The HTVIA comprises Volume 3 of the Environmental Statement (ES) submitted for the application. 1.2 An application for planning permission (PP-00114/FULL) was submitted to Westminster City Council (‘the Council’) in December 2018 for: “Installation of the United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre including excavation to provide a basement and basement mezzanine for the learning centre (Class D1); erection of a single storey entrance pavilion; re-provision of the Horseferry Playground and refreshments kiosk (Class A1); repositioning of the Spicer Memorial; new hard and soft landscaping and lighting around the site; and all ancillary and associated works”. 1.3 During the consultation process, the proposals have evolved in response to consultee comments. In broad terms, the parameters of the Proposed Development remain the same as for the submitted scheme, however a number of revisions have been made. These are illustrated at Figures 1.1 and 1.2. 1.4 The design changes which may potentially have an effect upon heritage, townscape and visual receptors are: A revised design for the entrance pavilion; and Adjustments to the design of the Memorial courtyard. 1.5 Notwithstanding these material changes, the potential effects upon built heritage, townscape and visual receptors are broadly very similar to those identified as part of the submitted scheme, because the memorial as a whole retains the same overall form, as shown in the drawings accompanying this revised application, and the verified views at Section 2.0. Figure 1.1 Image showing the revised entrance pavilion from Lambeth Bridge steps © Montagu Evans LLP 2019 | United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre IntroDUCTION 5 1.6 The revisions to the Proposed Development also include internal changes at basement level. These changes will not affect the aforementioned receptors, and therefore are not described in our assessment. The character, functioning and appearance of the memorial would not change as a result of these modifications. 1.7 The HTVIA, and this further addendum, have been prepared by individuals of suitable qualifications in planning, urban design and heritage. Scope and purpose of this addendum 1.8 In light of the above design modifications, this addendum considers any potential change to the likely significant effects described Volumeat 3 of the ES, and should be read in conjunction with that volume. 1.9 Additionally, a diagram showing townscape character areas was erroneously omitted from Volume 3 of the ES; this should have been included at Figure 6.1 and 1.1.3 in Technical Appendix 1.1. This plan is included in this document at Figure 2.1. 1.10 Due to the scale and position of the entrance pavilion and courtyard, the experience of those elements of the proposals which are the subject of this addendum would be limited. Therefore, professional judgment has been used to select those built heritage, townscape and visual receptors which may experience a different effect from that identified in the HTVIA as a result of the change to the proposals. 1.11 The methodology for the assessment of effects remains the same as that outlined at Section 2.0 in Volume 3 of the ES. Figure 1.2 Image showing the Proposed Development from the south of Victoria Tower Gardens Built Heritage, Townscape and Visual Effect Assessment: Environmental Statement Addendum | April 2019 6 IntroDUCTION Policy Review 1.12 In writing this addendum, we have carried out a review of the relevant policy provisions and best practice guidance outlined in Section 3.0 of Volume 3 in the ES, to identify any which may have changed since the submission of the ES in December 2018. National Planning Policy Framework (2019) 1.13 Minor changes were made to the text of the NPPF and published on 19th February 2019. This does not affect our assessment. Westminster City Plan 2040 1.14 Consultation on the draft City Plan 2019-2040 closed on Friday 21st December 2018, and statutory Regulation 19 consultation is anticipated to take place in early 2019. The plan remains unadopted and therefore of limited weight and does not affect our assessment. Heritage Impact Assessment 1.15 In response to post-submission consultee comments, and for clarity, we also provide a synthesis of how the sections set out in our assessment relate to the stages of Heritage Impact Assessment (‘HIA’) as set out at Appendix 4 of the ICOMOS ‘Guidance on Heritage Impact Assessments for Cultural World Heritage Site Properties’. To be clear, this does not change our assessment of the impact of the Proposed Development on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage Site, and is intended to facilitate the reader’s clear understanding of how our assessment relates to the ICOMOS HIA framework. This is included at Section 4.0. © Montagu Evans LLP 2019 | United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre 2.0 // UNITEd KINGdoM HoLocaust MEMoRIAL ANd LEARNING CENTRE Addendum Built Heritage and Townscape Assessment 8 AddENdUM Built Heritage ANd TowNSCAPE ASSESSMENT 2.0 ADDENDUM BUILT HERITAGE AND TOWNSCAPE ASSESSMENT 2.1 In composing this addendum, we have carried out a review of the 2.10 Therefore, we consider that the overall effect of the Proposed Victoria Tower Gardens (grade II RPG) baseline to identify any heritage or townscape receptors which have Development on the Conservation Area would remainModerate 2.20 The new entrance pavilion would occupy a smaller area than the changed, or been designated, from those identified inSections 5.0 and Beneficial. submitted scheme and be lower in height.

  • Lambeth Bridge and the Location of the Southbound Bus Stop on Lambeth Palace Road Has Been Moved Back to Its Existing Location
    Appendix B: Likely journey time impacts following changes to the design post consultation Summary of changes from 2017 consultation Following consultation feedback in 2017 several turning movements have now been retained eastbound onto Lambeth Bridge and the location of the southbound bus stop on Lambeth Palace Road has been moved back to its existing location. The following turning movements are now allowed at all times of day for all vehicles: Millbank North to Lambeth Bridge and Millbank South to Lambeth Bridge. The shared pedestrian and cycle areas have been reviewed and removed where it is safe for cyclists to use the carriageway. Shared use remains between Millbank South and Horseferry Road. There is also a carriageway level cycle lane through the footway between Millbank North and Lambeth Bridge. These alterations to the design in response to consultation feedback have resulted in some changes to the modelled journey times. Please note journey times are not directly comparable to the 2017 consultation. This is due to the modelled area being extended to ensure all journey times changes are captured by the modelling assessment. The tables below compare future modelled journey times with and without the Lambeth Bridge scheme. Both models include demand changes associated with committed developments and population growth, and planned changes to the road network. This allows us to isolate other changes on the network and present the predicted impact of the Lambeth Bridge scheme. 39 Revised Journey Times: Buses Future Journey Time without

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1.1 Transport for London (TfL) have been consulted as part of the application process to seek planning permission for the proposed United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre (UKHMLC) to be located within Victoria Tower Gardens (VTG) in Westminster. 1.2 In their initial consultation response to Westminster City Council (WCC) dated 8th February 2019, TfL requested an unspecified amount of funding towards their proposed Lambeth Bridge upgrade scheme, stating ‘TfL have proposals to transform Lambeth Bridge creating signalised crossroads to create a safer environment for cycling and walking. S106 contributions will be required for these works’. Importantly the need for a contribution was not referred to or requested in the GLA Stage 1 statutory referral report of 4th March 2019 (CD5.14) despite TfL/GLA having full knowledge of the UKHMLC scheme proposals. TfL then followed up their initial consultation response to WCC with a further response on 25th September which highlighted a request for the contribution, stating ‘The suggested conclusion is that the proposals don’t significantly alter how pedestrians interact with Millbank and the existing infrastructure creates a healthy environment for all users. However, the increase in footfall associated with the development must be accommodated for. The Lambeth Bridge Safer Junction programme will enhance the area and a s106 contribution of £1m will be expected’.

The applicant The applicant is Barrett West London and the architect is GRID. Strategic issues The Mayor previously raised issues relating housing, urban design, inclusive design, and transport. These matters have now been largely resolved and the proposed application is, on balance, acceptable in strategic planning policy terms. The Council’s decision In this instance Westminster Council has resolved to grant permission. Recommendation That Westminster City Council be advised that the Mayor is content for it to determine the case itself, subject to any action that the Secretary of State may take, and does not therefore wish to direct refusal or direct that he is to be the local planning authority. Context 1 On 22 February 2012 the Mayor of London received documents from Westminster City Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses. This was referred to the Mayor under Category 1C of the Schedule to the Order 2008: 1C: “Development which comprises or includes the erection of a building… that is more than 30 metres high and is outside the City of London. “ 2 On 3 April 2012 the Mayor considered planning report PDU/2501a/01, and subsequently advised Westminster City Council that the application did not comply with the page 1 London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 79 of the above-mentioned report; but that the possible remedies set out in paragraph 80 of that report could address these deficiencies.
