Construction work on the Battersea Power Station site will not restart until at least the end of April, following its temporary closure last week<\/h2>\n

Construction was temporarily suspended last week on the Battersea Power Station redevelopment.<\/p>\n

Simon Murphy, CEO of the Battersea Power Station Development Company<\/a>, has provided an update to its workers.<\/p>\n

In the statement, Murphy said: \u201cAs we continue to all face this unprecedented COVID-19<\/a> public health emergency we are working closely with all our customers, tenants, supply chain, construction managers and the wider community to ensure we are navigating the challenges faced as effectively and appropriately as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the start of the outbreak we have worked to ensure we follow government requirements and guidelines and protect the health, safety and well-being of all who live and work at Battersea Power Station.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the temporary closure of the site<\/a> last week we have concluded that, in light of the government requirements and guidelines, the site should remain closed for the next few weeks. We will review the position again on 17 April and if deemed appropriate to reopen, main site works would recommence on 27 April. In this period the only people working on site will be our security team and a skeleton staff undertaking essential maintenance.<\/p>\n

“Offsite works and design activity will continue where possible to ensure we are in the best possible position when we restart on site.\u201d<\/p>\n

Battersea Power Station redevelopment<\/h3>\n

At its peak, Battersea Power Station was supplying a fifth of London’s electricity. After decades of sitting derelict, it is now being redeveloped into a new destination for London.<\/p>\n

The \u00a39bn project will see the creation of a new destination for London, housing a community of homes, shops, cafes, offices, leisure and cultural venues, with over 19 acres of public space.<\/p>\n

The outline planning application for the Rafael Vinoly designed masterplan was approved by Wandsworth Council<\/a> and the Mayor of London in 2010 and subsequently by the secretary of state.<\/p>\n

The project is divided into eight phases, each designed by a range of renowned architects, with an overarching placemaking strategy across all phases.<\/p>\n
