15. 92 Despite the sense that the “fanciful” Gothic of Teulon’s expressly architectural structure may have always felt more comfortable amid the hard urban enclosure of Parliament Square (it’s intended initial location), it has nevertheless found its place within the park, a point of quiet remove, close to the Embankment and anchored by the axis of the path and streetscape to the west. The compelling logic of this location perhaps also explains a reticence about relocating the memorial as part of the present proposals. However, this too presents a no less difficult challenge: that of safeguarding the setting of the existing structure whilst delivering the UKHMLC to its design brief. 15.93 This reconciliation is nevertheless pursued through demarking the immediate context of the existing structure, scribing the enclosure of the proposed precinct around it and softening the visual interface between the two with planting. Whilst this would seek to establish an honest and inevitably intimate new relationship between the two, it would not be achieved convincingly. The exuberance of Teulon’s structure would sit uncomfortably with the more sober and restrained modernity of the proposal. Moreover, the space such an expressive historic structure needs to be properly appreciated would be demonstrably curtailed. This sense of awkward stylistic juxtaposition and visual congestion would be most obviously understood from views within the UKHMLC complex, but would also have resonances in other views from the north down the Embankment path and the new sinuous route. Whilst these adverse effects would be partly mitigated by the more open and appreciative way the BM would be experienced when viewed from the Embankment walk, it would be impossible to escape the sense that the existing structure’s open setting would be materially compromised by the presence of the UKHMLC. It is agreed that the special interest of the BM and the contribution its setting makes to its significance represents a constituent element of that of the park. It follows as a matter of logic therefore that any harm to that significance in turn affects that of the RPG. 15.94 All these matters in respect of VTG as an RPG require drawing together. I conclude that the effect of the proposed development on the significance of VTG, a Grade II RPG, can be best summarised as follows: the primary cause of identified harm to the special interest and significance of the RPG would result from the adverse effect the proposals would have on the setting of the BM. This is compounded, to a very limited degree, by the potential harm to a limited number of trees within the park. However, this degree of harm must also be considered in the context of the sum of the significance of the RPG as a whole. Accounting for this calculation, and also allowing for 15
