London's only heliport objects to plans to build giant 35-storey tower next door
Briefly

London Heliport has formally objected to a developer's proposal for a 35-storey tower in Battersea, expressing serious safety concerns. The heliport, providing crucial emergency services, argues that the proximity of the tower poses risks related to air safety and foreign object debris. The Managing Director highlighted the need for thorough technical and legal advice before the council makes a decision. There have been 53 objections from local residents regarding the tower's height and its impact on the heliport's operations, further complicating the council's considerations.
Such a development proposal, so close to an operational heliport in the middle of a capital city, presents unique, immediate, and obvious considerations...
We will need time to take technical, planning and legal advice on the application...expect the council not to determine the application until it has received our further detailed objection.
