Marks & Spencer has been given the green light to take Michael Gove’s decision to block its plans to demolish its flagship store at Marble Arch to judicial review in the latest twist in the long running saga.
The High Court today approved the retailer’s application for judicial review of the Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Secretary’s “senseless decision” in July to refuse consent for a new development at the site of its 1930s Oxford Street shop next to Selfridges.
