Following detailed consultation with stakeholders, the U.S. Department of State submitted two planning applications to Wandsworth Council in May 2009, comprising:
Outline Planning Application:
- A 40,000 - 50,000 sq m building
- Three entrance pavilions
- Landscaping and perimeter treatments
Detailed Planning Application:
- The relocation of Ponton Road
- A new access road off Nine Elms Lane
- New road signals on, and treatment of, Nine Elms Lane
Following feedback received from discussions with stakeholders and local residents, a number of revisions were made to the proposed road layout surrounding the Embassy - see the Transport & Access page for further information.
Outline planning permission for the two applications was granted by Wandsworth Council in September 2009. Following the appointment of KieranTimberlake as the designer of the new Embassy, they will now develop their initial concepts into a final design before a Reserved Matters Planning Application is submitted to Wandsworth Council after further consultation later in 2010.
