We have already debated risk, but inevitably security should be considered in any impact assessment. There are bound to be security officers, probably armed, patrolling the gardens. What will be the impact on people enjoying or trying to enjoy the gardens as the covenant over this precious piece of land intended? What will be the impact for local residents and businesses? The area immediately surrounding Victoria gardens is full of listed buildings of all grades—indeed, Lord North Street still retains its original gas lamps. What will be the impact on these precious pieces of our inheritance? Has the impact of restoring the Palace of Westminster, as I mentioned earlier, been considered? It is a project that will take years and should be taken into consideration.
