The House of Commons Department of Facilities is embarking on a large-scale programme for the development of the buildings on its Northern Estate.

Under the programme, Norman Shaw North, Norman Shaw South, 1 Derby Gate, and 1 Parliament Street, all require refurbishment over the next 6 years in a potentially phased manner. This is due largely to the age and fragility of the buildings' Mechanical and Electrical services; poor environmental performance; and fire safety shortcomings. Additionally, these buildings are all listed Grade 1 or Grade 2* and several are of special historical significance.

The Northern Estate holds space equivalent to approximately 30,000 m2 NIA, of which, around 15,300 m2 requires refurbishment.
