The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report on the above application.  An update report was tabled at the meeting which clarified the construction methodology and a number of other points in the original report. The update report recommended amendment of the proposed construction management condition to require submission of phasing arrangements, and amendment of other related conditions to ensure that various facilities were provided in relation to the relevant apartment, no later than first occupation of the relevant apartment. 

 

A verbal update was given at the meeting to explain that the central area policies referred to in the original report did not apply to this location, and to clarify that the affordable housing contribution referred to in the proposed Heads of Terms should be index-linked from the date of permission and payable on commencement of the development.

 

Comments and objections were received and considered.
