objection. Although existing shopfront is not original, the openings and the detailing on the brick piers are clearly original. Any new shopfront should be inserted within the existing apertures and the original features retained.

2020/0179 Former St Michael and All Angels Church Mark Street EC2A 4QX Erection of five storey (plus basement) building (Use Class B1) on land to north of the former church; redevelopment and change of use of church from retail (A1) to office (B1), including removal of existing internal structures and erection of new partial mezzanine floor and new entrances.

objection. While highly commending the new design, we find the loss of the view of the church building from Leonard St unacceptable. We suggest a reduction in the bulk and massing of the five story building to preserve as much as possible of the existing street view.

2020/0439 57 Hoxton Square N1 6HD Change of use of basement from office (Use Class B1) and ground floor from retail (Use Class A1) to B1 use over basement and ground floor (Danny Huber 020 8356 1453)

2020/0313 Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen 2-4 The Lux Centre Hoxton Square N1 6NU New free-standing framework to the front of No.2 Hoxton Square. (Kim Aukett 020 8356 4740)

objection. The permanent vertical support of the new structure creates a visually permanent outdoor room, extending further into the public space and having a negative impact on the Square. Further, the argument that similar structures have been approved at Nos. 11 and 16 Hoxton Square undermines 'the pattern and rhythm of frontages around the Square" as singled out in the Conservation Area Appraisal doc 5.4.9)
