How many a) local authority social rent, b) housing association social rent, c) privately rented homes, and d) owner-occupied properties in London currently fall below the Decent Homes Standard? Could you also provide the same data for each borough in London?

Gypsy and Traveller policies in the Housing Strategy

  • Reference: 2018/0120
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
In response to your draft Housing Strategy, the London Gypsies and Travellers group has asked that you address their needs in a more integrated way throughout the policies. Will you update the final Housing Strategy with this in mind?

Tenure-blind design on new developments

  • Reference: 2018/0119
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
I was pleased to read in your draft Housing Strategy your views on avoiding 'poor doors' and requiring tenure-blind design standards for housing in new developments. However, I have seen a disturbing example of a planned development with separate rooftop play areas for children in the market rate and affordable homes, so I would like to see your policies to avoid segregation extended to play areas for children and other facilities for residents. How will your final Housing Strategy address this?

Housing Zones information

  • Reference: 2018/0118
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
Thank you for your responses to my questions 2017/2802, 2017/3009, and 2016/1949. The updated Housing Zones webpages still do not include the number of homes expected to be built and demolished for each Housing Zone. Could you add this information for each Housing Zone so Londoners are able to see the net increase of homes planned for their areas?

  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
The Energy for Londoners Prior Information Notice states that the "proposed contract duration is 5 years in the first instance." Does that mean that any move to a full energy supply option cannot take place before 2023 at the earliest?

Energy for Londoners - Prior Information Notice (3)

  • Reference: 2018/0116

The Energy for Londoners Prior Information Notice states that the supplier must be able to provide "Full access to all Energy for Londoners customer consumption data, for the GLA, London Boroughs, contractors and research partners, so that trends can be mapped and potential energy efficiency and other interventions can be assessed, designed and offered." Is such a data access arrangement allowed under consumer energy supply contracts with an energy supplier?

High Speed 2 and tree removals

  • Reference: 2018/0113
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
I understand that thousands of trees will be removed to make way for High Speed 2 (HS2) during preparatory work and for the temporary construction roads in areas like the mid-Colne Valley area of Hillingdon. Have you or Transport for London (TfL) examined the extent of current and planned tree removals, or carried out any impact assessments looking into the implications for flood risk, pollution, biodiversity, and tree canopy cover? If not, why not?
