Thank you for your response to question 3471/2009. I am quite astonished you made a U-turn on a major planning decision without checking representations from a political colleague, and that you consider it is not 'a good use of my officers' time, to verify every detail contained in correspondence submitted in relation to strategic planning applications.' -Should those 'details' of private correspondence not be verified if they provide the basis for you overturning a previous decision? -Now you are in possession of all the facts, will you be overturning your U-turn and denying permission to the Edgware Town FC application...

The inclusion in the new draft London Plan of the target to cut CO2 emissions by 60% by 2025 from 1990 levels (policy 5.1) and that the GLA will monitor annually the progress on the contribution of all relevant stakeholders towards its achievement is welcome. Effective implementation and monitoring needs specific policies on different aspects of planning in the London Plan and clear reference to other strategies - climate change needs to be a consistent priority across all the mayor's activities.

Chapter 8 - implementing, monitoring and review National indicators for climate change have changed in scope and range. The GLA has only two key performance indicators for climate change, covering strategic development and renewables. It is not meeting the measures in new National Indicators. This means that the setting and monitoring of targets is weak compared with the Boroughs who are required to meet national targets set by CLG and DEFRA including the climate change indicators, for example 185-188. This is inconsistent when Boroughs are expected to be in conformity with the London Plan. Will the Mayor bring the GLA...
