Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): We go to item 10 which is Minor Alterations to the London Plan (MALP). [---] Before we move to the questions can I invite Sir Edward to make a short opening statement?

• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Could you set out the aims and objectives of the draft MALPs document as laid out before the Assembly? How will the alterations address the issues raised by the Assembly and the implications for the London Plan of changes to national policy? You can indicate whether you have touched on some aspects of that and we will then be able to make the link.

Tom Copley AM: Could you tell us how you will ensure the space standards provide high quality, well utilised homes?

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Navin Shah AM: My question is about the zero carbon homes. When the MALP was first proposed it included new text which outlined how the Mayor was going to achieve zero carbon homes. This has now been removed from the final version. Has the Mayor given up on zero carbon homes entirely?

Nicky Gavron AM: I want to talk about the parking standards in areas of outer London. One of the most worrying aspects of the minor alterations is the Mayor’s decision to introduce minimum car parking standards. Minimum car parking standards were abolished by the government of the day 22 years ago and they are not part of the national policy. Developers seem to have to impose them whether they believe in them or not. We are just beginning to see coming forward now really innovative forms of car-free, low carbon developments. A lot of Londoners coming to live in these...

Murad Qureshi AM: Can I raise, Sir Edward, one of the major concerns of the Inspector in regards to the impact of car parking on air quality? It is suggested that there will be a 0.5% decrease in air quality and that may rise higher. What the Inspector says is that you must mitigate against this impact. What mitigation actions are you putting in place for this?

What are your greatest risks?

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 08 December 2010

Just a quick question in my usual friendly fashion. Many of my constituents and a lot of Londoners will be very anxious that, particularly in the light of the events of the last week - and I know Lord Coe has commented on this already - that any perception that the ORN was some sort of bung to make it easy for rich men in blazers - in some cases corrupt men in blazers - to drive around London - would be very strongly resisted. Dee Doocey (Chair): Your question, Mr Biggs? John Biggs (AM): The question is here. Londoners...

• Meeting date: 08 December 2010

We all wish heartily for a very successful Games but I hope you will understand, therefore, it is important to get the worries out and debated and sorted early in advance of the event itself. As you know the Transport Committee has been doing a scrutiny exercise. We are midway through it and we are due to see you in the New Year. I wanted to put to you some of the worries that seem to be coming up through that process that we need to be resolved. London's councils were very unhappy about the lack of sharing of detailed...

• Meeting date: 08 December 2010

John, I want to follow up on my colleague's, Val Shawcross', questions and I want to add the concerns of many of my constituents who, as you know, live in Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest. I can assure you that, although we can sit here gladly talking about traffic orders and the discussions there, what they are concerned about and what they want to know as soon as possible - and they should be knowing now - is will the orders be over 40 days and nights? I have put that figure together in terms of the Games, the gap...
