RESOLVED, that – Members ratify the City Arts Initiative’s recommendations in relation to the proposals as follows:

1. City of London Corporation - Festival Garden Entrance Sculptures: approve subject to planning permission, access requirements being met, and a sufficient maintenance fund being established

2. Westbrook Gallery – Lions Trail 2021: approve subject to final permissions being granted by Highways and relevant public liability insurance being put in place by the applicant

3. Natalie Robinson - Reflection (Totally Thames): approve subject to relevant authorisations being granted from officers managing Walbrook Wharf and the additional recommendations outlined below.

4. DP9 – The Garden of Floating Words: approve subject to maintenance being funded by the owners of the sculpture.

5. Keats Foundation - Keats Memorial Bust: approve in principle subject to final designs being approved by delegated authority and a satisfactory maintenance fund being raised by the applicants.

6. Culture Mile and Brookfield - Play Totems: noting that the application is privately funded and will likely be installed on private land and would therefore not require your Committee’s approval but, delegating authority to the CAI to approve final visuals should any part of the installation appear on the public highway.
