Everyone living in and around Nine Elms knows that the area is being
transormed. Central to that regeneration is the New Covent Garden
Market site.
Welcome
In 2012, Covent Garden Market Authority (CGMA)
secured outline planning permission to build a new
combined ower and ruit & vegetable market and to
und that process by procuring a private development
partner to develop the 20 acres o surplus land inreturn or building the new market.
CGMA subsequently appointed VINCI St. Modwen
(VSM) to deliver the entire scheme. This exhibition is
about the progress achieved by VSM since contracts
were signed with CGMA in January 2013.
We would like to hear your views on the changes that
are now being proposed or both the surplus land
and the latest plans or the new market. These two
elements will orm the basis o a planning application
to be made at the end o the year.
VSM is an established joint venture between
St. Modwen, the UKs leading regeneration
specialist and VINCI PLC. It was set up initially to
deliver development or the Ministry o Deence.
In 2012, VSM was appointed by CGMA as its
development partner on the New Covent Garden
Market scheme. A development agreement was
signed in January 2013.

The extension o the
Northern Line rom
Kennington, with two new
stations at Wandsworth
Road and at Batterseaopening in 2019, will
transorm Nine Elms.
Connections
The vast majority o people living and
working on the New Covent Garden
Market site will be within fve minutes o a
tube station and will be able to link easily
into local rail and bus services.
VSMs scheme is set to to improve
pedestrian links across the site towardsthe river and under the railway lines that
run into Vauxhall. The linear park that
ormed a central part o CGMAs permitted
scheme will be retained and enhanced,
orming a highly attractive, accessible and
sae place to walk and cycle.
You will be able to take the ten minute
walk down the new Food Avenue running
rom Vauxhall to the new Garden
Heart area where the Market will meet the
public. This will be a ood centre hub, acentral London destination based
on healthy living and an excellent standard
o resh produce. It will showcase the best
quality produce and mix specialist ood
shops and restaurants with delicatessens,
grocers and public markets.
The proposed access points onto the
road network ollow those set by CGMA.
Vehicles will be deterred rom crossing the linear park. The
car will be subservient and extensive pedestrian areas
will be created. Care will be taken to preclude rat-running
through the sites while access into the residential areas has
been ormalised.

VSM and CGMA have been working up detailed plans or the market in
close conjunction with the traders.
Development o market proposals
As a result, several important amendments are
being made to the permitted 2012 scheme to
improve operational efciency, trafc movement
and health and saety:
The ruit & vegetable market is being located
urther towards the west o the site releasing land
next to the new Nine Elms tube station which is
better suited or residential development.
The market will now occupy three wider buildings,
not the our originally proposed.
The buyers walk and wholesalers will be in
the centre o these three units, anked by two
buildings or caterers and distributors.
Reecting the CGMA consented scheme, the
redesigned units are the same distance rom the
rear o the houses on Crimsworth Road.
The market entrance has been moved into the
site.
Within the operational area o the new market,
vehicle manoeuvring, parking and loading areas
have been increased allowing produce to be
transerred aster and more saely.
The ower market will occupy the building to
the east sitting immediately adjacent to the
Garden Heart, which orms the core o the new
market scheme.
The Garden Heart which ronts a new plaza to
showcase the best o what New Covent Garden
Market sells, has now been reconfgured. It is
the same size as beore but is now closer to the
ower market, allowing acilities and parking to
be shared more eectively.

People living along Thessaly Road are only shielded rom the noise and
early morning disturbance o the market by an unsightly wall.
The Thessaly Road Site
The permitted CGMA scheme was designed to
reduce this disturbance and complete the street
by building ats on the market side o the road that
would rise between six and eight storeys in height.
The principles o completing the street and
providing a barrier to shield existing residents rom
noise and disturbance have been carried over into
the VSM proposals. The new market buildings are
no nearer to existing residents than now and we
have reduced signifcantly the scale o the new
homes on Thessaly Road that were proposed by
CGMA. We now propose a more traditional terrace
o two and three storey amily homes with gardens.

The triangular site to the north o the market isnow larger than CGMA envisaged as the market
has been moved to the west.
The Apex Site
VSM envisages a succession o pedestrianised public spaces and
squares anked by new buildings. The most important o these will be
the large open space ronting onto the Garden Heart building to be used
or a public market.
The area has been redesigned to provide important new links towards
the river rom the residential areas immediately to the south and east
and rom the new Nine Elms tube station.
Since CGMAs initial scheme was permitted, Wandsworth Council
has also granted planning permission or a scheme put orward by
Sainsburys, immediately to the north east o the Apex site, which
includes a 37 storey tower. VSM has responded to this. We now
propose a tall building closest to the Sainsburys tower with heights
alling away towards the Garden Heart.
The ground oors here will be mostly given over to shops, cas and
restaurants, creating a lively and exciting quarter or London. The rest
o the development will be residential-led with some social housing.
A sequence of courts and squares that are linked together.
A variety of urban plazas and quiet communal gardens.

In response to what has been happening on surrounding developments
the Northern site has been redesigned signifcantly.
The Northern Site
Sainsburys will now be rebuilding its Nine Elms ood
store and there are two new consented stores in the
vicinity. Thereore, VSM is no longer proposing the
supermarket which gained planning consent as part othe CGMA scheme.
The recent planning permission or the 200m One Nine Elms
building (also known as Market Towers), immediately to the
north east, and the Councils desire to see a cluster o tall
buildings in this area has led VSM to reconsider the height
o buildings here. Our scheme now responds by proposing
three taller buildings marking the eastern entrance to the
linear park the tallest o which will be lower than both One
Nine Elms and St Georges Tower.
These changes mean that buildings on the site can nowoccupy a smaller ootprint than originally proposed by
CGMA. This allows VSM to introduce more green and
open, communal, space around the linear park, including a
childrens play area.
This area continues to be a predominantly residential quarter
with shops, ofces and a GPs surgery at ground oor level.
VSM has submitted a separate application or an access
onto Wandsworth Road which will serve the Northern
and Apex sites and provide a secondary access to the
US Embassy.

The Entrance site too has seen signifcant
amendments to the CGMA scheme.
The Entrance Site
In the permitted scheme the main vehicular access gates or market
users were located here. These have now been relocated into the
market itsel, allowing us to reduce the scale o the road and to
enhance the linear park or pedestrians and cyclists.
The entrance to the linear park rom Nine Elms Lane has been
strengthened urther by moving a residential building to the mostnorthern point o the site. The architects have also redesigned the
residential blocks on the site to minimise the number that ront onto
the entrance road.
This area will continue to be predominantly residential. Shops and
caes will ront the ground oors on the parts o the site looking over
Nine Elms Lane and the linear park.

The heights o the buildings proposed across the site continue to
reect guidance in local and GLA planning policy. Most o them are in
the low-rise to mid-rise category.
Building Heights
Some higher buildings are proposed on the Northern
and Apex sites, respecting the guidance o the planning
authority and the GLA.
On the Northern site we will build lower than the high
point set by the permitted Market Towers building
and St Georges Tower. Building heights will all awayacross this site towards Ballymores Embassy Gardens
development.
The same principle has been adopted on the Apex
site where the highest building will be lower than that
permitted on the adjacent Sainsburys site and all away
towards the Garden Heart.
Great care has been taken to ensure that we respect
the guidance on the long range protected views across
London and, in particular, that we do not compromise
the protected views o the Palace o Westminster.
