On
11th July 2005, there was a major step forward on Battersea
Power Station Redevelopment when the first three tranches of
Reserved Matters Applications were submitted for listed building
consent.

The
latest set in the sequence of more than sixty planning
applications have been lodged for the development of the
Battersea Power Station site. This latest set of applications
however moves the development into a new phase as approval
is necessary to enable construction on the 38 acre site
to commence. This is one of the largest urban regeneration
projects in the capital.
The applications, which have been lodged with Wandsworth
Council, include detailed designs for essential ground
works, infrastructure and landscaping, submissions on
construction methods and plans for work on the Power Station
chimneys and wash towers.
Talking about applications, Michael Roberts, CEO of Parkview
International said
“We have always recognised the full complexity of
what is necessary to complete the planning and approval
process that governs our progress to completing the work.
We are meeting that challenge and today’s announcement
signals our on-going commitment to deal with the issues
involved in bringing this important London icon back to
life and our readiness to move forward”
Roger Preston and Partners have been responsible for the
engineering and infrastructure services advice and design
for all of these elements.
The final submission was for the re-building of the chimneys
and a re-fit of the Power Station wash towers. In respect
to this building, the jewel of the site, Roger Preston
is responsible for all aspects of the engineering services
and environmental design philosophy to renovate and invigorate
this grade II listed building.
