Decision on AHMM’s Shepherd’s Bush Market plans derailed by demonstrators

AHMM Shepherds Bush Nov 23 1

Members of the authority’s Planning and Development Control Committee were more than an hour into a meeting at which the proposals, drawn up for developer Yoo Capital, had been recommended for approval when demonstrators struck.
