Westminster City Council has granted planning permission, subject to signing a Section 106 agreement, to Northacre for the redevelopment of the former Met Police headquarters at New Scotland Yard.

The 1.7 acre site, known as Ten Broadway, will be redeveloped into six towers varying between 14 and 20 storeys high, and includes new residential, office and retail space and a generous new public sphere linking Victoria Street with Broadway and Dacre Street to the north.

Niccolo Barattieri di san Pietro, CEO of Northacre said: "Ten Broadway will be a landmark mixed-use scheme of one million square feet, nestled between the historic attractions of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. The development is set to complete in 2021 and will feature six architecturally striking buildings, which will each offer outstanding views. The design has been carefully considered to incorporate materials sympathetic to the sandstone and brick of the area.

"We are very proud to have been awarded planning permission and look forward to starting work on creating an exciting new destination for Westminster."
