Your answer to Question 2019/8978 described the ways of measuring transport connectivity using the TfL WebCAT PTAL and TIM but the answer did not clarify how PTAL and TIM could be used to implement Policy D6 or how these parameters could be used to interpret the appropriate densities of a proposed development. How should the WebCAT PTAL and TIM parameters be used to determine the acceptability or otherwise of an individual development proposal without some form of detailed guidance or methodology once the Density Matrix has been removed?

Your response to Question 2019/8979 related to the Density Matrix but did not indicate how Policy D6 would meet the requirements of NPPF Plan Making Para 16 which states: Plans should: b) be prepared positively, in a way that is aspirational but deliverable; c) be shaped by early, proportionate and effective engagement between plan-makers and communities, local organisations, businesses, infrastructure providers and operators and statutory consultees; d) contain policies that are clearly written and unambiguous, so it is evident how a decision maker should react to development proposals; Would you agree that Policy D6 does not meet NPPF Para 16...

Steve O’Connell AM: Thank you, Chair. Going from the general to the specific, Mayor, I sense that you are being told that it is all working very well on the mutual support and housing officers in police stations. It is not correct. I will give you a little story about Croydon. In south Croydon, officers have to parade in Addington Police Station and take a 50-minute bus ride to south of Croydon. That is to police four wards. Three years ago we had a new fire station open, Purley Fire Station. Much excitement happened about that, although it is being...

As Policy D6 of your new draft London Plan does not give clear guidance what densities are acceptable and what densities are not acceptable, Policy D6 does not give any guidance on the actual appropriate densities of proposed developments in relation to the setting or the local PTAL (public transport accessibility level). The policy requires planning officers to assess local development proposals on subjective evaluation of local characteristics and devise their own evaluation criteria. Applicants would not have any guidance on the appropriate densities for a proposed development and therefore the Policy D6 does not reflect para 122 of the...
