Casual Destruction should Not be an Option

Pepler House in North Kensington (designed by the author Peter Deakins in 1962 when with Associate Clifford Wearden) is a prime example of the idiocies of both ‘Planning Residential Densities’ and the continuing casual destruction of perfectly serviceable buildings to obtain ‘planning gain’. This is made even worse where people who have little control over the lives are (as in this case) made to leave their homes and, mostly, move to other areas whilst their landlords continually play ‘the numbers game’ (ie keep up with their quotas).
