I have another, perhaps more basic, question to add to those posed by the Civic Trust.
Who makes a gateway by putting down a huge block?
On approaching Bolton town centre via Manchester Road the current view of the Town Hall would be completely blocked by this monstrous building.
Trendy terms like Gateway and Quarter are not a substitute for serious planning.
