There is controversy over this proposed tower block in the Barbican financial district of London. Some claim that the demolition of an existing building on the site and construction of a new one (at an estimated cost of £450-million) might disturb a pair of Peregrine Falcons that are regularly seen perched on another tower block less than 20 metres away. However, there is no conclusive evidence that these birds are nesting. And could it be that the proposed new building might even represent a preferable site? The application, to which Natural England has offered no objection, is currently under consideration by City of London planners.
