Project of construction of a park of 50 million pounds for the museum of the Holocaust, qualified as "impracticable" by the royal charity

Plans to tear up a historic park next to Parliament and build a Holocaust museum in its place have been described as "impracticable" by a royal charity that manages the site.

The government chose Victoria Tower Gardens as the venue for the new museum and monument, which will be provided by Westminster City Council.

But last night, the royal parks – which deal with the park – refused to support the plan.

In an overwhelming letter to the Planning Department of City Council, Darren Woodward, Director of Royal Parks Estate, said that the gardens of the Victoria Tower were "not an appropriate place," adding that the museum would "dominate park and eclipse existing memorials of national significance in their context.

Current memorials include a statue of Emmeline Pankhurst suffragette and the Buxton Memorial to the abolition of slavery.

Proponents of the project say their presence makes it an ideal place for the new memorial. The Imperial War Museum has previously stated that it should house the Holocaust museum.
