Sir - At last the monstrous façade that has replaced the former Sunset Cottage frontage in St Clement's Street has been revealed in its total awfulness.
The harsh and soulless elevation looks like the work of an obsessive Lego builder and complements nothing in the immediate vicinity.
Although aesthetic appreciation is in the eye of the beholder, I believe many will agree that this represents yet a further erosion of Oxford's architectural heritage. No doubt it will be defended on the grounds of its 'iconic' status and imaginative use of materials.
Could not more imagination and sensitivity have been expected in the planning process?
