CAMPAIGNERS have lost their High Court battle to save Elephant & Castle's run-down shopping centre, removing the last major obstacle to property company Delancey's plans to build an entirely new town centre, with a new London College of Communication campus and 979 apartments, including 119 for affordable rent. Criticism about the number of lower-cost homes and protests about the displacement of some of the small businesses run by the local Latin American community have delayed the project, which had a tortuous journey through the quest for planning permission but got the Mayor of London's go-ahead this time last year.
