  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Hina Bokhari AM: Thank you, Chair. Liz, I was really pleased to hear that you are encouraging the right kind of developer. What measures are you putting in place to make sure that you are not working with developers who may have had a disregard for leaseholders, people who have suffered as a result of the building safety crisis?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Elly Baker
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Elly Baker AM: Thank you, Chair. My questions are to Liz about delays to HS2 and how they might impact OPDC. Three years ago, the Mayor said that, “There are ambitious plans in place to deliver a significant number of new homes and jobs at both Old Oak Common and Euston. I am confident these can be delivered, even if there are delays to the first phase of HS2.” Are you confident now that the start date has moved from 2026 to a window of 2029 to 2033?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much, Chair, and my question is to David. I am sorry to say that I have witnessed from you what I think is quite a poor attitude to community engagement. I have been copied in to this letter, also to you, from Professor Jennifer Robinson, who is Professor of Human Geography at University College London (UCL) and I agree with a lot of what it says. The professor raises concerns about the approach by OPDC to community engagement and says there is a need for the organisation to “repair relations” with community groups, including...

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM (Chair): I am now going to hand over the chair to Assembly Member Boff and I am asking this question as an Assembly Member for this area. You spoke earlier on that you are still working on the strategic OBC for the western land. Is this right?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Neil Garratt AM: Afternoon. Coming back to this question of what is a good developer, one definition might be a developer that does not fit flammable cladding to the sides of buildings and, if they have done that, they commit to fixing it. Have you got a policy that developers who have not signed up to that cladding charter cannot work on your development?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Anne Clarke
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Anne Clarke AM: Thank you, Chair, and good afternoon. We have hit on a number of times the community engagement, and sadly in London you can look at plenty of examples of where developers did not get it right in major regeneration schemes. Just to follow up on some of the questions though, I am just wondering how you think you can make community engagement more accessible.

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh

    Sakina Sheikh AM: Can you provide us with an update following the closure of the consultation of the revisions to the OPDC’s local plan, please?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Hina Bokhari AM: I am going to talk about flooding. There are recent issues that I am sure you are aware of that have happened in London. If you were to examine the OPDC website, the most recent information on policies to deal with flooding go back to 2015. Can you provide an update on the development of infrastructure and capacity to deal with flood risk, especially to deal with surface and storm water runoff?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Liz and David. On OPDC, I have lived on both sides of that site. I used to live down the Wood Lane end and then up in Harlesden there and so I have a keen interest. Let me just start with the main question. The original aim of the OPDC was to deliver some 25,500 homes. How many now do you expect to deliver and in what timescale?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Neil Garratt AM: The ambition that you have for this project is pretty obvious from just listening to you this morning, but we know that so far things have not gone brilliantly over at Old Oak and Park Royal. I would like to understand specifically what the Mayor is doing to try to get the whole thing back on track. Just to recap, it is often talked about as the largest regeneration project in Europe. It feels like that launch ambition of five years ago has fizzled out a bit. You mentioned sites and capital. There was a £250 million...
