Paul said getting rid of the Triyoga Centre, which is used by a host of
celebrities including actress Sadie Frost and TV chef Jamie Oliver and
his wife Jools, would be an "unforgivable mistake".
In a statement sent to the Camden New Journal, Sir Paul and Miss Shevell, who uses the centre, said: “Triyoga is as much a part of Primrose Hill as the hill itself. It is an invaluable resource to the local community. To think that it might be lost to the area is an unforgivable mistake.”
The yoga centre, which is currently housed in the Leeder House building, Erskine road, in the affluent North London area, could be turned into new offices and homes.
However, the planning application by Durley Investment Corporation, which is posted on the council's website, has prompted a number of objections.
Ms Frost, who lives nearby, said people travelled from “all over the city, country and even the world to visit the centre and its talented and renowned teachers”.
She added: "Not only is it a spiritual home to many people but it creates a lot of business for the area. It would be a real shame to lose Triyoga from Primrose Hill. We have to try and keep it here.”
Mrs Oliver, who also lives in the area said: "“I have been coming since my first pregnancy and have continued to take all my children there. It’s an invaluable resource. I’m very sad to hear this.”
Planning permission for an initial scheme has already been granted.
Durley's architects declined to comment but their planning application documents state: "The proposed refurbishment works will essentially extend the life of the buildings on this site and ensure it continues to provide a positive contribution to the conservation area and operate as a predominantly employment-led site for the foreseeable future.”
