A row has erupted between the mayor of London and the head of Britain’s largest used car dealership over plans to build 10,000 homes in west London.
Tony Mendes, managing director of Cargiant, said plans to build thousands of homes in and around its 46-acre base at Old Oak Common were “unviable, unaffordable and undeliverable”.
Cargiant is the biggest private landowner within the Old Oak Common regeneration area, which is London’s biggest redevelopment project. The 100-acre area of railway tracks, industrial estates and derelict land is the proposed site of 24,000 homes and developments.
