Report of the Director of the Built Environment

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment seeking approval to commence work on the 80 Fenchurch Street development.

A Member asked whether servicing vehicles for the scheme using Northumberland Alley would also be using Crutched Friars, as there had been recent capacity issues on Crutched Friars, particularly with regard to parking bays. The Member asked that Crutched Friars be taken into consideration when undertaking consultation, as noisy deliveries had also been an issue, and it was vital to keep stakeholders on Carlisle Avenue and Northumberland Alley informed and engaged during the consultation process. The Director of the Built Environment responded that consultation would be undertaken before starting work on the scheme, which was still in the design phase.

RESOLVED – That the Streets & Walkways Sub-Committee agree:

i)          Approval to commence the project;

ii)         Approval to recover existing shadow code staff costs from the received £40,000 design and evaluation sum;

iii)        Delegation of authority to the Director of the Built Environment to approve the start of work (Gateway 5); and

iv)       Delegation of authority to the Director of the Built Environment to approve budget adjustments within the approved total project budget amount.
