Plans for a 拢1bn extension to Westfield鈥檚 shopping centre in west London have been given the green light by planners
Hammersmith and Fulham council has given the go-ahead to the extension of the shopping centre development, which includes
61,840 sq m of new retail space, as well as 8,170 sq m of space for restaurants and cafes; 2,065 sq m of office space; 3,500 sq m of leisure facilities; and 1,600 sq m of community space.
The scheme also includes 1,522 new homes across the site.
