  • Responding to Flooding (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    On the Thames Gateway development issues, you said you have not specifically commented on the flood risk issue. Could I ask that LFEPA does look at the recommendations from the Assembly's Environment Committee that the plans be rigorously tested?
  • Responding to Flooding (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Even if that is not going to be a statutory function, obviously there is a direct pressure that flood risk places on LFEPA's activities. Should you not be pressing for stronger planning policies to limit new development in high-risk flood areas, and actually really take a key part in this debate about Thames Gateway?
  • Brownfield Land (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Will the review also include assessments for the value of brownfield sites for biodiversity, flood management and community and recreational use as well as just development use, because one of points we made in our scrutiny report was that actually brownfield sites sometimes have far more amenity value and environmental value than greenfield sites?
  • Brownfield Land (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    At the moment how does the LDA ensure that the community value and the environmental value of brownfield land is taken into account in development decisions currently?
  • Brownfield Land (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    OK. Our research a year ago showed that around 11 per cent of brownfield land in London had no planning permission on it at all, so that is an area around the size of Hyde Park that at the moment no-one has got a clue what to do with. Is that figure still roughly the same according to your information?
  • Brownfield Land

    • Reference: 2006/0129-1
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    In response to the Environment Committee's Dereliction of Duty? report on brownfield development, the LDA committed to 'review of information on brownfield sites in London to establish the length of time sites have remained vacant and their potential for future use'. Can you update me on progress on this review?

    What urgent action is being taken to bring fire appliances in London up to the required standard for emissions recommended in the Low Emissions Zone Feasibility Study?" .
  • Low Emissions Zones (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 12 November 2003
    Can I ask also about other environmental measures that you have in other fire stations? I understand that you have got lots of little projects and I was wondering whether there was any thought about pulling them all together and having a real drive on this issue.
  • Initiatives for young and elderly (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 12 November 2003
    I would really like to welcome the emphasis on prevention and the work that you are doing in this area. You could not give Diana the exact details of the budget. Given that this is a growing area in terms of emphasis, is the overall percentage budget in terms of this prevention work growing?
  • Initiatives for young and elderly (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 12 November 2003
    But if you are actually providing equipment to vulnerable people - smoke alarms, etc. " there are budget implications to that. How are you going to overcome some of the political and institutional pressures in terms of this being vital work, but is not particularly glamorous or high-profile? There is always the danger that softer budget issues like this get trimmed.
