18-Storey Block for 203 Council Homes at Battersea

Wandsworth Council secures a significant deal for affordable housing at Battersea Power Station, with plans for 203 council homes in an 18-storey block. This marks a major milestone in the £9 billion regeneration project, aiming to boost affordable housing. The council, after negotiating with developers, obtained a long-term lease for the land, lasting centuries, to accommodate families from their waiting list. With 11,183 households waiting last year, including 3,771 homeless ones, this deal increases affordable homes to 15% if approved. The application, now on the council website, details a building with rooftop gardens, green spaces, accessible parking, and bike racks. Homes are expected to be ready by 2029, part of phase five out of seven. Over 2,200 homes are already completed, along with shops, eateries, and a new Tube line. With 16 acres remaining, future phases will bring more housing, jobs, and cultural spots.
