Councillors are told demolition and new-build has lower whole-life carbon than refurbishing existing building

DSDHA is poised to get planning permission to redevelop a corner plot in Soho Square with a new mixed use scheme that would be one storey taller than the 1970s structure currently occupying the site.

Its proposals for Lothbury Property Trust would see 12 Soho Square and 3-7 Soho Street demolished and replaced with a seven-storey building featuring roof terraces, as well as ground-floor retail and restaurant space. The bulk of the new building would be for office use.

Westminster council planning officers are recommending the scheme for approval at a meeting tonight.
