To advise and inform the SAC-CC on the principles of a new storage building located in the West Yard of Alexandra Palace in advance of presenting the proposal to the Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust Board.

Russell Eacott, Interim Project Director for the East Wing Restoration Project gave a presentation on the principles of a new storage building in the West Yard and asked for comments from the Committee in advance of the proposal being presented to the Alexandra Park and Palace Board at their meeting on 12 April 2016.

NOTED the following discussion points and comments:

-           Concerns were raised over the timetable of this and the HLF East Wing Restoration Project, and the potential for loss of storage space while the West Yard was under construction.  Russell Eacott explained that the scheduling of the project would delay the handover of the West Yard area to the contractor (who would work on other areas in the meantime) to allow for the construction of the storage building and eliminate the need for off-site storage.

-           It was felt that a function space deflected from the HLF project, and that particular area of the Palace was an isolated area and it did not make sense to have a function room in this area when there were potentially other areas in the Palace which were not currently used, and could be brought into use.  Russell Eascott responded that the provision of a function space would establish an income generating element to the proposal.

-           With regards to sustainability, it was commented that the Palace should use this as an opportunity to build a structure which had a minimal economic impact, was as efficient as possible, and could be an exemplar structure for Haringey.

Members also commented on the financial implications of the proposal, and the Chair reminded Members that the remit of the SAC-CC was to provide comments on the planning proposal.  All other aspects would be considered by the Board.

The general consensus of the SAC-CC was that this was an attractive proposal, which would be welcomed.

RESOLVED that the comments made by the Joint Statutory Advisory Committee and Consultative Committee be provided to the Alexandra Park and Palace Board at the meeting on 12 April 2016.
