After seven years of, at times, fierce debate the fate of The Point has been sealed. Members of the Council’s planning committee voted unanimously to approve Hammerson’s final designs to replace The Point, saying this was a building that would stand the test of time.
In a late condition attached to the approval, the original Point cannot be demolished until the owners are ready to start building its replacement, and as a mark of how keen the Council is to see this prime site brought back to life, the applicant has two years to get started before the consent expires.

Horid and another reasob not to go up the city abymore what with all our retails parks.
The point is amazing stick the red frame on the roof of that building with a free feed web cam then we are talking 360o view of the city
I do actually like this design! I think it fits in very well with the overall shopping centre design and adds interest. It also incorporates tress so is a winner with me!
Another non-descript Lego building to replace the iconic Point. Take a look at the amazing buildings being built at any other U.K. city.
