Oxford Street revamp plan gets the green light despite criticism

摘要

Plans by AHMM to redevelop a run of shops on Oxford Street and replace them with a single eight-storey building have been given the green light despite the objections of Historic England. The scheme, created for King Sloane Properties and Element Capital, will demolish all but the facades of four buildings on the south side of the shopping street, but preserve more of the grade Ⅱ-listed No 35, which was buil in 1909. Two further shops - Nos 41 and 43 - would be demolished in their entirety, the main grounds for government heritage adviser Historic England's objection to the proposals.
