    Looks like the new buildings are screening the iconic power plant off, both from rail and the river. If the apartments are sold mainly for investment and not habitation it’s real waste.

      From the rail, definitely, but from the river definitely not.

    Why do they build structures that encloses the power station if it’s so iconic? Compare with the new US embassy and its surroundings....

    Was there any local Londoners input. Looks like a corporate blueprint with a any city in the USA look. Always liked Frank Lloyd Wright viewpoint about organic from the ground up. Looks like a continued brutalist thingy . hope the end result blows us a way and I am proven Wrong.

      That's all they had to do to keep it's iconic identity nothing else built around it.

    I hope with all the construction going on around it, they are not neglecting BPS itself. It seems that attention to reverse the years of neglect should be paramount to save this iconic building from further decay, otherwise history could repeat itself, big plans, failure, and nothing done to preserve this beautiful building, followed by more years of neglect and further decay until it becomes unsalvageable. I agree that buildings around it, detracts from the building itself, it would have been better to use just BPS with open space around it, but at least this way it will not be destined for the wrecking ball.

    This massive glassy body with the anonymous planes of repeating windows looks out of proportion. I don‘t see much soul in those polygonal buildings which are set around the station. Nothing that screams London when you see the courtyards. Its too generic.

    Battersea Power Station Development Company are destroying Chelsea Bridge Wharf. Their traffic along Sopwith Way, a 5mph service road, is now at 2-300 a day and most of it is doing 30-40mph, sometimes more. They are currently running an empty bus round Chelsea Bridge Wharf every 10 minutes form 8am to 10pm . I have videoed this bus at speed of up to 50 . Berkeley Homes own this private road and gave access to Batters Power Station Development Company without consulting residents.

      Thanks for your comment. This issue has been taken up with the relevant authorities. Official complaints have been lodged with Battersea Power Station Development Company , our local MP and Councillors and yes it has been widely posted on social media. If it doesn't effect you, you can ignore it - but I post things that I consider relevant and which effect residents where I live - you post what interests you.
