Shoe Lane Quarter Public Realm Enhancements – Phase 2

The Court considered a Gateway 4c report concerning the Shoe Lane Quarter Public Realm Enhancement project, which involved a wide range of measures on the highway around the London Development Project at Shoe Lane. The intent of the project was to enhance the public realm on Stonecutter Street, Shoe Lane and Plumtree Court to provide an improved environment for the high number of workers, residents and visitors expected in the area. The key features of the project were:

·           enhancing provision for pedestrians by providing widened footways, trees and raised carriageways;

·           enabling access to the new building for people and vehicles;

·           providing a secure line of building protection measures on the footway

The Court was recommended to approve the continuation of the project at an estimated cost of £8,087,054, to be funded entirely from Section 278 and Section 106 contributions related to building projects in the area.

Resolved – That approval be given to the continuation of the project at an estimated cost of £8,087,054, to be funded entirely from Section 278 and Section 106 contributions related to building projects in the area.
