Save Our Southbank

South Bank is a vibrant hub of culture and heritage in London, attracting millions of visitors every year. We must ensure it stays that way.

We acknowledge the need for redevelopment of this site. However, in such a treasured area of London for locals and tourists, neighboured by listed IBM and National Theatre buildings, the design must protect and enhance rather than dominate its surrounding.

We are urging decision makers to reject the current proposal for this development, in favour of a smaller design that complements the surrounding area and adds value, for the local community and London as a whole.

Proposals for the redevelopment of ITV’s former home on London’s South Bank are heavily criticised by its neighbours and the wider community, who have been campaigning against the scheme since 2021.
The Secretary of State decided to exercise his powers in section 77 of the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act to determine the planning application for the former London Television Centre, 60-72 Upper Ground, London SE1 instead of London Borough of Lambeth.

A Public Inquiry opened on 6 December 2022 and concluded on 27 January 2023. This resulted in a report submitted by the designated Planning Inspector to Michael Gove MP, outlining the proposal, and arguments for and against its acceptance.
