Background Royal Mail obtained planning permission to redevelop part of Mount Pleasant in 2015. The planning permission included work taking place on the mail centre itself, in addition to a mixed-use residential led development including new homes, shops, offices, restaurants and public space in two parcels: Phoenix Place and Calthorpe Street. What work is Taylor Wimpey Central London undertaking? Taylor Wimpey Central London will be developing the two parcels at Phoenix Place and Calthorpe Street. Construction work will commence on Phoenix Place later this year. What work is Royal Mail undertaking? Work has now started to separate Royal Mail s operational site, which will continue to operate as usual, from the two parcels that Taylor Wimpey Central London will be developing. The works are scheduled to comprise three phases: An initial phase is underway, which will focus on the internal refurbishment of specific areas within the mail centre building. This is scheduled to be completed in May 2018. Work will also commence on the office site of the building along Farringdon Road, to create a new reception entrance for Royal Mail staff. The second phase will commence in May 2018 and is scheduled for completion in June 2019. This will comprise works in the basement parking, piling and some structural work. The final phase is expected to be completed in Spring 2021. A key element of these works will be the construction of a roof over the existing loading docks to provide visual and acoustic separation between the operations of Royal Mail and the development parcels. This work is being managed by Blue Sky Building on behalf of Royal Mail Group.
