I am pleased that via your new Land Fund you have acquired part of the St Anne's Hospital site and will significantly increase the number of 'genuinely affordable' homes to 50% (previously only 14% affordable). StArt, a group of Haringey residents and workers, have been campaigning for a community-led development on this site for some time. How will you engage with StArt throughout the development process and how will you ensure their views and ambitions are taken on board?

Do you agree with Recommendation 9 of the Town and Country Planning Association's report " Delivering affordable homes in a changing world" which says, "The government should not extend permitted development rights to allow commercial buildings to be demolished and replaced with homes. Extending permitted development to include the demolition of commercial buildings which will be replaced with homes without requiring a full planning consent risks creating a legacy of poorly serviced, badly designed places that will not provide for those in greatest housing need." Please give your reasons.

On 9 May 2018, Savills published a report entitled " Market in Minutes: UK residential development land". The report said that "There is less demand for smaller sites in outer London, providing an opportunity for smaller private developers and housing associations. However, if this situation continues, the aspiration of the draft London Plan to deliver 24,600 homes per year on smaller sites over the next 10 years is unlikely to be met." Do you accept this assessment and, if it were to play out in the way Savills describe, how could this impact on your target for homes on small...
