Southbank pulls controversial FCBS makeover scheme from planning

摘要

Planning The redevelopment of London's Southbank Centre has been temporarily pulled from planning in a last-ditch' attempt to find the extra cash to save the project. The surprise move comes just weeks after London mayor Boris Johnson's bombshell announcement that he would only support Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios'(FCBS) proposed £120 million overhaul if controversial plans to relocate the skatepark from under the Brutalist landmark were scrapped. The Southbank Centre has always argued that transforming the much-loved Queen Elizabeth Hall undercroft into restaurants was crucial to funding its ambitious Festival Wing revamp of the 1967 riverside landmark.
