Great result. But I wonder what the next move will be by the would-be developers. At least the council have woken up to what’s at stake.

Delighted with the result. Congratulations to all those who took direct action to save such an important area. Hopefully, it will show others what can be done with grass-roots activism for other local groups , and their battles to come in preserving the character of their part of the city.

I was checking Twitter waiting for the news with butterflies in my stomach as I felt that no one could possibly agree to demolishing such a clearly beautiful place but also knowing the power of cancerous organisations like British Land. I didn’t know which way it would go.

I gasped out loud with sheer joy when I saw the news. I am overjoyed and can’t wait got visit it soon.

Thank you to you, and everyone involved in saving this beautiful piece of our heritage – you are a total inspiration. Fight the good fight, and don’t give up. I fear this is the battle but the war on the vandalism of London will never be over so here’s to future battles and wars!

Fantastic news!!
We have run a small business in the Spitalfields area since 1997 and seen the area swallowed up by highrise towers. Gone are the netball pitches, the artists studio’s and craftsmen and women who made this area so vibrant and so alive. I feel that this is a victory for them!!!!
The fight is on, and the battle is not lost……….

Well done Gentle Author and to all involved with campaign. I was proud to be there to join hands around Norton Folgate on Sunday a remarkable event and to hear of the great outcome at last nights council meeting. Delighted to see that democracy worked!
Whilst this victory is wonderful news, I fear the fight may not be over and hope that British Land do not appeal or that Boris does not overturn the decision. But I will remain vigilant and will be down to the area again and make my opposition known and to do what needs to be done in the future to secure the liberty of Norton Folgate.
