Plans for the £400m redevelopment of Clapham Junction in south west London have been withdrawn after the joint venture behind the scheme faced opposition from the local authority.

Metro Shopping Fund, which comprises Land Securities and Delancey, submitted a planning application to the London Borough of Wandsworth for the mixed-use scheme in September last year. The project included two new entrances for Clapham Junction railway station capable of accommodating a 1.6 million increase in users expected by 2026, as well as a two-level pedestrian street with cafés and bars and a 1-acre (0.4-hectare) rooftop garden with restaurant and arthouse cinema.

But James Ritblat, chief executive of Delancey, has revealed that plans, which also included new public spaces and residential units, were withdrawn after the council withdrew its support for the development. Ritblat said: "We are all deeply disappointed and frustrated that, despite many years of close cooperation and support from Wandsworth, to ensure that our proposals met all of their objectives for the location and this very important transport hub, the Council has now seen fit to entertain a recommendation for refusal.

"We have invested significant resources to date, however in the absence of the Council's support at the last moment we have been forced to withdraw our application."
