Bought support

Terry Farrell's £8 billion Earl's Court masterplan won outline approval last week - one redesign and more than a year after it was first submitted for planning. However, the 28-hectare mixed-use scheme to replace both exhibition centres, two housing estates and a train depot with 7,500 homes is facing new trouble. Campaigners who fought vociferously against the relocation of 760 council homes that stand in the way of the bulldozers have passed a dossier to the Metropolitan Police alleging council officers enticed tenants to support the regeneration and may have breached the Housing Act and be guilty of Misconduct in a Public Office, according to a report in the Fulham Chronicle.
