Rarely has there been a better example of the crying need for LVT

Guardian: Battersea Power Station: the power of dreams

Battersea Power Station is to be demerged from the loss-making Irish property company that now owns it, and floated on the Aim market. There have been many false starts on the redevelopment of the station over the years. 1987: A consortium announced plans to convert the building into a Disney-style leisure complex. 1990, the proposal was changed to a mixture of offices, shops and a hotel. 2001: A design for a permanent performance home for the Cirque du Soleil was granted planning approval. 2005: A proposed redevelopment as an entertainment and leisure destination containing bars, restaurants, cinemas and retail outlets. 2008: A firm of Irish developers wanted to relaunch the famous site as a power station. 2009: Another year, another redevelopment plan. 2010: Still nothing.
