Battersea developer kicks up stink over Thames'super-sewer'

摘要

The construction of the £4.1bn Thames "super-sewer" would endanger the £8bn restoration and redevelopment of London's Battersea Power Station and make a whole tranche of apartments planned for the site "unsellable", the power station's developer has claimed. In a submission to the Planning Inspectorate - which is considering whether to grant the super-sewer's developer Thames Water permission to build the tunnel - the developer of Battersea Power Station also said the tunnel's construction programme would jeopardise funding for the £600m Northern line extension.
