The new nine-storey development, which includes a smaller M&S store alongside a pedestrian arcade, offices, a café, and a gym, aims to revitalize the space.
Despite M&S celebrating their planning victory, the development has sparked controversy, with criticism surrounding the lengthy planning disputes and the potential loss of a historical landmark.
Henrietta Billings of Save Britain's Heritage warned that the demolition contradicts council net zero targets due to the significant energy used in the replacement process.
The decision to replace the long-standing flagship store at Marble Arch follows a ruling that criticized previous planning decisions, allowing M&S to proceed with their redevelopment plans.
