Westfield are testing the water with a plan to expand their Shepherd's Bush site east/west and north/south. They're talking about a £1bn "regeneration plan" (i.e. not all their own money) to create 1,700 homes and another 500,000 sq ft of shops.
People with reasonable memories will know that Westfield do not always move fast. The W12 complex was originally due to open in 1994, but only made it in 2009. But this new masterplan for the area, developed by Allies and Morrison (who brought you the Media Centre and the Broadcast Centre) must put a question mark in the minds of would-be purchasers of BBCTelevision Centre. Can White City really generate enough punter interest for TWO developments with serious residential aspirations at the same time ?
