Pilbrow & Partners' proposals for the Marble Arch branch of Marks & Spencer

But listing bid could halt watershed demolition of Marble Arch flagship for new 10-storey complex

Plans to redevelop the flagship Oxford Street branch of Marks & Spencer are set to be approved by Westminster council tonight – if planning committee members follow officers’ advice.

Pilbrow & Partners’ proposals would see the demolition of M&S’s main Orchard House building, which dates back to the 1930s, and two other connected structures, to make way for a new 10-storey mixed-use building featuring retail space, office space, and café or restaurant space. An arcade would link Oxford Street to Granville Place at the north of the building.
