Questions on matters relating to the work of the committee Minutes: Re-development of Queensbridge House/target completion date for the Riverside Walkway around Queenhithe – In response to a question Members were informed that the Queensbridge House development was to be built in two phases, firstly the southern part and secondly the northern part.
The development lease for the southern part had been signed and demolition had started and was due to finish by April 2016. Construction on the southern part, where the Riverside Walkway was, could then commence and should be finished by mid-2018.
The northern section was held up by the TfL dispute and the High Court heard the case at the end of October and the judge is expected to provide his judgement in early December 2015. Members noted that a negotiated deal on this particular site was unlikely to be agreed with TfL before the result is known. If the Corporation managed to win the main argument then only a small part of the development would be impacted and the Developer could make a minor amendment to the current scheme to avoid the TfL claim. |
