Plans for a controversial high-rise development on Battersea’s riverfront have been rejected by Wandsworth council, which will come as a relief to residents who have campaigned against the development and argued that it will “tower over” their homes.
The Glassmill development, backed by developer Rockwell, includes 110 homes, of which half will be for social rent. The scheme includes a taller element housing private flats and a “shoulder tower” of ten storeys, which would contain 54 social homes, affordable workspace and a free-to-access community space.
