As an urban planner I'm stunned how invasive this design is and as posters already said: It's a very modern design that does not fit the interior utilization nor the intended exterior representation. The view from the motorway makes it look like a new nuclear power-plant being constructed there, not like it had anything to do with aviation or the Battle of Britain.



These monuments are much more appealing and iconic, IMHO:









On a personal note: What message do they want to send, creating yet another memorial for a battle that happened 60 years ago?
