Green light for another 200-units at Berkeley’s Paddington project

After all the wrangling, Qatari Diar's Project Blue Ltd has got the go-ahead to start building the first phase of its Chelsea Barracks scheme; works are due to get underway later this year.

Almacantar's 410,000 sq ft plans to replace the 24 storey Marble Arch Tower with two Rafael Viñoly-designed buildings were given the go-ahead by Planners last night.

It appears that developers are capitalising on the build-up of confidence in London's prime resi market, with reports of a massive boost in the number of units awaiting planning consent.
