John Cauldwell plans to turn 5 Audley Square car park into super-prime residential apartments and townhouses: “We’ll have this beautiful building, feature-rich, clad in Portland stone. It’s just so exciting from an aesthetic point of view to be in that privileged position to be able to change a part of Mayfair that has become ugly and run-down.”

John Caudwell, the philanthropist and founder of the mobile phone provider Phones4U, is calling on Westminster City Council to grant him planning permission for adding two new floors of flats to a seven-storey block he is planning to build, so that he can give the additional profits to charity. He estimates these could be as much as £100m.
