Dear All
Today's meeting with AMA, Duncan Whatmore, Ross McEwan and myself went pretty well. In fact it was perhaps better than we may have hoped for.
Mr Afshar is now fully aware of the intention we have to propose a contra-plan for the site. He has also said that he is happy for us to come back to him with the new proposals. This does not mean he will run with them but he is open to listening to what the outcomes are and why. It was also made clear by Mr Afshar that he had a very interested party to rent the development site for ten years. Regarding his own scheme for the site, he was a meeting with planners this Thursday and would be submitting the revised proposals for the Oberlander scheme after that.
So it is up to us as the design team to get something started. Ross, Duncan and myself hope to meet sometime next week. We also hope to engage the support of The City Design Leader, Riccardo Marini and the planning officer David Shephard and other suitable candidates from the statutory bodies, particularly Historic Scotland, to take part in a design workshop as soon as possible.
