Architect Foster and Partners submitted a new scheme for a luxury residential development at Albion Wharf in London’s Wandsworth to local planners on Wednesday.
The scheme, the fifth designed by Foster for the riverside site, replaces one called in by deputy prime minister John Prescott.
The previous scheme, which rose in a spiral to 16 storeys, was granted planning permission in October 1998. But, in January, Prescott ordered a public inquiry into the scheme amid continuing local objections to its height and lack of social housing provision. The inquiry has now been cancelled.
The new scheme rises to 11 storeys at its highest point. It includes 235 apartments, as well as ground-floor offices, shops, a restaurant and a fitness centre.
It will also include affordable housing, new public spaces and a riverside walk.
The client is Albion Properties.
