This is the original citation on Rob McGibbon’s campaign entitled S.O.B.B – STOP ONE BATTERSEA BRIDGE

 

This is a call to action to help STOP a vast and vulgar property development proposed to emerge right by Battersea Bridge.

The project – entitled One Battersea Bridge – will destroy a precious, historical riverside vista – to line the pockets of a super rich company, its architects Farrells and their builders. They have NO regard for the repercussions of this design on the area.

One Battersea Bridge (OBB) is the brainchild of PROMONTORIA BATTERSEA, a determined and experienced developer with a network of other businesses.

This project features a 34 storey tower rising to 119 metres, plus a huge chunk of other buildings. All this will be built right next to Battersea Bridge on its south side and beside the waterfront. Its scale and density for such a location is ridiculous on so many levels, not least the chaos it will cause during and AFTER its construction.

Make no mistake – this absurdly disproportionate development CAN happen unless urgent action is taken by YOU – the community, the council and beyond.

The deadline to make a comment about this to Wandsworth Council closes on 31st AUGUST (new deadline).

We need you to step up and make a comment NOW.  You can do it HERE.

Please put Netflix on pause, or stop playing Wordle, and spend a tiny bit of time to help STOP the grotesque One Battersea Bridge. This is not a silly sob story – this is serious.

The longterm purpose of this campaign is to have the project scrapped ALTOGETHER. It is my assertion that Promontoria and Farrells are deliberately and cyncially proposing such a vast project – with a view to strategically absorb the complaints and then “offer to reduce” the scale to get it approved. This is an all-too common ploy by developers. In fact, Farrells used these exact tactics for the twin towers (laughably called “two dancers in the sky” by Sir Terry Farrell himself!) at its Chelsea Waterfront development bang opposite this new Battersea design.

Pass on the news. Tell your friends , your family, your schools and councillors.

Bin this build. Back S.O.B.B Campaign.
