Minerva To Try Again With Ram Brewery
Published on 22-09-2010 by Skyscrapernews.com
Following the rejection by the planning inspectorate of the plans for towers on the Ram Brewery site in south-west London despite the thumbs up from the local council, property developer Minerva has decided to go back to the drawing board and try again.
It's not all been bad news for Minerva. The area of the Wandsworth Brewery that relates to Buckhold Road has been resubmitted for government examination with a modified Section 106 agreement relating to the planning gain of the scheme. For this element of the project, the development itself was deemed suitable, but with the proviso that Minerva offer improved terms which they are now going to make.
As the company correctly points out in its full year results, one of the main issues was the height of the towers, and thus it can be expected that any new planning application will see these severely reduced. At the same time there was the issue of gas-holder that they would stand near to, and in the event of an emergency could take the direct force of a blast from, the last thing you possibly want a tall building to experience.
One possible solution to this could be similar to that seen at Battersea where an office building was placed next to the gas-holders to provide a barrier element between them and residential housing.
There is no word yet on whether the firm has retained EPR Architects on the scheme to revise it, Minerva are expected to submit a revised planning application later in 2010 for the main portion of the development.
