A mayoral development corporation has adopted a local plan to build 25,000 homes around a new major transport hub after getting the green light from a planning inspector.

Sadiq Khan’s Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) has published a planning policy framework for homes near High Speed 2’s Old Oak Common Station in west London, to “maximise the benefits” of the station’s connectivity. The new station, the largest in the UK, will become a major hub as it connects HS2, Great Western services and the newly-opened Elizabeth Line
