Thats great news Nodrog! Pat on the back everyone!
But... I have to question if it's really worth objecting to this proposal again. i understand your questioning the massing in relation to the existing (to be retained) facade, but given that it is bounded by 4storey tenements on all sides, is it really so innapropriate?
You can't tell too much from just a snap of a plan but i have to admit it doesn't look great, but then I'm not sure how convincing anything would look incorporated into a egypto-moghul-esque entrance portico (as much as I love the thing!).
I think the objective you set yourself to save this portion of the building has been fulfilled and it might undermine your position to (what will likely be perceived as) nit-pick (not my perception of course!)
Sorry to be negative like that, i hope you understand what I mean and that you've not taken offence. I wont cast dispersions by I'd hate to see another fire or similar
Anyway, job well done! Good on you
