  • Objection to the Draft London Plan: Consultation Response
    Objection to the Draft London Plan: consultation response 4 Estates Forum: summary of objection The 4 Estates Forum is made up of elected representatives of residents from One Housing Group’s (OHG) 2,027 homes on four estates on the Isle of Dogs, (Barkantine, Kingsbridge, Samuda, and St Johns). We object to the London Plan and request to attend the Examination in Public. Our objection is on the grounds that the Plan’s housing target for the Isle of Dogs and South Poplar Opportunity Area (OA) is partly based on assumptions for net additional units which could only be built after the demolition of many of our homes. We believe that the draft London Plan as it stands contravenes planning guidance and principles in two main ways: a) The GLA’s Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA): the principle that the element of a GLA housing target for an area that is assumed to come from estate ‘redevelopments’ should not influence future planning decisions in individual cases. b) The Mayor of London’s draft Best Practice Guide to Estate Regeneration: the guidance that estates should only be redeveloped with residents’ support. Proposals, which may include the redevelopment our estates, are at an early stage. Results of a stock condition survey won’t be published until February 2018. The next stage will be option appraisal, which will take several months, only then could resident support be assessed. These housing targets are premature. c) Any planning housing target that assumes net additional units based on the demolition of homes before resident consultation has even started risks unduly influencing the future planning decision, and undermining residents’ confidence that a consultation process is genuinely open to options that don’t demolish their homes.

For the first time this year, we will be publishing a separate magazine, funded through sponsorship, that will capture the news, stories and events that made 2011/12 special. We are continuing to produce an audio recording that gives an overview of what is happening at the Trust, including interviews with key staff and features on different areas of the Trust. If you would like to comment on our annual report, or would like a printed copy, please do not hesitate to contact me. Jessamy Kinghorn [email protected] 0121 507 5307 2 Welcome from the new Chairman I’d like to invite you to read the annual report for Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust for 2011/12 and take the opportunity to introduce myself as the newly appointed Chairman for the Trust. I took up post on 1st April 2012 and must acknowledge the work of the previous Chair Sue Davis, and the interim Chairman Roger Trotman and the significant contribution they have both made. This annual review shows strong performance during the year, as well as some areas for improvement. The next few years are going to be very challenging for the whole of the NHS. The new Health and Social Care Act presents us with both challenges and opportunities to improve the care we give patients.

  • APPENDIX a – WRITTEN RESPONSES to QUESTIONS THAT WERE NOT PUT at the FULL COUNCIL MEETING (18 January 2017)
    APPENDIX A – WRITTEN RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS THAT WERE NOT PUT AT THE FULL COUNCIL MEETING (18 January 2017) 6.1 Question from Abdul Motin Despite assurance from the Mayor at various public meetings before and after the last Mayoral election that the Mayor would not do without the residents consent; why has the Mayor in his last Cabinet papers identified the Barkentine, and Samuda Estate as a Regeneration Opportunity Area, without consulting us - the resident? Is this a print error? Or was a false promise made by the Mayor at the time of his speech to us? Response from the Mayor Thank your for your question. I assume your question relates to the Draft Local Plan, which was approved at Cabinet for public consultation last year. I would note that the Plan is a public consultation document for all interested parties (including residents) to consider and respond to and we welcome comments on how its content could be improved and strengthened As regards your specific question about the Barkantine and Samuda Estates you are correct that I have made and stand by my pledge that residents must be thoroughly consulted and in agreement on any plans to significantly regenerate the area. Whilst I accept that unfortunately the maps could be read to suggest an intention to redevelop the area, I am clear, as paragraph 5.1.7 of the report explains, that the information contained on the maps is conceptual and is not intended to be prescriptive with definite boundaries. Although the Draft Local Plan makes clear that its contents are for consultation and discussion (and are not policy, nor do they inform planning application decisions) to avoid any further confusion on this matter I have instructed officers to ensure that the wording at the next stage of the Local Plan makes clear that I stand by my commitment to seek resident support for any significant regeneration of the Barkantine and Samuda.
