British Museum Gets Planning For Extension

Revised plans for a £135 million extension to the British Museum have been given the go-ahead.

Camden councillors voted by nine to three last night to grant planning permission for the revised proposal, which was unexpectedly thrown out in July.

"The building will ensure the British Museum can meet its fundamental obligations of preserving, researching, displaying and lending this unparalleled collection for future generations," she said. "The building will ensure the British Museum remains one of the world's leading museums, a civic space serving a local, national and international audience."

About £92 million has been raised towards the cost of the project, designed by Lord Rogers's practice, Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners.

The original scheme was rejected following arguments from the Bloomsbury Conservation Society, among others, that the development was excessively large and its appearance would be detrimental to neighbouring listed buildings.
