Exclusive: Westminster council gave exemption for Hinduja brothers’ Old War Office development
The UK’s two richest people have been allowed to avoid planning rules that should have required them to build 98 affordable flats for key workers and low income workers at their new £1.2bn luxury development in London.
The Hinduja brothers, named by the Sunday Times as the wealthiest people in Britain with a £28.5bn fortune, won approval to develop the historic Old War Office near Downing Street into 85 luxury flats and a 120-room five-star Raffles hotel.
