Minutes:
Councillor Shama Tatler, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Growth, Employment and Skills, introduced the report seeking Cabinet’s approval to the extension and variation to the existing contract for an architect, Maccreanor Lavington Architects and for the appointment of a wider consultant team; for the completion of a s73/s96a application for minor material amendment or for non-material amendments and for the completion of design works to the consented scheme.
She stated that the appointments, if approved would take forward the comprehensive redevelopment of Cullen House, Keniston Press, TfL offices at Premier House and the Falcon Public House and associated carparks.
This development has been stalled since 2012 due to safeguarding of the site by HS2 for a proposed ventilation shaft and auto transformer. This HS2 safeguarding is now removed from this site enabling the project to recommence.
