(B) Bloomberg Development s278 Highway Changes - Gateway 4b

Your Committee, through its Streets and Walkways Sub Committee, has granted approval to a project linked to the Bloomberg Development, largely relating to the section 278 highway changes that are necessary to integrate the development into the public highway. These changes must be delivered in time for the building’s practical completion in late 2017.

As the cost of the project is estimated in excess of £5million, the authority of the Court of Common Council is required to progress the project to the next stage. A separately printed and circulated report has been submitted thereon and we recommend that the Bloomberg Development Project be progressed to Gateway 5 accordingly.
