Housing Secretary Angela Rayner has approved plans to demolish the art deco M&S Oxford Street building and redevelop the site.
Marks and Spencer’s Oxford Street store was built in 1920 – now it’s due to be torn down M&S has secured permission to demolish its flagship Oxford Street store and build it back nine storeys high after three years of delay. The art deco Orchard House has stood on a corner near Marble Arch for more than a century, since 10 years before M&S set up shop there in 1930. In 2021, the retail chain applied for permission from Westminster Council to knock it down and redevelop the site.
Writing on X, Mr Machin said: ‘We can now get on with the job of helping to rejuvenate the UK’s premier shopping street through a flagship M&S store and office space which will support 2,000 jobs and act as a global standard-bearer for sustainability. ‘At M&S, we share the Government’s ambition to breathe life back into our cities and towns and are pleased to see they are serious about getting Britain building and growing. We will now move as fast as we can.
