Stepney Green - Crossrail Update and Implications (KGFCB 005/1011) PDF 112 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The report was introduced by the Head of Major Projects Development and Renewal (O. Whalley) who proceeded to outline the salient issues of the report. Site plans were circulated and Members were advised of matters of mitigation relating to the impact of Crossrail on Stepney City Farm and Stepney Green Park.
The Mayor welcomed the report and stressed the need to ensure that adequate compensation was received for the distress and lost of land caused by Crossrail and its associated works. The minimum requirement was new adequate changing rooms and the provision of alternative open space which should also be in the local environs.
Therefore, it was RESOLVED that
(i) the progress on the Crossrail works at Stepney Green Park and Stepping Stones Farm as described in section 3 of the report, be noted;
(ii) the impact of Crossrail on the Trust lands at Stepney Green be noted and officers seek proposed mitigation measures as detailed in the minutes above; and
(iii) the granting of a Licence for a period of 12 months to the Stepney City Farm Ltd to occupy and manage Stepping Stones Farm excluding that part required for the Crossrail Phase 2 works as shown on appendix 1(to be circulated at the meeting) be approved; and that subject to the satisfactory completion of the Stage 2 works, delegation be given to the Corporate Director Communities, Localities and Culture for the granting of a formal lease to Stepney City Farm.
Finally, it was reported that at the next meeting of the Board an item would be presented in relation to the implications of Crossrail on Mile End Park. |
