The Structural Engineer, Volume 78, Issue 19, 2000
Who can be a planning supervisor? The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations, 1994, place no restrictions on who may be appointed as a planning supervisor, provided they are competent to perform that function in relation to a particular project; indeed, the client may carry out the duties himiherself, provided that the person appointed has the necessary competence. However, the risk of sacrificing the objectivity that an independent planning supervisor brings to a project should not be overlooked.
The design and construction of Westminster Station on the London Underground Jubilee Line project was both technically demanding and a complex undertaking. This paper is concerned with the design but not the construction. It sets out to describe the many and varied constraints imposed by the selected site,adjacent buildings and structures designed and built by others over the station whilst it was under construction.

Lime mortar was used extensively between the 15th and 18th centuries for bonding and surface dressing of masonry. Its supremacy as a building material continued until the late 19th century, when it was superseded by the arrival of Portland cement - and the availability of faster setting cement mortars and renders.
