LONDON-Capital & Counties Properties PLC cleared an approvals hurdle Wednesday for its master-planned redevelopment of the Earls Court and West Kensington Opportunity Area here. The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham’s council gave its blessing to the plans submitted by Capco’s EC Properties unit, subject to conditions and a legal agreement for the redevelopment of 57 acres of land in a project that will cost an estimated $12.9 billion.
