To include the BBC television studios, control rooms, dressing and transmitter rooms, telecine area, tower offices and transmission tower."

SOUTH EAST WING ONLY!
ReplyDeleteIf the south east wing is taken out of the equation, there is some bits of Alexandra Palace left that is of national importance (notably the theatre. But, there is nothing of international importance, let alone anything that would qualify for UN World Heritage status.
The Proposal put to the Trust Board last Thursday relates to the South East wing of Alexandra Palace, containing the TV studios, which comprises only about 10% of the total area.
In this limited goal, the South East wing, has a real chance of qualifying. The precedent is the Grimeton radio station near Varberg Sweden.
Or course even if just a part of AP gained UNESCO world heritage status, there would be a reflection on the whole as the Studios are inseparable from the whole building.
