They were worried that the introduction of roof-lights into the roof of the listed building would entirely alter the building’s appearance and could lead other occupants to request similar permission.

have been chosen from more than 350 entries and the winner will receive £1,000 and a trophy. The results will be announced at an awards ceremony at London’s Savoy Hotel on September 24th.
