    • Meeting date: 20 June 2019
    Thank you for your reply to my question 2019/8876 on meanwhile use for the Earls Court Masterplan site.

However, the flats above the pop-up high street and the homes in adjacent Empress Place, also owned by ECPL, also lie empty. Why are these homes not being used for temporary housing, when there is a crisis in this provision demonstrated by the recent London Assembly Housing Committee...

    The 2015 London Assembly Environment Committee report, Bring me sunshine, how London’s homes could generate more solar energy, recommended an amendment to the London Plan to reflect planning changes that make it easier to permit solar photovoltaics (PV) in conservation areas.
