<p>Extensive information about the design of the proposed Holocaust Memorial and Learning
Centre was considered at the Planning Inquiry in October 2020 and remains publicly
available on Westminster City Council’s website. The additional detail requested is
set out in the table below and to provide further assistance and to illustrate the
answers I am placing the three source documents in the Library:</p><ul><li><em>Gross
Internal Area (GIA) & Building Area Breakdown Schedule </em>which shows the area
in square metres of every internal space within the proposed Learning Centre, the
Entrance Pavilion and the Café/Kiosk.</li><li><em>Park Area Diagram rev 2</em> which
shows both the size of Victoria Tower Gardens and the area taken by the Holocaust
Memorial above ground within the park.</li><li><em>Playground Area Adjustment</em>
which shows the boundaries and areas of the current playground and proposed reconfigured
playground. It also shows the area between the Spicer Memorial in its proposed new
location and the Holocaust Memorial’s entrance pavilion. This area would provide circulation
space for all park users between the boundary of the reconfigured playground and the
Memorial’s Entrance Pavilion.</li></ul><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Question</p></td><td><p>Answer</p></td><td><p>Source</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>The
