Revisions follow public consultation into contested scheme

The backers of David Adjaye’s Holocaust Memorial have submitted a new planning application after being forced into a redesign, it has emerged.

The revisions, the details of which have not yet been released, include the design of the entrance pavilion, the entrance courtyard and the surrounding landscaping. The basement footprint has also been reduced.

The changes follow a round of public consultation into the contested scheme that would be built on a park beside the Thames and next to the Houses of Parliament. Ron Arad and Adjaye Associates won the project after an international design contest, along with landscape practice Gustafson Porter & Bowman.
