Mayor withholds Victoria plan consent over Crossrail funding
Katie Daubney, Planning, 3 April 2009
London mayor Boris Johnson has refused consent for Land Securities' plans to redevelop the area around Victoria station.
The decision was announced at a meeting of the Greater London Authority planning committee. However, a spokeswoman from the mayor's office said Johnson is minded to reverse this if the developers can make a contribution to Crossrail.
The levy would be charged under proposed alterations to the London Plan. Discussions continue with Land Securities, Transport for London and Westminster City Council.
A Land Securities spokeswoman refused to comment or speculate on the figure that may be demanded as a Crossrail contribution.
Westminster approved the application after twice rejecting the scheme (Planning, 13 February, p6). Strategic director for the built environment Rosemarie MacQueen said: "The mayor and his advisers are aware of how marginal some projects are in the current climate. Equally, we know that developers recognise the need for Crossrail. We hope that a deal can be agreed voluntarily and we are working to make this happen."
