Agenda item

Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

N.B: - To be considered alongside a Non-Public Appendix at Agenda Item 24.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment recommending the repurposing of 39 spaces in London Wall Car Park for their use as a last mile logistics hub to be operated by Amazon Logistics.

A Member commented that she was aware that some residents used this Car Park and questioned whether this would still be possible should these proposals be approved. Officers assured the Member that this would still be possible as this arrangement would essentially use surplus capacity in the car park as there was no consistent, wider demand for these spaces at present.

RESOLVED – That Members agree to:

·         The repurposing of 39 spaces in London Wall Car Park for use as a last mile logistics hub, with the responsibility for the facility remaining with the Department of the Built Environment.

·         Lease the hub to Amazon Logistics subject to final agreement of the terms set out in the non-public appendix 1, with such terms to be agreed under delegated authority by the City Surveyor.

·         Approve the necessary enabling works subject to planning approvals, the cost of which would be covered by the operator.
