"A plan to redevelop the derelict Oriental City site into homes and shops was approved at a council meeting last night.

"Brent Borough Council formally backed proposals by developer Development Securities to regenerate the seven-acre site at 399 Edgware Road, which closed in June 2008 and has fallen into disrepair.

"The development, which will create more than 800 jobs, will include a new 80,000sq ft Morrisons supermarket, 183 new houses and flats and new oriental and far eastern retail and restaurant space."
