Plans to demolish M&S Oxford Street put on hold

A plan to demolish the Marks and Spencer store at the Marble Arch end of Oxford Street has been called in by the government for a review. There has been growing opposition to the plans by Pilbrow & Partners to demolish the old M&S store and replace it with a smaller store and more offices, with the objections focused mainly on the impact of the demolition of the 1930s corner building on heritage, and the whole scheme on its carbon emissions impact.
