Pink Floyd fans know it best as that dark, hulking presence underneath the floating pig on the cover of the 1977 “Animals” album.
Londoners have come to know it as an eyesore — albeit, an historic one.
But the Battersea Power Station, out of commission since 1983, might be another step closer to a new life as a center for housing, office and retail space.
A whopping $8.2 billion redevelopment plan set forth by architect Rafael Vinoly has received approval by London mayor Boris Johnson, and the U.K.’s Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment. The proposal is now being reviewed by the city’s planning department.
If it goes forward, the plan would include 3,700 homes, 1.6 million square feet of office space, 500,000 square feet of retail space, and an environmentally-friendly carbon-free power plant built underground.
Battersea has to be one of the only decommissioned power plants in the world with its own Web site and newsletter.

EMI yesterday denied reports it’s looking to sell its iconic Abbey Road recording facility, where loads of renowned bands, including Pink Floyd, have recorded over the years.
Terra Firma, which has owned EMI since 2007, said in a release that it’s “holding preliminary discussions for the revitalization of Abbey Road with interested and appropriate third parties.”
However, it added, selling the studios to a third party is not its goal.
When news broke last week it caused a flurry of protests, including the formation of an organization calling itself Save Abbey Road Studios. The group, comprised of studio employees, musicians, and fans, put online a petition to build support to save the facility from redevelopment.
The petition is still online.
(Pictured: Floyd drummer Nick Mason and Rolling Stone Bill Wyman playing at Abbey Road Studios for the “All You Need Is Love” charity single last autumn. Read more about the single.)
