High court quashes plan for Holocaust memorial outside UK parliament

Charity brought case against government arguing planning permission process was flawed

The high court has overturned a government decision to build a national memorial to the Holocaust next to parliament, after an appeal by campaigners who argued the project was the right idea, wrong place".

Planning permission for the memorial and education centre was granted last year after a six-week public inquiry. The government had called in the decision from Westminster city council amid controversy over the scheme.
