WITHDRAWAL OF CLAPHAM JUNCTION PLANNING APPLICATION

The Metro Shopping Fund (a joint venture between Land Securities and Delancey) confirmed today that it has withdrawn its planning application for a major regenerative mixed-use development at Clapham Junction.

The Metro proposals, which had the full support of Network Rail and the Train Operating Companies, would have meant a much improved Clapham Junction station, a new bus interchange, improved public and circulation space around the station, 556 new homes, new shops and a cinema. Metro’s proposed improvements were designed to help revitalise the town centre and deliver a step change for Clapham Junction’s overloaded transport infrastructure.
