Campaigners will have their application to block plans for a national Holocaust memorial to be built next to the Palace of Westminster heard at the High Court. London Historic Parks and Gardens Trust expects judges to review their appeal on Tuesday and Wednesday. Our campaign partner, @LDNGardensTrust will be in the High Court later this month to challenge the Government’s planning permission for construction in Victoria Tower Gardens. We have had some incredibly good news; we have been given leave to appeal against the Minister of Housings decision to approve the UK Holocaust Memorial. The Government has already committed that the Holocaust memorial will be free “in perpetuity” to visitors when it opens, putting it on the same footing as the UK’s most significant museums and monuments.
