Developer Land Securities is to submit a 鈥渞adical reformation鈥 of its plans for the redevelopment of the area around London鈥檚 Victoria station in the next few weeks.

Mike Hussey, Land Secs鈥 London managing director, said the firm was aiming to get the scheme, on which it has already spent 拢23m, submitted in June.

Land Secs鈥 original plans were rejected by Westminster council in December for not complying with local planning policies on building height and affordable housing.

Hussey told delegates at the British Council for Offices conference in Brussels: 鈥淲e鈥檒l put in a scheme that won鈥檛 give public realm improvement or transport improvement, but might get planning permission. It鈥檚 a much smaller scheme 鈥 it鈥檚 a missed opportunity.鈥
