In June last year Gove, secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities, ordered a public inquiry into the plan to demolish and rebuild the retailer’s flagship store on the most famous of Britain’s high streets. The row over the shop on London’s Oxford Street has become a cause célèbre in the battle over the shape of redevelopments and the fate of Britain’s high streets. It is particularly galling given there are currently 17 approved and proceeding demolitions in Westminster and four on Oxford Street alone making it unfathomable why M&S’s proposal to redevelop an aged and labyrinthian site that has been twice denied listed status has been singled out for refusal. Stuart Machin, the boss of M&S, accused Gove of “playing to the gallery” with the decision which he said was a “short-sighted act of self-sabotage” the effects of which would be “felt far beyond the West End”. Today, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said Gove disagreed with the recommendation from inspectors to approve the plans and had “decided to refuse permission”. The Communities Secretary launched a public inquiry into proposals to flatten the 1929 art deco building and replace it with a much larger 10-storey retail and office block last year after the plans had received support from local authorities. Marks & Spencer has been refused permission to demolish and rebuild its flagship shop on London’s Oxford Street after opposition from Michael Gove, in a win for campaigners concerned about the carbon footprint of redevelopment. 13.20 BST M&S refused permission to demolish and rebuild flagship Oxford Street store ![]()
