  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Nick Rogers AM: The OPDC is one of Europe’s flagship regeneration projects. It has been going for almost seven years now and has had millions of pounds worth of public funding, but there have been a number of false starts and it feels like there is very little to show for the funding that you have had. Why do you think that is the case?

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Tony Devenish AM: The Mayor recently appointed [Lord] Bob Kerslake [Kt, former senior civil servant] to review the GLA’s housing delivery. How will this impact the OPDC - I believe you had a meeting with him very recently - and what are you looking for from the review and from the Mayor more generally?

    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David and it is about biodiversity. Could you give us an update on the biodiversity study you have commissioned from the Wildlife Trust for the OPDC and how you plan to maximise biodiversity across the site and in particular - we have talked about flooding earlier - how that can minimise the risk of flooding, too?

  • Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Hina Bokhari AM: Shared ownership has been a key part of London’s housing and planning model for the last two decades. Today I want to ask questions about how it is working for ordinary Londoners. I will start by asking Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe about planning for shared ownership homes in mixed developments. There were widespread reports recently of residents enjoying the world’s first swimming pool suspended between two buildings at the Embassy Gardens development in Wandsworth. However, the benefits of this facility are not equal as the shared owners in the building are not allowed to access it. This...

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Neil Garratt AM: Good morning. I would like to ask a question to Deputy Mayor Pipe, if I may, about family housing. It seems to me that if we are mainly building one and two‑bedroom properties, then that is what families will be living in, and they will be living in overcrowded conditions in those flats. We have seen particularly over the last year how big a problem that can be. People often imagine they are going to move out of inner London into outer London when they start a family, and they might be surprised to discover that that...

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning. My question is to Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe, regarding building safety. For many of us, particularly the victims’ families, Grenfell Tower is scarred into our memories and the pursuit for justice continues. The Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 report found that in the context of national legislation there was compelling evidence ‑ and I quote ‑ that, “[T]he external walls of the building failed to comply with Requirement B4(1) of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations 2010, in that they did not adequately resist the spread of the fire having regard to the height, use...
