Royal Mail Group Ltd., the U.K. postal service, won approval for a plan to turn a mail-sorting office near Battersea Power Station in southwest London into about 1,900 homes.
Wandsworth Council gave the 6-hectare (15-acre) development preliminary permission at a meeting yesterday after it gained the support of the borough’s planning committee. The approval is subject to a final legal agreement between Royal Mail and the local government body, as well as consent from London’s mayor.
