Agenda item

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment which provided an update of progress to date on the Mark Lane public realm enhancement project. Officers informed the Committee that an application for redevelopment of 51/54 Fenchurch Street was unlikely to be forthcoming; as a result the project would now be progressed to Phase 2 and the underspend from Phase 1 reallocated.

In response to a query from a Member, Officers confirmed they would investigate possible locations for tree reinstatement and the inclusion of retractable bollard on the access to Fenchurch Street.

RESOLVED – That the Sub-Committee:

a)    authorises the proposed budget plan summarised in Appendix 2, table D to complete Phase 1 works and further design appraisal to develop Phase 2, totalling £76,357; to be funded from the 64-74 Mark Lane Section 106 Agreement; and

b)    agrees that any unspent Phase 1 funds would be reallocated to implement Phase 2.
