HL Deb 16 October 2001 vol 627 cc84-5WA
Viscount Simon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On what date planning permission was granted to develop the site of the former Bow Street Police Station. [HL534]

The Minister of State, Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (Lord Falconer of Thoroton)

I understand that a planning application to redevelop the former Bow Street Police Station was submitted to Westminster City Council in April this year. As it is currently in the process of considering the proposal for conversion of the existing building for use as a Police Museum and erection of a five-storey building for retail and office uses, no decision on it has yet been taken.
