Network Rail claims that its scheme is environmentally exemplary. What this report demonstrates is that the scheme is anything but. It fails to abide by local and national policy, is environmentally backward, and would be redundant upon completion. On this basis alone it should be rejected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Henrietta Billings, director of SAVE Britain\u2019s Heritage, said:<\/strong> \u201cIt is shocking that a building designed in 2025 should be based on a 1990s rationale. The design and construction industry has made huge strides in the face of the climate emergency and there is no longer any excuse for last-century thinking. We urge the City of London to give this application the short shrift it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Failing net zero<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the report, Sturgis states that in light of the UK government\u2019s legally binding commitment to net zero by 2050, and the City of London\u2019s target for 2040, significant changes are required to office design to meet these targets.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed over-station office development, however, requires a \u201cmassive high carbon transfer structure\u201d to build over the station concourse which adds 25% to the carbon cost. Sturgis concludes that this building was not designed to meet best practice and current policies and targets for net zero.<\/p>\n<p>The report\u2019s findings are in stark contrast with Network Rail\u2019s claims that this building will \u201cbe net zero carbon in operation and to achieve the highest level of environmental performance in one of the most sustainable locations in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8216;Not commercially viable\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Network Rail say the tower is needed to pay for station upgrades, but its own advisors have admitted in the planning application documentation the \u00a31bn scheme is \u201cnot technically viable\u201d without an upswing in the market to cover a \u00a3220m shortfall. Meanwhile, more than 2,000 people have already written to the City of London Corporation to object to the plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the author of the report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Simon Sturgis<\/strong> is Managing Partner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetingzero.co.uk\/\">Targeting Zero<\/a>, and a member of the Construction Industry Council (CIC) Climate Change Expert Panel, the British Council for Offices Sustainability Group and was a Sustainability Advisor to the RIBA Stirling Prize (2017\/18).
