Plans for a major redevelopment of the Tideway Industrial Estate in Nine Elms, south London, have been submitted by St James Group to the local authority.

Wandsworth Council has said that it will consult local residents and businesses over the proposals, which include a hotel, a café, a bar, a restaurant and a housing development. Space for new retail units, a crèche and a gallery will also form part of the scheme, along with the creation of a small park and the widening and landscaping of the Thames Riverside Walk.

It is the latest in a series of planning applications for the Nine Elms area, with other proposed developments including an overhaul of Battersea Power Station and the creation of a new US Embassy. Nine Elms comprises around 450 acres (182 hectares) of land on the south bank of the River Thames and has been identified as an 'opportunity area' in the Mayor's London plan.

Plans are also afoot to extend the Northern Line to incorporate the area into the London Underground network.
