11 June 2014 21St Mayor's Report to the Assembly London Assembly MQT – 11 June 2014 21st Mayor’s Report to the Assembly This is my twenty-first report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period 6 March to 28 May 2014. Executive Summary £100 million ‘mini-Holland’ cycling revolution On 10 March, I announced that all eight of the outer London boroughs shortlisted for the mini- Hollands programme will receive funding for substantial and transformative change to their cycling infrastructure. Three boroughs, Enfield, RB Kingston and Waltham Forest, have been selected for full mini- Holland status, receiving up to £30 million each for improvements. Bexley, Ealing, Merton and Richmond also had exceptional proposals. Transport for London (TfL) will work with them to take forward substantial parts of their bids to improve cycle routes and facilities. The eighth finalist Newham has been invited to submit a bid for funding under TfL’s major schemes budget to go towards a plan to remove the Stratford gyratory and reshape Stratford town centre. Culture Strategy Update: Cultural Metropolis On March 26, I published an update to my Culture Strategy ‘Cultural Metropolis’. The update reviews the achievements of the past four years and outlines my vision to ‘redraw London’s cultural map’ by building cultural provision into new development areas from Olympicopolis in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to Crystal Palace. The Strategy also outlines cultures role in making the river an exciting destination, including plans for a Lido on the River and artistic lighting installations for eight bridges across the Thames. Housing Strategy On 28 March, I published my draft Housing Strategy ‘Homes for London’, which provides an in depth overview of London’s complex housing needs and a range of pioneering solutions to increase supply, stimulate building and tackle demand. The Strategy sets out a long-term ambition to increase supply to at least 42,000 new homes per annum, around double what has been achieved over the last 20 years. Of these, at least 17,000 should be affordable with 5,000 for purpose-built long-term market rent. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park opens to the public On 5 April, the south of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park opened to the public for the first time since the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. During the course of the weekend over 50,000 people visited the Park and took part in the festivities. On 4 April, alongside His Royal Highness Prince Harry, I visited the Park to join local youngsters for a sneak preview ahead of the official opening. Launch of MedCity On 8 April, I launched MedCity, a major new initiative backed by some of the country’s senior academics and business people that will transform the London-Oxford-Cambridge life sciences sector into a world beating power-cluster. The new organisation is tasked with attracting life sciences corporations large and small to the ‘golden triangle’ formed by the three UK cities, facilitating collaboration between them and the UK academic research base, and reinforcing specialist infrastructure, so that the region becomes one of the premier, interconnected clusters for life science research, development, manufacturing and commercialisation. Launch of first London Rental Standard On 28 May, I launched the capital’s first ever rental standard, a city-wide badge of accreditation to help millions of Londoners rent with confidence and to give the city’s 300,000 landlords peace of mind that they are complying with the law and doing the right thing. In time, the London Rental Standard will become an instantly recognisable feature of London’s lettings industry, helping Londoners to pick between the huge array of landlords and agents on offer in the capital. Policing, Crime and Community Safety Providing burglary-busting ‘liquid’ to more than 440,000 homes On 10 April, whilst visiting the London Borough of Harrow to observe Operation Bluebell, part of a Borough focus on burglary over the last two years, I heralded the success of an innovative crime-cutting tactic 'traceable liquids', which has the potential to deliver significant decreases in burglary if deployed across the capital. Harrow has seen recent sharp falls in burglary and has invested in traceable liquids as part of its joint working with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). Traceable liquid is a pioneering property-marking technology containing a unique forensic code which can only be seen under ultraviolet light. Any marked item can be traced back to its owner, providing police with powerful forensic evidence to convict thieves and to identify the owner’s details. A recent MPS pilot of this innovative technology saw 5000 homes in 5 boroughs being provided with the liquid free of charge. The trial targeted burglary hotspots and achieved an average 49 per cent reduction in burglaries over 6 months. The reduction delivered more than £500,000 in estimated cost savings and of more than 15,000 saved police hours. I hope to introduce traceable liquids to at least 440,000 London homes and am calling for local authorities to jointly invest with the MPS and follow Harrow's lead. The MPS is currently conducting a London-wide procurement to identify a single supplier of traceable liquids for the capital which will be concluded later this year. New policing ethics panel launches to examine key issues of concern to Londoners On 11 April, Lord Carlile of Berriew QC, chair of my new London Policing Ethics Panel, announced the first set of issues that the Panel will be examined. The Panel will complement the existing structures in place in the capital to oversee the way London is policed and will provide in-depth consideration of ethical issues around current and future policing practice in London. Following consultation with the MPS and I, Lord Carlile has confirmed that the panel’s first priorities for inquiry will be: ‘Use of force by the police’ – including use of tasers, public order tools including water cannon, and firearms; ‘Surveillance by the police’ – covering undercover tactics, and use of surveillance technology; ‘Public encounters’ – in particular looking at stop and search, including traffic stops. Lord Carlile will be supported by a team of four experts: Grace Ononiwu OBE, Chief Crown Prosecutor for the East of England; Professor Leif Wenar, academic and Chair of Ethics at King’s College London; Baroness Elizabeth Berridge, barrister and life peer; Meg Reiss, former criminal prosecutor from the US and expert in policing oversight. Water Cannon On 19 March, following a six week public consultation, I announced that I had agreed to support the MPS call to purchase water cannon to help enhance its response to riots or other serious and exceptional public disorder. The final decision on whether to license the water cannon for use on the UK mainland now rests with the Home Secretary. I have taken into account evidence of broad support amongst Londoners for this measure. An independent poll conducted by TNS on behalf of the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), found over two thirds of respondents were supportive of the use of water cannon in limited circumstances. In addition, over half of the respondents expressed that they would have greater confidence in the MPS’s ability to respond to serious public disorder if water cannon were available. My decision comes after the MPS Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, asked my permission to purchase three existing water cannon from the German Federal Police. The Commissioner has assured me that these water cannon would be rarely seen and rarely used and not routinely used to respond to public protest. Pioneering Tri-borough re-offending service On 19 March, my Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Stephen Greenhalgh, visited a new service aimed at reducing re-offending rates across Westminster, Hammersmith and Fulham and RB Kensington and Chelsea. The Starting Over programme aims to cut re-offending by 10 per cent in the central London Tri-borough area over the next four years by providing a package of support for male offenders who serve short prison sentences and do not currently receive formal post-release support. Run by Turning Point and Catch 22, in collaboration with the MPS, Starting Over provides a custody referral team who will work with offenders at the point of arrest, identifying issues such as learning disabilities, mental health problems, and alcohol and drug misuse. Each offender will be assigned a key worker who will provide continuous support from sentencing through to release, including assistance with housing and employment. Starting Over began in 15 October 2013, funded with £2.7 million from MOPAC and local authority public health departments. Transport Industrial action over Tube Modernisation On 17 April, the RMT Union announced their intention to take industrial action over London Underground’s (LU) plans to modernise the Tube. The industrial action was planned to take place during two periods. 48hr commencing 21:30hrs Monday 28 April to 20:59 on Wednesday 30 April 72hr commencing 21:00hrs Monday 5 May to 20:59 Thursday 8 May In advance of the strike, TfL put in place a measures to ensure that the capital could keep moving during the industrial action, including the deployment of many thousands of staff and volunteer Travel Ambassadors drawn from TfL’s support functions who worked hard to help customers and road users make their journeys. During the strike, TfL managed to operate 50 per cent of Tube services, and carried up to 57 per cent of its usual passenger numbers, a record high for a strike. In addition, up to 80 per cent of stations were in service and around 90 per cent of the usual numbers of Oystercards were in use across the overall TfL network.

  • Update on Planning Obligations This Paper Will Be
    Finance and Policy Committee Date: 27 November 2012 Item 9: Update on Planning Obligations This paper will be considered in public 1 Summary 1.1 TfL is responsible for advising the Mayor on the transport issues associated with planning applications referred to him under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (GLA Act). TfL staff attend the weekly Mayoral Planning meetings and are involved in negotiating transport mitigation with developers and boroughs. 1.2 The issue of how effective TfL is at negotiating contributions from developers for transport infrastructure was raised by the Committee in the past. The Committee will be provided with an annual update on TfL’s work in this area. This paper provides the Committee with an update on: (a) Section 106 funding and delivery for developments that will contribute to the funding of Crossrail and other transport projects; (b) the Mayor’s and boroughs’ Community Infrastructure Levies; and (c) government proposals in the Growth and Infrastructure Bill to reform the planning system and the implications for planning obligations. 2 Recommendation 2.1 That the Committee note the report. 3 Development Activity 3.1 Receipts from developers are directly related to development activity. The economic conditions of the last few years have seen a significant downturn in development activity and as a result there have been fewer implemented planning permissions, particularly those involving major development proposals. However, the number of applications for planning permissions referred to the Mayor shown in Figure 1 continues to be a reasonably steady figure and is a reliable barometer for planned development activity; there are also signs that there may be an upturn in construction activity.

  • Quay House, Admirals Way, London, E14 3A
    DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 14/01/2019 Report of the Corporate Director of Place Classification: Unrestricted click here for case file Application for Planning Permission Reference PA/19/01462 Site Quay House, Admirals Way, London, E14 3AG Ward Canary Wharf Proposal Demolition of the existing building and redevelopment to provide a mixed use development comprising a hotel (Class C1) and serviced apartments (Class C1) with ancillary gym, retail, parking, landscaping and public realm works. Summary Grant Planning Permission subject to conditions Recommendation Applicant Quay House Admirals Way Land Ltd Architect/agent Savills Case Officer Kevin Crilly Key dates Application validated 08/07/2019 Public consultation finished on 23/08/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed development would deliver a single 40 storey building consisting of a 400 bed hotel and separate 279 bed serviced apartment use with an ancillary restaurant at ground floor level. In land use terms, given the sites location within the Isle of Dogs Opportunity Area and the Isle of Dogs Activity Area, a proposed hotel and serviced apartments is considered appropriate for this location. The proposed C1 uses would be in conformity with the London Plan emerging policy E10 and current policy 4.5 and is strongly supported by the GLA. The proposed uses would meet policy D.TC6 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan (2031). The height, massing and design are considered to appropriately respond to the local context. The building is considered to deliver a unique and high quality design which would be a positive contribution to the area. The landscaping works and the activation of the ‘Underline’ below the DLR is considered to be a positive improvement which would provide improved pedestrian access to the dockside and improve pedestrian routes towards Canary Wharf.

  • North Quay Radio and TV Interference Assessment
    NQ.PA.25 North Quay Radio and TV Interference Assessment Hoare Lea July 2020 NQ.PA.25 – Radio and TV Interference Assessment Overview Canary Wharf (North Quay) Ltd (“the Applicant”) are submitting applications for Outline Planning Permission (“OPP”) and Listed Building Consent (“LBC”) to enable the redevelopment of the North Quay site, Aspen Way, London (“the Site”). Two separate applications are being submitted as follows: • Application NQ.1: Outline Planning Application (all matters reserved) (“OPA”) - Application for the mixed-use redevelopment of the Site comprising demolition of existing buildings and structures and the erection of buildings comprising business floorspace, hotel/serviced apartments, residential, co-living, student housing, retail, community and leisure and sui generis uses with associated infrastructure, parking and servicing space, public realm, highways and access works; and • Application NQ.2: Listed Building Consent Application (“LBCA”) - To stabilise listed quay wall and any associated/necessary remedial works as well as demolition of the false quay in connection with Application NQ.1. Together the development proposed under Applications NQ.1 and NQ.2 are referred to as the “Proposed Development”. At the time of making the OPA, the Applicant is unable to determine exactly how much of the Proposed Development is likely to come forward in which land use. For this reason, the description of development provides the Applicant with flexibility as to the uses that could be undertaken on the Site. However, in order to ensure that the level of flexibility is appropriately restricted, the OPA seeks approval for three Control Documents which describe the principal components of the Proposed Development, define the parameters for the Proposed Development (the "Specified Parameters") and control how the Proposed Development will come forward in future.

  • LONDON HOTEL DEVELOPMENT MONITOR FACT SHEET 2008 London - New Hotel Room Supply 1989-2017F Introduction
    in partnership with LONDON HOTEL DEVELOPMENT MONITOR FACT SHEET 2008 London - New Hotel Room Supply 1989-2017f Introduction London & Partners and CBRE Hotels are pleased to present the first quarter 2014 London Hotel Development Monitor detailing new hotel openings, development “hot spots” and potential gaps in the capital. Limitations Information covers market facing hotels and excludes B&B’s, student accommodation and small hotels under 20 rooms. Purely speculative opportunities (ie those which are announced but for which no formal planning applications have been made) are also excluded. Notes During the first five months of 2014, nine hotels equivalent to approximately 1,500 bedrooms, entered the London hotel market. The above graph does not include rooms that could be built but have yet to confirm completion dates Across the city’s 33 Boroughs, there are currently 31 hotels under London - New Hotel Room Supply by Category 2014-2017f construction, adding approximately 4,700 bedrooms to London’s room stock. Longer-term pipeline developments over the next four years include approximately 27,900 bedrooms (256 hotels) categorised as “probable” (i.e. hotels with detailed planning permission granted). Alongside these, an estimated 20,900 bedrooms (187 hotels) are at the “possible” stage (i.e. hotels with outline planning permission that are likely to be constructed, or hotels likely to gain permission). Of this potential hotel supply, there is a strong skewing towards the budget and four-star categories over the next four years, with about 21,100 and 16,000 bedrooms being realised in each respectively. The Borough of Hillingdon remains the capital’s development “hot spot” in terms of additional rooms, marginally ahead of Tower Hamlets, while the City of London and Westminster vie for third and fourth places.

  • Q1 2009 CENTRAL LONDON Quarterly
    RESEARCH Q1 2009 CENTRAL LONDON Quarterly Highlights • Sentiment in the occupational market remained subdued in Q1 2009 with just 1.3 m sq ft of take-up across Central London, 70% below the long-term average level. • The delivery of new space and the continued release of tenant space to the market resulted in a 23% quarter-on-quarter increase in availability, which now totals 22.3 m sq ft. This is the largest single-quarter increase since 2001. • Occupier caution and increased supply continued to place rents under pressure across all markets. • Investment turnover fell to £626 m, its lowest level for 7 years, as the continued lack of available debt restricted market activity. Q1 2009 CENTRAL LONDON Quarterly • Take-up fell by 65% to 1.3 m sq ft, one of the lowest quarterly levels on record. Central • Availability increased as speculative schemes completed and tenants continued London to release space. The vacancy rates is now 10.0%. • Speculative construction activity continued to fall to 6.2 m sq ft, 35% lower than Overview last year, with only one construction start during the quarter. • Investment turnover fell to £626 m, the lowest for 7 years and a 70% drop on the previous quarter.
