Some groups objected to its effect on the skyline, saying it could 'cause serious harm' to the Tower of London's status.

"It has already been damaged by the Walkie Talkie and it would be a great shame if that mistake was repeated."Historic Royal Places went further, saying The Tulip would"cause serious harm" to the tower's status.The Square Mile's governing body said that, while the case was"finely balanced", it hoped the public benefits and planning conditions would outweigh any negatives.

In recommending the proposal, the City of London Corporation's planners said:"The development is significant in terms of its local and wider impacts and in particular its less than substantial harm to the World Heritage Site. Planning committee chairman, Chris Hayward, said:"After a lengthy and robust debate, the committee agreed to approve this truly unique visitor attraction."
