Agenda item

Sky Garden

In response to a request for an update on the improvements to Sky Garden, the Chief Planning Officer and Development Director advised that, as Members would have observed during their last visit to Sky Garden, significant improvements had been made to the layout, signage, planting and seating. This had greatly improved the general visitor experience to levels 36 and 37. The visitor arrangements and numbers to Sky Garden exceeded the requirements of the S106 Agreement and the introduction of walk-ups, where booking was not required, in non-peak hours had been a very welcome addition to the arrangements.

The Director was of the view that the changes made mitigated concerns and no further steps were proposed. The Director’s comments were noted.
