Court of Appeal throws out Shell Centre appeal

摘要

Campaigner George Turner has lost his battle to halt the £1.2bn Shell Centre development in central London, write Elizabeth Hopkirk and Tim Clark. The Court of Appeal ruled that the planning inspector who scrutinised the plans for the project by Squire & Partners showed no bias in coming to his decision regarding the controversial development on the South Bank. The ruling by the Court of Appeal means that the final barrier in the way of the development has now been cleared.
