§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans the Crown Estate Commissioners have for the redevelopment of the Diorama; and what representations he has received from those opposed to the scheme.
§ Mr. MacGregorI understand that the Crown Estate Commissioners have made a planning application to redevelop the Diorama. Their intention is to restore and preserve the remaining original features whilst converting much of the interior to high quality residential accommodation. Provision will be made for an exhibition area, with public access, and two proposed atria will give a view of part of the interior of the building.
I have not received any representations on the Commissioners' proposals.
