The set up and removal of the temporary track hosting Formula E could take nearly a month when the event returns in July, according to plans submitted to Wandsworth Borough Council.

Wandsworth Times:

Plans for the track set up submitted by Formula E

The council's community services overview and scrutiny committee approved the return of the electric car racing event to the Grade II listed Victorian park in November despite protests outside the council offices.

The decision was taken to full council in December and passed again.

On December 23, Formula E submitted its planning application to host the E village, track and media centre, among other structures in the park, with the set up beginning on June 16 and the park returned to normal by July 12.

The park will be closed, bar the top corner and the riverside walk, with restricted access to accredited people, from 12pm on July 1 until 6.30am on July 6.

The application estimates set up will take 10 days and dismantling five days, with deliveries and vehicle movement limited to between 7am and 7pm.

The floorspace of the application is 13,543 sq m.

The application also makes promises that noise levels will be reduced throughout the event, with more in-ear headphones on offer to reduce the number of PA speakers needed.

Music will be limited to the E village area in the centre of the park and noise will be monitored to provide "real-time data" of noise levels.

Noise coming from helicopters throughout the 2015 event was cited as a concern by those against the event.

The application said: "A helicopter is used in support of the TV broadcast of the event, highlighting the location to the worldwide viewers.

"During the 2015 event a number of public complaints were received in respect to the noise of the low-flying helicopter used in this way and it is therefore the intention to significantly reduce the flying time of this helicopter and to reconsider the flight plan in terms of altitude and path."

Sound protection will be provided to Battersea Zoo, as it was in 2015.

The Friends of Battersea Park is one of many groups which has maintained its opposition to the event, as well as the Battersea Park Action Group and several residents' groups, which formed specifically to protest the event.

A spokesman for the Battersea Park Action Group said the application was a "disgrace".

In December, Wandsworth Council welcomed the return of Formula E to the park, saying it would help fund improvements.

Community services spokesman Councillor Jonathan Cook said: "It is important that at a time when town hall budgets are under severe pressure we explore all possible avenues to help generate extra funds that can pay for these frontline services and also help us keep council tax bills at an affordable level for the poorest and most vulnerable in our community.

"We worked very closely with Formula E and its contractors to ensure that the park was absolutely protected and that people could continue to safely enjoy the park when the race infrastructure was being put in place around its perimeter road.

"And we are confident that the important lessons we have learned will mean that next year’s event is even better than this years."
