Chelsea Confirm Battersea Bid
Chelsea Football Club have confirmed that it has submitted an offer, with its property development partner Almacantar, to acquire the 39-acre Battersea Power Station site.
Battersea Power Station is one of London's most famous buildings and has the potential to become one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world.
The joint bid was submitted in accordance with the sales process established by the Joint Administrators for the site. The process could run for a number of months.
A spokesperson said: "We are not the only interested parties and there is no certainty that we will be successful. We also appreciate that we have many significant hurdles to address if we are to build a new stadium on the site, including winning the support of our fans, the CPO shareholders and local Wandsworth residents, as well as securing the approval of Wandsworth Council, the Greater London Authority and heritage authorities. We must also stress that making an offer for the Battersea Power Station site does not mean the club has made a definitive decision to leave Stamford Bridge.
"Working with architects and planning experts we have developed a plan to preserve all the significant aspects of Battersea Power Station. The four iconic chimneys and wash towers along with the Grade II* listed west turbine hall and control room will be restored and retained in their original locations and provide a unique architectural backdrop to a world-class stadium with a capacity of around 60,000 seats."
