If the brickwork turns out like the hotel they’re building round there (can’t remember the name) this will be a good addition to the city.

Hampton by Hilton. Due to start in Spring 2018. Thats the one opposite or do you mean the one by SimpsonHaugh?

The one that’s under construction at the minute, assumed it was a hotel but there’s so much going on at the minute.... anyway, whichever one it is, I drove past last Friday night and thought it looked absolute class.

Docs are in. Stunning!! Reminds me very much of Port Street.

Manchester City centre is slowly turning into a European city centre, with midrises slowly filling the outskirts of the city centre, stretching it outwards. Reminds me of places like Seville and Milan, where there is no definite beginning or end to their city centres, only the change in buildings, heights, etc gives it away. As for New Cross, it's turning out to be a very exciting new area, with quality buildings and a defined grid pattern.

Update - completion not imminent.

MINDED TO APPROVE subject to the signing of a section 106 agreement with regards of off site affordable housing and public realm and infrastructure improvements within the New Cross Area.

Out of general interest is it normally in the public domain how much the section 106 payments are and how we know they do get spent as described?
