The Battersea Society cannot support these proposals to replace 39 residential units with co-living space.

The following response follows the format of the online questionnaire in narrative form.

The Battersea Society was surprised that they were not included in the notification about the consultation on these proposals, only having been alerted to them belatedly by a local Councillor.

We were disappointed that this appears to be only a partial consultation to register an intent to make changes to the masterplan.

First we wish to thank Joe Richardson and his team for the helpful way they have briefed us and for their willingness to maintain dialogue as their plans progress.

The Battersea Society has now considered further the proposals for the redevelopment of the storage facility in Mendip Road Battersea which were presented at the webinar in August.

As with our earlier response, there is much to commend about these proposals and we have confidence that the restoration work and new building will be carried out to the high standard this important Battersea landmark building deserves.

The Battersea Society Planning Committee were grateful for the Zoom presentation from W-RE on the proposals for the future of the former Arding and Hobbs building.

We are grateful for the time the team gave to presenting their plans to us and allowing us to provide feedback at this stage.

We are grateful that the developers alerted us to this and enabled us both to alert our members and respond to the consultation.

This is set out in strategy paper 20.056 presented to the Strategic Planning and Transportation Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 5 February 2020.
