Battersea Power Station
Wandsworth Council is discussing proposed increases to building heights at the Battersea Power Station development, raising heritage concerns.
Wandsworth Council's Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee discussed an application in November 2026 to vary outline planning permission for the Battersea Power Station development. The proposal seeks to increase building heights in localised areas of phases four and 5B to approximately 65 metres, exceeding the previously approved 35-39 metres. This development has raised heritage concerns for the Grade II listed landmark.
The Battersea Power Station is a mixed-use property development project located on the site of the former coal-fired power station in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The company is responsible for the development proposals for this Grade II* listed building. The site is being redeveloped and will feature new visitor attractions.
