Report of the Director of the Built Environment

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment concerning public realm works around Bernard Morgan House, seeking approval to enter into a Section 278 agreement with the developer and for funding to proceed with design development and stakeholder engagement.

The Sub-Committee was advised that the project would be fully funded by the Section 278 agreement and provided an opportunity to implement recommendations from the Barbican and Golden Lane Strategy. The Chairman stressed the importance of continuing stakeholder engagement by both officers and the developer going forward.

a)    Authorise officers to enter into a S.278 agreement with the developer; and

b)    Approve the release of £35,000 in order to proceed with the evaluation process with a Gateway 3/4 Options Appraisal submitted in due course, under the Regular reporting route.
