When will the LLDC be on a more financially stable footing?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 02 November 2017

Andrew Boff AM: The Local Plan says the LLDC will exceed the London Plan’s target of 1,471 housing units per annum. Does that remain your aspiration?

• Meeting date: 02 November 2017

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you, Chair. I will start by echoing something you said earlier on, David, and it was echoed by Sir Peter. As a regeneration project, it has to be acknowledged that it is successful. Compared to any other Olympic city in the past, what has happened in London is transformationally better than anywhere else. That said, of course, there are some caveats to that and the biggest running sore is the Stadium. I am going to go back over a couple of the points that have been covered by other Members, just to try to get more...

Andrew Boff AM: How could something be described as ‘sustainable’ when London taxpayers will have to keep propping you up every year and you cannot tell us when that is going to stop? How is that sustainable?

Your report calls for a 3rd runway at Heathrow to be mitigated by a number of measures including the banning of night flights. Can you confirm that, if those mitigating factors were not introduced then you would no longer support a 3rd runway?

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Sir Howard, I wanted to ask a little further about night flights. When we last met when you appeared in front of the Assembly, you revealed to me, as somebody who lives under the flight path, this surprising idea that no flights land at Heathrow between 6.00am and 6.20am and that there was a moratorium on that. Since then, Heathrow rather helpfully produces on its website the actual landing times of flights and, of course, there are dozens and dozens of flights that land between 6.00am and 6.20am every single morning, including this morning. Would you...

Do you accept that a key part of planning for Britain’s future aviation needs is ensuring that the hub airport has space to expand further?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Richard Tracey AM: Can I question you a bit further on Heathrow? I do not know where you live, Sir Howard. I live in Wandsworth and a lot of my residents, of course, suffer from these early-morning flights you have been talking about. Indeed, Mr Graham was at the meeting a while ago and heard that people from Lambeth were complaining in exactly the same way as we are in Wandsworth. Do I take it that you accept that the current levels of noise, particularly early-morning noise, going into Heathrow are unacceptable for the millions of people who live underneath...

• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Tony Arbour AM: Arising from the last point that Mr Tracey raised, you told us that on the basis of what you already knew it is likely to be true that a third runway is going to generate less noise than two runways. I may say that my constituents in Hounslow and Richmond have frequently heard assertions saying, “More means less”, which has not proved to be so. I wonder if you can tell us on what you base your certainty that there will be a smaller noise footprint from a third runway than there is from the existing two...

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Kit Malthouse AM: I wanted to ask, in terms of the studies you do, whether you are looking at safety. Within living memory we have the Staines air disaster from Heathrow. It was only in 2009 I think that plane made it in over the fence, you remember, and crash-landed just on the apron. We have been lucky so far. The 118 people who died on the plane at Staines were not lucky but obviously you understand what I mean. I wondered whether you were looking at the possible impact or greater possibility of an impact of some sort of...
