Plans by Magdalen College to extend its library in a new building on its lawn have been thrown out by the City Council. The L-shaped building was described as âbrutalâ and âuglyâ by two councillors, although another said it was a âsympathetic interventionâ and a âgood way of addressing the needs of the collegeâ.
Magdalen Investment Bursar Charles Young insisted it was the âbest solutionâ.
