    • Question by: Stephen Knight
    • Meeting date: 18 November 2015
    Were you right to welcome the government's permanent relaxation of planning rules on the conversion of offices to residential properties, given the hugely negative impact this policy has had on the viability of local economic centres in outer London, with over 3,000 local jobs displaced from Richmond-upon-Thames alone since the introduction of the policy?

    • Reference: 2015/3649

    • Meeting date: 18 November 2015
    Do you dispute the figures collated by London Councils which indicate that over 7,000 new dwellings (in schemes of 10 units or more) have been granted prior approval for residential conversion which, had they been approved through the normal planning system, would have supported the delivery of around 1,000 new affordable homes?

    • Reference: 2015/3650
    • Question by: Stephen Knight
    • Meeting date: 18 November 2015
    Do you accept that Article 4 directions - under which local planning authorities may seek to reimpose the requirement for planning permission for any proposed change of use from office to residential - are a cumbersome and costly tool for boroughs to use and will not be appropriate in all circumstances?

    • Question by: Stephen Knight

    • Question by: Stephen Knight
