Agenda item

A presentation regarding the Senator House Garden Project.

Due to time pressure the Committee agreed, at the suggestion of the Chairman, to defer this item until the conclusion of non-public business, so that members of the West Ham Park Committee could be admitted to take part in the presentation.

The Technical Manager gave a presentation to the Committee on outline proposals to reconfigure the Senator House Garden. Members had the following comments on the proposals:

• The Deputy Chairman expressed his congratulations to officers for having the developer commit to reconfiguring the gardens. He added that it would be worth opening up the site more and to make a clear reference between the Senator House Garden and the adjoining Cleary Garden.

• A member suggested that a discreet plaque – perhaps at floor level – be installed to make clear that the Garden was owned and managed by the City of London.

• A member expressed concern over the amount of hard landscaping in the proposals for the new garden.
