5 "The City Council s long-term arrangements with GL Hearn stem from the involvement of the Planning and Development Director (Alastair Crowdy) in the development of Liverpool One. Alastair was instrumental in assisting the Council in delivering the policy, strategy and scheme which became the largest retail-led mixed use development in Europe. We have been able to utilise the firm in a variety of roles and they have integrated well with the Council s teams, have been adaptable, responsive and flexible and delivering to tight deadlines." Mike Burchnall Assistant Executive Director Liverpool City Council One of Grosvenor s inspired moves was the appointment of Giulia Bunting as part of the team at the very beginning. Grosvenor s John Bullough, who led the Liverpool project during its critical early stages, had once been on the opposing side to Bunting in a compulsory purchase inquiry and made sure they were on the same side this time. The appointment also strengthened Grosvenor s hand at the selection stage because Bunting s presence was a strong signal that a serious response to planning issues would inform the development of the scheme at the very highest level, rather than become retro fitted when events dictated.
