The Restoration and Renewal Programme – The strategic case • The current PoW was re-built over a 30 year period following a fire in 1834, which destroyed most of the estate. Since the post war era, the PoW has not undergone any major restoration or renewal. The strategic case for change (as recorded in the Preliminary Strategic Business Case of Oct 2012) is as follows: • Condition and risk – ‘The PoW is reaching the point where its condition is deteriorating, risks are growing and partial patching and mending interventions are no longer sufficient. Fundamental renovation can no longer be avoided.’ • Asset protection – ‘A fundamental requirement is for the PoW to remain safe from fire (which destroyed its predecessor), water damage, security threats, decay and dilapidation. This is the overwhelming driver for modernisation.’ • Decent standards of accommodation – ‘As a working institution, “Parliament in the PoW” has to provide decent standards of accommodation for all those who work within it, or visit as citizens, as school children on educational trips or as witnesses to Parliamentary business, and the building has to support the modern ways in which Parliaments work with informal as well as formal meetings, digital information and mobile devices.’ • UK brand and reputational image – ‘As a visitor attraction, whether for UK or international tourists, enthusiasts for democracy or specialists in the Victorian and medieval heritage, the PoW is part of the UK brand, instantly recognised and appreciated around the world.’ • Difficulty of combining renovation with ongoing occupation – ‘This (2012) study has reviewed the context in which the PoW was created and the way in which its use as the home of the UK Parliament has evolved. It has also reviewed the current condition of the PoW and the backlog of maintenance work that has built up over a long period of time, in part because of the way in which the PoW has been managed, but above all because of the great difficulty of carrying out fundamental renovation work on the inside of the PoW while Parliament remains in continuous occupation.’ The Programme Objectives • In response to the Strategic Case, the Programme Board endorsed (February 2014) five Programme Objectives for the Programme, which are summarised in the table below. Table E1: Programme Objectives Programme Objectives 1) Allow the business of Parliament to continue uninterrupted, mitigate any adverse operational impact, and reduce risk over the longer term 2) Accommodate the needs of a 21st Century Parliament 3) Address existing building structure, fabric and service issues 4) Preserve and protect the PoW’s status as a Grade I listed building and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (for the foreseeable future) 5) Deliver value for money for the taxpayer, generating a range of economic benefits Source: IOA Team analysis Independent Options Appraisal • The core objective of the Independent Options Appraisal is for the Consultant to deliver to the Client an independently produced, costed, options appraisal of the Scenarios, in order to enable Parliament to reach a well founded decision in principle on the means of restoring and renewing the PoW, whilst maintaining business continuity; and to pave the way for an outline business case (OBC) that conforms to public sector good practice as set out in the HM Treasury Green Book. Important assumptions • Full details of the assumptions used for the IOA can be found within Volume 2 Appendix E.7 of this Final Report. Four of the most important assumptions are summarised below: • The strategic case for change, as set out in the ‘Pre feasibility study and Preliminary Strategic Business Case’ dated October 2012 is based upon a potential scope of work defined by the Client ProgrammeTeam and not by the Independent Options Appraisal team; • The scope associated with each Outcome Level of the programme works has been derived from Client consultation and documentation. The IOA team supported the reconfiguration of Outcome Levels A-C, which have been agreed by the Programme Board; • The assumed start date of the construction works is Q2 2020. Our financial, and schedule metrics are based on this date, however if this commencement date is not realised (i.e. delays occur), our analysis and outputs will need rebasing; and • All Scenarios have been financially analysed and compared over a 60 year period as per HMT Green Book Guidance, with a fixed commencement date of Q2 2014 4 of 250 Palace of Westminster – Restoration and Renewal Programme 1. Executive summary | 1.1 Introduction Final Report – 08 September 2014 1.1 Introduction The Strategic Case for the Programme reflects the need to address the current condition of the Palace, asset risks such as fire and flood, security threats, the need to improve accommodation and to protect image and reputation. Comparative scale • The PoW is an intensely used ornate Victorian heritage, UNESCO World Heritage, Grade I listed building located in central London. There are no other single built assets offering direct comparisons. However, in order to obtain a sense of comparable scale, elemental comparisons can be extracted from the British Museum and the Ministry of Defence Main Building as both are of similar size and listed building status to the PoW. The British Museum includes a mixture of public and private areas and is a focal point for UK. It also provides visitor tours and educational outreach similar to that of the PoW. Other facilities with a comparable internal floor area to the PoW include the HSBC tower in Canary Wharf (i.e. 100,000 sq. m, albeit on 46 levels).A more detailed comparison matrix can be found within section three (Volume one) of the main body of the report. IOA Scenarios • The IOA adopts a Scenario based approach to analysis. The Scenarios are a product of (a) a potential Programme Outcome Level (driven by delivered scope and specification) and (b) the potential delivery Option needed to meet the prescribed Outcome Level • Outcome Levels can be summarised as follows (Outcome Levels are cumulative): • Outcome Level A: Ensures compliance with legislation; maintain World Heritage and Grade 1 listing status; Repair or replace systems on a like for like basis to contemporary standards of design and quality, optimising costs and benefits over full system lifecycles. This outcome will meet built environment standards expected for public building; • Outcome Level B: As for A but additionally; Meets any additional built environment policy objectives stated by the Houses; Provide facilities to meet the stated objectives of both Houses (such as inclusion, outreach and education); Defined improvements to amenities within the constraints of the present design; Future proofing of infrastructure and provision for change to the current occupation where the requirement can be only loosely anticipated, over an indefinite period; and • Outcome Level C: As for A and B but additionally Significant defined improvements e.g. high performance and long life cycles appropriate to each system; Defined improvements to the amenities within the constraints of the present design. • Delivery Options can be summarised as follows: • Option 1 (enabled): A rolling programme of phased works over a significantly prolonged period of years but still working around the continued use of the PoW. Option 1 as originally defined could not meet the Programme Objectives. Key operational constraints were removed or reduced to generate an Enabled Option 1 (E1) for comparison purposes. This would include the adoption of longer Parliamentary recesses, over many years.

As well as the Committee decisions, we have also received the report of the reactive monitoring mission sent to both sites in December 2011. Its relevant findings, conclusions and recommendations are noted in the appropriate place. Because of the great degree of overlap of issues between the two sites and their respective Committee decisions, we have combined the two reports in this letter. Where the response is common to both reports, the answer is provided only in the report on the Tower. Each report is structured according to the format provided by the Centre. The clauses of the World Heritage Committee decision are given in bold and indented. The response of the state party is not indented and does not use bold type. The UK Government takes its responsibilities under the World Heritage Convention very seriously and is fully committed to protecting, conserving and presenting UK properties on the World Heritage List. In recent years, there has been significant progress in improving protection for those properties and transmitting their outstanding values to future generations.

    The Houses of Parliament The British Parliament sits in the Building which is called the Palace of Westminster. It’s also called the Houses of Parliament because there are two Houses: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. You can go in the buildings , if you make arrangement. The palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to other government buildings in Whitehall. The Palace dates from medieval times. On November 4, 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes was found in a Palace cellar. He was about to set fire to some barrels of gunpowder. His capture is celebrated with bonfires and fireworks every year on November 5. In 1834, a fire destroyed most of the old Palace. Sir Charles Barry rebuilt it in a medieval style called Gothic. Jewel Tower The Jewel Tower in London is one of only two surviving sections of the medieval royal Palace of Westminster. It was built in approximately 1365 to house the treasures of Edward III and its alternative name was the "King's Privy Wardrobe". Westminster Hall Westminster Hall, the oldest existing part of the Palace of Westminster, was erected in 1097. The Hall has a huge wooden roof decorated with carved George IV coronation banquet angels. If has been used for Royal banquets and State trials. Victoria Tower Victoria Tower is the tallest (98.5m) square tower at the south-western end of the Palace. Now it is home to the Parliamentary Archives. Millions of government documents are kept here.

  • HC Factsheets - General Series No 11
    THE PALACE OF WESTMINSTER HC Factsheets - General Series No 11 The Palace of Westminster - the home of the Houses of Parliament - is an internationally famous building. This Factsheet gives information about the building itself - its history, construction, dimensions etc - not about the procedures of Parliament, which can be found in other Factsheets in the Legislation and Procedure series. THE SITE AND ITS The site of the Houses of Parliament was known in early ROYAL ASSOCIATIONS mediaeval times as Thorney, the island of briars. It was a low, marshy area; the River Thames being much wider and shallower than at present. Two tributary rivers entered it from the north bank: a little further upstream was the Horse ferry - at low tide a shallow ford. There were positive considerations for choosing this fen as a site for a Royal Palace. It was sufficiently far from London (with whose citizens Kings sometimes found themselves in disagreement), adjacent to the river for ease of transport of people and goods, and next to the great church refounded by Edward the Confessor - indeed, it is said that Thorney had been a royal residence and a religious site in the reign of King Canute. During the construction of the first Abbey building, Edward also set up residence in Thorney, to an area generally to the east of the Church. Although nothing remains of this Saxon palace, it was Edward’s residence here that directly gave rise to the present location of Parliament, and also to the division of the capital - which is still effective today - into the trade and business centre, the City, and the administrative area, based upon Thorney, which became known as Westminster - the church in the West.

    44 Park of Ages FAR MORE THAN JUST AN URBAN RETREAT, HYDE PARK IS A LIVING ARCHIVE OF BRITISH CULTURE AND HISTORY AMANDA FOREMAN IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUMS IMPERIAL WAR T!"$" '$" "%,!- $).'* /'$01 %( L)(2)(, but only one so exceeds its original pur- pose as to inhabit a place in the consciousness of Great Britain. To walk through Hyde Park is to become immersed in a visual encyclopedia containing the cultural records of two millennia. Despite the changes wrought by time, the park remains one of the most important repositories of national identity. Here, along avenues of ancient trees, among monuments to the great and the lost, in the landmarks built by previous gen- erations, survive the tangible memories of Britain’s past. Though not always obvious or easily decoded, their e3ect on every passerby is nonetheless profound, a reminder that no exact line divides history from the present: our perception of each forms and shapes the other. The boundaries of Hyde Park did not happen by accident. The lanes of tra4c thundering past Speakers’ Corner, in the northeastern part of the park, grew out of two Roman roads that intersected near the stream called the Eya-burn (the Tyburn). One, the Via Trinobantia, crossed from the south to the east coast of England, enabling the swift movement of centurions during times of English rebellion. Today the road takes shoppers from Bayswater to Oxford Street, the harsh trumpets of war replaced with the siren call of commerce. Heading in the other direction from Edgware Road to Park Lane was Watling Street, one of the longest and most important communica- tion routes in Roman Britain.
