  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 06 February 2015
    Jenny Jones AM: On this substantive issue, I am very concerned that you are actually releasing too much industrial land because the vacancy rate on industrial land has actually halved in the past 15 years and is now lower than retail vacancies. I am concerned that you are talking about surplus land when, actually, it is not surplus because small businesses still need to be near centres of population and they still need to be near town centres. I just wonder how much research you have done on this.
  • Proposal to Designate a Mayoral Development Area (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
    Darren Johnson AM: I hear what you say about Wormwood Scrubs and the issue of permeability. I do not at all doubt the need to improve permeability. However, surely, this type of thing can be done through sensible negotiations between boroughs. You do not need to include it in the MDC to ensure pathways and gates to public open space, do you?
  • Proposal to Designate a Mayoral Development Area (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
    Jenny Jones AM: I have not been convinced by these arguments about keeping Wormwood Scrubs open space inside the MDC. The council that currently has it in their borough is against it. The Friends of the Open Space are against it. It looks like a mayoral land grab. It does not look like a coherent plan. Sir Edward Lister (Mayor's Chief of Staff): If I may, it is a coherent plan, but they do not agree with it. Jenny Jones AM: Do you not think you should be interested in localism: that decisions for local people for local land should...

    That is going to be true even with the new powers.
  • Climate Change (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2007
    What about enforcement?
  • Climate Change (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2007
    Could I stop you there. I have got some questions and not very much time. Perhaps I can ask all my questions then you can just answer as best you can. The first question is how are you going to enforce all this, because that always seems to be the problem with councils actually being able to enforce codes. My view on all this, about trying to get to Level 3, is that it is just utterly unambitious. If you think that the houses we build now are going to be here for at least 50 years and possibly 100...
  • Sustainable Management System (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    If their input is going to be meaningful, it cannot be after the contracts have been let, and the horse has bolted, as it were. It also cannot just be producing more imaginative, visionary statements that do not translate into practical reality on the ground.
  • Privately funded developments/sustainability

    • Reference: 2005/0275-1
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    How will you ensure that those developments being funded by the private sector (if any) will adhere to the sustainability promises made?
