City of London Almshouses Update

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Minutes:

 Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services which provided an update on the City of London Almshouses in Lambeth and the eight Gresham Almshouses on the Estate. 

 

In respect of the pre-planning application for window replacement, officers had discovered that the original glass had been replaced after World War 2 and the ‘Rogers’ windows had been retro-fitted.  A further fire risk assessment had been undertaken and there had been 15 letters from residents in support of double glazing.  Members noted that this information, along with a heritage statement would be included in the application, to be submitted in the next 4-6 weeks.  Members also noted that it was likely to be heard by the full Planning Committee and not decided under delegated authority.  Finally, the tender was currently with City Procurement and would be presented to the next meeting of the Housing Management and Almshouses Sub Committee.

 

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
