Summary of request
Please would you send me all correspondence, emails, notes of meetings and minutes of meetings or phone calls - internal and with outside parties - concerning the decision to keep the Bishopsgate Goodsyard planning application in the hands of the GLA and not return it to the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Hackney, after the planning decision was deferred by the Mayor Boris Johnson on 18 April 2016.
For reference, on 11 July 2019 Jules Pipe (Dep Mayor for Planning) told the Assembly Planning Committee : "it was tough to decide whether it [the Bishopsgate Goodsyard planning application] should go back to the to the boroughs again. We agonised over that but, in the end, everyone settled on it staying here because it had got to that stage."
