Report of the City Surveyor.

The Committee considered a report of the City Surveyor seeking approval to declare a volume of City Fund airspace above highway at Great St Helens, EC2 to be surplus to highway requirements to allow its disposal in conjunction with the development scheme at 22 Bishopsgate, EC2.

In response to a query from a Member, the City Surveyor advised that these decisions were part of a transaction which involved the grant of an interest. The monetary aspect of any decisions like this were reported to the Corporate Asset Sub-Committee for decision.

The City Surveyor advised that a colour version of the plan on page 71 would be circulated to the Committee via email as the printed version was unclear.

RESOLVED – That Members:

·         Declare a volume of City Fund airspace above highway at Great St Helen’s, EC2 measuring 3 ft² (0.32m²) and between datum levels to be determined by the City Surveyor to be surplus to highway requirements which will preserve the highway stratum and the continuing highway functions therein to enable its disposal upon terms to be approved by the Corporate Asset Sub Committee; and

·         Resolve that part of the parcels of airspace over City Fund highway at Great St Helens, EC2 measuring 54 ft² (5.00 m²) and declared surplus by this Committee on 3 October 2017 now remain held for highway purposes.
