Steve O’Connell AM: On this side we welcome the alterations that are designed to retain as much as possible our higher London standards and apply consistency across our city. A question I have for you, however, is for the first time there is a requirement for developers to consider installing lifts in developments below four storeys. The Planning Committee had some concerns around that initially and we sought some clarification around this policy. Clearly one of the risks would be by adding potential costs to the developer they may be incentivised to increase the size of the buildings and/or potentially...

Steve O’Connell AM: Deputy Mayor, you will not be surprised to know that on this side we do welcome these relaxations. These are modest, however.

Thank you for the answer, sir, to the relationship with the trial. Can we be clear? Have we got agreed performance and assessment criteria or other success criteria that are being applied to this, so that at the end of it, we can say this has been a successful trial, and therefore, we want the Government money to flow, or alternatively, that maybe this is not the right way forward?
