Resolution from the Property Investment Board

To receive a resolution from the Property Investment Board concerning London City Airport.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a resolution from the Property Investment Board requesting that the Policy and Resources Committee in relation to London City Airport, urging that the City of London Corporation reiterate its support for the redevelopment plans and encourage them to work with the relevant authorities to restart the project.

 

During discussion, several Members expressed the importance of the City Corporation doing what it could to support access to the City for businesses, especially given the demands of the recovery from the impact of COVID, and noted the resolution’s proposal was consistent with the Committee’s previous position. However, some hesitancy was also expressed in view of the desire not to intervene in a commercial decision for City Airport. Following debate, it was agreed that the Policy Chair and Planning Chair should discuss the most appropriate way to express the City’s support, noting the comments made.

 

RESOLVED: That the Chair of the Policy and Resources Committee and the Chair of the Planning and Transportation Committee be asked to determine a suitable expression of support.
