Siân Berry AM: I would like to start with the Commissioner. On the TfL deal with the Government, one key part of that is the requirement to increase our fares in London by retail price index (RPI) plus 1%. That comes out at 4.8% this year, based on the figure for RPI that came out in July. Are you comfortable that a nurse in zone 6 is going to face an increase in the cost of travel on TfL services of as much as £20 a month according to this arrangement?

Keith Prince AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. I trust you had a good break. Do you believe that you should be doing everything possible to boost London’s economy and help London’s businesses over the coming months and years?

Peter Fortune AM: This is a question for Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe. It is about the inappropriate proposed developments on Transport for London (TfL) car parking land. Look at the amount of opposition there is to this. I am thinking about Stanmore, which is an 11‑storey proposal, and there are about 2,500 signatures against it. At Finchley, which is a 20‑storey, there are 3,100 opposition statements about it. At Cockfosters, which is 14 storeys, there are about 3,700. With almost 10,000 Londoners being against this, is it time to rethink your proposals for that land?

Nicholas Rogers AM: This is a question for Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe. At present, there seems to be a disconnect or an unevenness in the way that called‑in planning applications are approached. At present, there seems to be a lot of working behind closed doors with developers and this often leads to major alterations. Of course, there are very good reasons why the GLA Planning team would meet with developers. My question is: why are resident groups, who know their local areas intimately ‑ they know what will work, they know what will be acceptable to the local community ‑...

Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): Good afternoon, Deputy Mayor. Thank you very much for coming down and visiting the SHC [Partnership] unit at Westminster Abbey yesterday. I am sorry I could not be there. I was at a Transport Committee meeting. You visited the unit, you went into it and you will probably tell me what you felt about it. One of the issues we had is because it is designed to fit on the back of a low loader without a police escort, it does fall just shy of the Mayor’s space standards. This does not seem to be...

• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Siân Berry AM: Coming back to the discussion you had with Assembly Member Bailey on the 2021 to 2026 housing grants and the allocations and profiles for it, you kept saying it was coming in the autumn and I think we know that in the public sector autumn runs from September to the end of December. Will it be closer to September [2021] or December [2021] when we get that profile, presumably in time for the budgets?

• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Emma Best AM: I am just going to circle back to overcrowding which, in part, we know is due to the lack of family housing of all tenure. My question is for Deputy Mayor Tom Copley and just quite simply a “Yes” or “No”, I would appreciate. Do you think that we need a family housing target in the London Housing Strategy?

• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you. Moving from east to west, my questions are for David Lunts in relation to the OPDC. I am mindful of the current consultation, which closes on 5 July [2021]. In relation to the revised plans, how will you ensure that they still deliver for the area, and for London more widely?

Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning. My question is to Royal Docks Programme Director Daniel Bridge. How will developments at the Royal Docks bring opportunities for London?

• Question by: Elly Baker
• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Elly Baker AM: My question is to Deputy Mayor Tom Copley. Returning to the subject of the City Hall developer, I do appreciate that you have said it is the very early stages of planning, but it would be really good for us to hear what you think the creation of a City Hall developer could achieve.
