Agenda item

The Chief Planning Officer and Development Director and the Director of the Built Environment to be heard.

The Director of the Built Environment reported that the risks arising from Brexit would be a standard agenda item for all grand committees going forward. In future, it would take the form of a short written report.

The Director referred to issues around recruitment, procurement and supply – all of which were being dealt with at a corporate level as opposed to being specific to this Committee.

In terms of the continuing attractiveness of the City as a place for business, this work was being headed up by Economic Development with input from the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of Policy and Resources and of this Committee.

Finally, it was highlighted that MIPIM would be taking place just a fortnight ahead of the planned date for Brexit in March.
