Council's planning committee vote unanimously to reject plan for memorial and learning centre to be built next to Parliament. When considering the size of the Cenotaph, isn't this a good decision?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.In my opinion this monument is an ugly eyesore and the holocaust victims deserve something much better. Its intended location is part of a world heritage site, which is legally protected and I don't see why it has to be in London. Wouldn't a better site be part of the National memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire?
it doesn't look so terrible. There's nothing special about the gardens, though the children's playground may be useful. There are other memorials there - one to the ending of slavery (the conical one in the background), where Britain did play a significant role, and one to the burghers of Calais, which is by Rodin but otherwise not very historically significant.
But I'm not sure why the government promised to build a Holocaust memorial in central London at all (would Golders Green be more appropriate?)

"The following year, 2000, the final phase of the Southwark redevelopment was completed. The development included the installation of the museum's Holocaust Exhibition which was opened by the Queen on 6 June 2000. This was the first permanent exhibition dedicated to the Holocaust in a UK museum; its development had taken five years at a cost of £5 million."
