Forthcoming Committee Visits

The Chairman reported that the Committee had the opportunity to undertake two visits in the coming weeks. Firstly, a visit to the public terraces at 22 Bishopsgate was scheduled for Monday, 18 November at 10.30am for which he encouraged Members to RSVP as soon as possible. Secondly, a tour of the Lloyds Building was also being proposed for Friday, 2 December at 2pm and further details on this would be communicated to all in the coming days.

Consolidation

A Member noted that at the last meeting, there had been some discussion around bringing back a future report on the success (or otherwise) of consolidated services and how these were working in practice for applicants. She suggested that it might be helpful to invite them to address a future meeting of the Committee on this. The Planning and Development Director reiterated that 22 Bishopsgate was probably the best, current, working example of this and he suggested that this might also helpfully be weaved into next week’s visit to the site.
