Sir – Andrew Baker (Letters, February 19) writes that he likes the Castle Mill blocks and considers them an enhancement to the view from Port Meadow.
His opinion is certainly idiosyncratic when one remembers that they were runner-up in the 2013 Carbuncle Cup awarded for Ugliest Building of the Year.
Unfortunately he completely misses the main point for those of us who detest them which is the manner in which Oxford University set about circumventing the planning procedures.
The belated Environmental Impact Assessment documents 22 protected heritage landscapes "adversely affected" by the development, the planning process was subverted with errors and inadequate consultation and they just should not be there, whatever their architectural merits or otherwise.
