To consider the report of the Director of the Built Environment ‘100 Minories Phase Two: Public Realm enhancements to Crescent’.

The Sub-Committee considered the report of the Director of the Built Environment ‘100 Minories Phase Two: Public Realm enhancements to Crescent’.

A Member suggested that there was merit in utilising the current developer’s expertise where possible, rather than looking elsewhere.

A Member sought clarification on whether there had been a change in developer or whether the change had been in the hotel operator and asked if legal obligations had passed to the developer.

Members heard that the Corporation was working with the new owners of the site.
