Developer Heliport London LTD has submitted a planning application for the scheme with the Wandworth Council.
The Torre Torre in Lombard Road, next to the Thames River, would contain 143 floors, if approved by the counter.
It would also have work space, a gym for residents and a game area on its lower floors.
It would be the tallest Battersa building, replacing an empty five -story office building, known as Heliport House, and two industrial garages.
The Council approved plans to add a 15 -story tower on Heliport House in 2014, without affordable houses, but this was never built.
The last scheme proposes a much larger tower that contains 51 affordable houses, with 143 houses in general.
Planning documents say that the scheme “would represent a significant improvement of low quality buildings that currently occupy the site.”
The developer promised to improve the area around the proposal tower by making the Thames path behind London Heliport more accessible.
But the plans have received 11 objections so far on the Council’s website, with the residents who raise conns partular on the height of the Tower proposal and the impact on traffic levels.
An objector wrote: “The proposed tower is excessively high. It would significantly affect the horizon of the area and would be out of place compared to other buildings, both in the immediate area and on the riverbank.
“There is already a significant pressure on local services, the overcrowding of trains and CE buses, and this must be mitigated before adding a new significant population. There is the need for affordable homes.
“Most of the new residential will be for the private market, and there are no indications that they are affordable.
“The floors in new similar developments are currently not sold and/or unemployed.
“This is a place near the river, and it must be given significantly more to create space for nature and wildlife.”
Another resident commented: “This proposal rebukes another instance of over -development, high prioritization density housing without adequate consideration for support infrastructure, public spaces or long -term community welfare.
“The cumulative effect of such residential mass developments risks not going to the habitability and sustainability of the Wat neighborhood is already losing its identity and meaning of the community.”
Planning documents argued that development “would offer numerous and heavy public benefits … which would be unfeasible in a narrower scheme.”
They added: “The principle of residential use on this site in Brownfield is strongly supported by a variety of reasons established both in the local plan and in the London.
“The site is assigned for residential development and would deliver an iconic design through the richly articulated form of the building, its slenderness and elegance, which would improve the local urban landscape, cause the indifferent.”
The Council will decide the plans in due time.
