  • 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?

  • Provisions of Consultancy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    If you felt that you were surplus to requirements and that you did not have a useful role to play at TfL, might you consider terminating your consultancy sooner rather than later?

  • Provisions of Consultancy (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    You obviously bring undoubted expertise in this consultancy role, but what might you be doing that Peter Hendy would be incapable of doing?

  • Achievements as Commissioner for Transport (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    The Greens have been working on pushing walking and cycling up the agenda. What would you say to Peter Hendy about the biggest change that you could make to walking and cycling? Are there any specific measures he could take to radically change the London streetscape from that point of view?

  • Achievements as Commissioner for Transport (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    One of my concerns is that as the bus fares and Tube fares rise, we are actually going to almost force people back into their cars. That is one of the reasons I so much agreed with you about getting under-16s free on the buses; I thought that was totally inappropriate because it makes buses more crowded for other people who might want to use them. Do you think we are going to see a situation where bus fares and Tube fares mean that it actually is worth paying the Congestion Charge and using private cars again?

  • Achievements as Commissioner for Transport

    • Reference: 2006/0005-1
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    Please comment on your achievements as Commissioner for Transport, and what further improvements to London's transport you hope to see in the period to June 2008.

  • Extension to Victoria Underground Lines Southwards to Herne Hill (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 06 April 2005
    On the West London Tram, will there be an additional large pot of money to tackle traffic reduction and rat-running, as we saw with Congestion Charging, not only an important measure but an important measure in terms of building public confidence before the scheme goes ahead?
