It looks as if the redevelopment of the Battersea Power Station site, which we reported last month on Alpine Elements Community (check it to see different pictures), has now received the necessary approval of the Lord Mayor of London. Boris Johnson, is reported as saying: ”Battersea Power Station has long been an iconic feature of the capital’s skyline… With its future secured through this regeneration, it will once again play a part in driving London’s economy.”
It is unknown what effect the redevelopment will have on the Freeze big air snowboard, freeski and music festival, which takes place on the site at the end of October. London’s FIS recognized Big Air event has had a nomadic life having already moved from Covent Garden to Battersea Park then across the railway line to it’s present venue.
