    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 28 February 2017 Subject: Public 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of a building arranged on three basement floors, ground and 58 upper floors plus mezzanines and plant comprising floorspace for use within Classes A and B1 of the Use Classes Order and a publicly accessible viewing gallery and facilities (sui generis); hard and soft landscaping works; the provision of ancillary servicing and other works incidental to the development. (201,449sq.m. GEA) Ward: Lime Street For Decision Registered No: 16/01150/FULEIA Registered on: 24 November 2016 Conservation Area: St Helen's Place Listed Building: No Summary The planning application relates to the site of the 62 storey tower (294.94m AOD) granted planning permission in June 2016 and which is presently being constructed. The current scheme is for a tower comprising 59 storeys at ground and above (272.32m AOD) with an amended design to the top. The tapering of the upper storeys previously approved has been omitted and replaced by a flat topped lower tower. In other respects the design of the elevations remains as before. The applicants advise that the lowering of the tower in the new proposal is in response to construction management constraints in relation to aviation safeguarding issues. The planning application also incorporates amendments to the base of the building, the public realm and to cycle space provision which were proposed in a S73 amendment application and which your Committee resolved to grant on 28 November 2016, subject to a legal agreement but not yet issued. The building would provide offices, retail at ground level, a viewing gallery with free public access at levels 55 and 56 and a public restaurant and bar at levels 57 and 58.

Reinke FAIA RIBA Director, Stephan Reinke Architects Level 02, 28 Margaret Street, London W1W 8RZ Abstract As the workplace evolves in our vertical cities, the need for “think spaces” and the public realm to meet, create and innovate will become integral to tall buildings. These people places are designed to address the social challenges and enhance the co- working environments which are emerging in the dense urban context of our future cities. The design of sky terraces and the “spaces between” offer a greener, more humane and smarter work environment for the future. The public realm should no longer be held down, fixed to the ground plane, but rather become part and parcel of the upper levels of our workplace centers.

ZSL London Zoo’s newest and most breath-taking exhibit transports visitors from the heart of London to India’s vibrant Sasan Gir, where they can get closer than ever before to mighty Asiatic lions. Shrek’s Adventure London London's newest family attraction! Step into the kingdom of Far Far Away and enjoy a brand new madcap Shrek adventure where amazing DreamWorks animation, captivating story-telling and a good dose of Donkey’s cheekiness awaits. The London Dungeon (all ages) It has all the ghastly gore and black comedy of the old Tooley Street attraction in a bigger and more high-tech package. A jokey celebration of torture, death and disease, visitors can journey back in time to London's plague-ridden streets (rotting corpses, rats, vile boils and projectile vomiting all come as standard) and meet some of the city's unsavoury characters, from Guy Fawkes to demon barber Sweeney Todd. A cast of blood- splattered actors are joined by 'virtual' guests, such as Brian Blessed as Henry VIII, and as well as the 18 different shows and 'surprises' – which could see you on the run from Jack the Ripper or getting lost in London's Victorian sewers – there are two rides to raise the adrenaline: a turbulent boat trip down the Thames towards execution, and a dark drop ride plunging three stories in the pitch black. Note that the London Dungeon is unsuitable for young or easily scared children.
