Public inquiry starts on Tuesday into proposals for 90-year-old shop, which campaigners oppose
Selfridges’ new owners are backing plans by Marks & Spencer to demolish and redevelop its Oxford Street store, with a planning inquiry into the controversial proposals beginning this week.
The two-week inquiry, which starts on Tuesday in Westminster, will pit M&S and its Oxford Street neighbour Selfridges against environmental campaigners and historic building fans, who argue that the 90-year-old landmark store should be refurbished rather than knocked down.
