Westminster City Council has postponed considering proposals for Paddington Place, W2, after discussions with Great Western Developments led the developer to revise the plan, including the height of the tower.
The decision means the application will no longer be considered on 8 March by planning chiefs and will be unveiled at a later date.
The scheme aims to create a new “gateway” for the station and St Mary’s Hospital and includes improvements to the railway station, a new Bakerloo Line Tube station, offices, restaurants, new public piazzas and houses.
Leader of Westminster City Council Philippa Roe said: “I am delighted that we have been able to work together with the developer, this is a very positive step and will allow time for us all to bring forward a development that enjoys broader community support and that we jointly believe will deliver enormous benefits to Westminster and London. We remain committed to ensuring that all the benefits of the original scheme are retained in the revised plans.”
Sellar Property Group and GWD said: “We have always believed that successful development is a collaborative process, involving the developer, council and community and look forward to delivering a development in Paddington of which Westminster and its residents can be proud.”
