The planning application for the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, made to Westminster City Council in December 2018 in the name of the Secretary of State, was called-in on 5 November 2019 by the then Housing Minister. A decision of July 2021 to grant planning permission for the memorial was quashed by the High Court on 8 April 2022.
This document sets out appropriate administrative arrangements to ensure that there is a functional separation between the persons bringing forward the proposal for development and the persons responsible for determining that proposal, and also applies in respect of the conduct of any litigation.
