Broadgate Square now immune from listing
皇冠体育app Secretary of State has issued a Certificate of Immunity from Listing (COI) for a group of buildings associated with Broadgate Square.

皇冠体育app Broadgate Estate is an extensive office development, situated close to Liverpool Street Station in London.听 Broadgate belongs to a new wave of commercial developments that began to appear in London in the early 1980s.
皇冠体育app COI covers Nos. 1-2 and 8-12 Broadgate, No.100 Liverpool Street, the Octagon, Octagon Arcade and the sculpture 鈥楩ulcrum鈥�, the Broadgate Circle, Broadgate Square with the sculpture 鈥楲eaping Hare on Crescent and Bell鈥� and the associated paving and landscaping.听聽
In reaching her decision, made after careful consideration of all the evidence, including English Heritage advice, Mrs Miller noted:
-
Broadgate is not of special historic interest beyond that of other commercial buildings of the 1980s鈥�;
-
Buildings embodying the 鈥楤ig Bang鈥� and ensuing de-regulation of the 1980s are better represented by Docklands (especially Canary Wharf);
-
Buildings聽 4 and 6 have been demolished which has impacted on the interest of the complex as a whole, and
-
No new information about the buildings special interest has emerged since the previous decision not to list was made in June 2011.听
Commenting on her decision, Mrs Miller said: 鈥淲hilst I appreciate that the Broadgate Estate is a site known and liked by many Londoners, it is not believed that architecturally statutory listing is required. I am therefore happy to grant a Certificate of Immunity which will provide owners with certainty when making proposals about its future鈥�.听
