It comes after the retailer's plans to demolish its Art Deco Marble Arch store were blocked.
M&S wants to demolish and rebuild its Oxford Street store, which dates back to 1929Marks & Spencer has launched a legal challenge against a decision to prevent it bulldozing and redeveloping its flagship central London store.
The retailer wants to replace the Art Deco building at 458 Oxford Street with a new shop and office block., but it was later recalled by the government.Sacha Berendji, operations director at M&S, said: "We have done this because we believe the secretary of state wrongly interpreted and applied planning policy, to justify his rejection of our scheme on grounds of heritage and environmental concerns.
"It is hugely disappointing that after two years of support and approvals at every stage, we have been forced to take legal action to overcome a misguided agenda against our scheme, and we will be challenging this to the fullest extent possible.
"We have been clear from the outset that there is no other viable scheme - so, after almost a century at Marble Arch, M&S is now left with no choice but to review its future position on Oxford Street on the whim of one man. It is utterly pathetic."
