Following the shameful shenanigans of 2009, when Prince Charles used his international influence to enforce his vision of traditionalist architecture and scupper plans for a Lord Rogers-designed development of the Chelsea Barracks site, things appear to be moving forward. A design by Michael Squire (more about him here) and Dixon Jones has been recommended for approval, meaning it's highly likely to go ahead. What will it mean for the prime 13-acre site? Four hundred and forty-eight houses and flats, a sports centre, shops and health centre. And nothing to make the Prince's heart sink.
