The Zhong Rong proposal is way out of scale with the local economy and infrastructure, hopefully any future plans will recognise this.a f hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961990380747586036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257577153395464.post-12177918139328415082015-01-30T20:05:37.547+00:002015-01-30T20:05:37.547+00:00Having a palace at the top of the stairs up to the...Having a palace at the top of the stairs up to the old palace site would be wonderful and would fill the void that was left by the fire on a plot that was always intended to home a landmark building. The site would be visible from all over London and really put Crystal Palace on the map. Bromley is the greenest borough in London and much more in need of cultural facilities than the current green scrubland. Okay, being realistic it needs to include some commercial content in order to be viable, but as long as these are balance and complemented by superb cultural facilities and includes areas and activities that are free access for the local community that seems reasonable to me. Obviously it is worth Bromley making sure that the plans are going to address these points adequately which will take time. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
