TfL has investigated procuring renewable energy through the framework; however this would mean paying a premium". Can you explain why procuring renewable energy through this framework will mean 'paying a premium'?

Four of these recycle less than 20 per cent. Will you consider using your powers of direction against the boroughs with the worst recycling rates that make no significant efforts to meet your recycling targets?

The current London Plan policy says: "Boroughs may in their LDFs introduce a presumption against development on back gardens or other private residential gardens…".
