​​Work carried out by the former Waterfront Enterprise Board suggested that the emerging demand for commercial office floor space necessitated some amendments to be made in the eastern section of the Esplanade Quarter:

• elements of layout
• size
• scale and location of the open spaces and buildings

In considering the proposed changes the Minister for Planning and Environment has been determined that the core principles behind the master plan should not be compromised in any way. The Minister is satisfied that the changes are acceptable and that the principles which define the master plan will not be compromised.

The Minister has resolved to approve the amendments and to adopt them as an addendum to the Esplanade Quarter master plan (MD-PE-2011-0029).
