KPF Associates and Land Securities have submitted a new planning application to transform central London's Victoria today (19 September).
 |
The project includes six buildings designed to a masterplan by KPF Associates including the transport interchange (pictured) and includes elements by Benson & Forsyth and Lynch Architects.
 |
KPF and Land Securities were forced to rethink their proposals after CABE, local resident groups and Westminster Council called for the development to be cut down in size.
 |
The tallest building in the scheme is now a 90m-tall office block designed by KPF, and the mixed-use proposals include improved public space, gardens and wider pedestrian routes.
According to Land Securities, two elements – Portland House, which was to be designed by Wilkinson Eyre, and Terminus Place – have been cut from the original application submitted in 2007.
Land Securities is expected to make further planning applications for Selborne House, Victoria Street and Wellington House and Buckingham Gate in the coming weeks.
