A huge office block planned for Hammersmith has been shelved due to the credit crunch.

The glass building, nicknamed the Strawberry, was to have been built by Development Securities in Hammersmith Grove.

But the company has said it cannot get finance for the 30,000 square metre building.

Brackenbury Residents Association opposes the Strawberry and membership secretary Rosemary Petit said: "It is good news as far as it goes.

'"But we are not out of the woods yet, because the money could still be found for this development."
