John,I don’t think that they were campaigning against its replacement, it was what it was proposed to be replaced with (an 8 story building) that they were concerned with.The local planning department agreed too! Had the developers proposed a 6 story building as a compromise it would have been approved with a lot less fuss.Regardless the development was approved, against local protest, by Boris Johnson when mayor, but the owners close to sell rather than develop the siteNot everything is black and white!
