‘Stolen sunlight’ row over £500m blocks to replace Belgravia flats where Camilla lived Jonathan Prynn
The Duke of Westminster’s family property company is embroiled in a “right to light” row with Belgravia residents over a £500 million development they claim will block out the sun.
Grosvenor has applied for consent to knock down five blocks of Fifties-built flats at Cundy Street where the future Duchess of Cornwall had a flat where she would meet up with Prince Charles in the early Seventies as well as Westminster council-run Walden House.
They would be replaced with a “high-quality new neighbourhood” of buildings up to 42 metres high.
