Good morning. I also have a few questions on the Healthy Streets agenda. The Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy says: “It is essential that a new street network is developed using the Healthy Streets approach to make walking and cycling the first choice across the area.” It also says: “High quality and reliable bus links to and through the area from existing residential communities will also be required to ensure that everyone benefits from the proposals at Old Oak.” How do you balance the competing demands for road space from both these priorities?

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I expected my colleague to go first but, anyway, can you provide me an update into the work being done to refine the results of the Development Infrastructure Fund (DIF), which you referred to in your meeting in March of this year? Can you update us on what work has been done on that?

Fiona Twycross AM: Thank you. I was pleased to hear about the work you have commissioned on intensification because of the point that my colleague Nicky Gavron [AM] made about employment in industrial land.

What are your plans to unlock the full potential of Old Oak and Park Royal in regard to housing density whilst making it an attractive place to live in?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

My question is to Victoria first of all. Given the timetable for the delivery of housing at Old Oak and the Mayor’s long-term strategic target of 50% affordable housing, how is the OPDC maximising affordable development right from the outset?

Tom Copley AM: My next question perhaps is more for David [Bellamy] or Fiona. The report from the review recommends that public land is potentially wholly transferred to the GLA. To what extent does central Government recognise the complexities of the land and what discussions had the Mayor had around the proposal of land transfer?

Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mine is about the exemplar development in terms of the environmental ambitions, and so perhaps Victoria would like to start.

• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Navin Shah AM: Thank you, Chair. Will the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and planning agreements be sufficient to deliver the substantial amount of social infrastructure that will be required for the development?

• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Nicky Gavron AM: Victoria, you have given us quite a lot of context with this exchange. I want to go on talking about the industrial site. Park Royal is probably the largest strategic industrial location in the whole of Europe and it is definitely the industrial engine of the London economy and therefore a huge contributor to the UK economy. Everything you are saying about protecting it - and I really welcome what you were saying about the article 4 direction - and strengthening it is really important. You have talked about relocating some of the industries from Old Oak...

• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Nicky Gavron AM: This is a question I was out of time on that I would like to ask. During the last mayoralty, there was a general perception that Old Oak and Park Royal would probably be a rather dull development with residential units and commercial units and so on but that it would not really have a star attraction. Now there has been a lot of talk about Queens Park Rangers going there and a stadium-led regeneration with everything from casinos to concert halls and, recently, there were press reports on a study you were doing on something called...
