Report of the Director of the Built Environment

Members considered a Gateway 4 Detailed Options Appraisal (Complex Route) report of the Director of Built Environment regarding 60 – 70 St. Mary Axe which had been considered by the Project Sub-Committee on 17 January 2018.

Members were advised that the Projects Sub-Committee had commented that the staff costs appeared to be very high and had requested further information to be obtained in relation to the charged hourly rate compared to the market value.

Members noted the view of the Projects Sub-Committee but were satisfied with the proposed way forward.

Delegated Authority, as per the City’s project procedure;

·                Authorise officers to pursue the necessary approvals, such as Traffic

Regulation Orders.

·                Approve the funding set out in Table 2 of the report.
