WE welcome the lively debate taking place in the pages of your newspaper about our proposed building.

We believe it is a beautiful, well-considered building but we respect the views of those who disagree.

We have made strenuous efforts to be open and transparent throughout the consultation and application period. These consultations and residents’ letters to your paper have thrown up many questions.

We have recently added a page to our school website that seeks to provide full answers: http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/roq-building-qanda.

We are committed to ensuring there are no surprises with our building and have responded to requests for more images and views of the building. On the same web-page, we have produced supplementary images to show how our building will look on the skyline and an animation of a walk up Walton Street to illustrate how our building will appear from different points along the street.

We hope your readers feel they have all the information they need to come to their own view about our proposal.
