The New Museums Site Development Framework Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)

Representation ID: 30697

As the Cavendish was built in recognition of the importance of the place in which science was carried out to its success, the loss of the building in part or in whole would mean historians and the wider cultural community lose the ability to understand how science of such high calibre was truly done.
