    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Hendon College June 1994 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) has a statutory duty to ensure that there are satisfactory arrangements to assess the quality of provision in the further education sector. It discharges this duty in part through its inspectorate, which reports on each college in the sector every four years. The Council’s inspectorate also assesses and reports on a national basis in specific curriculum areas and advises the Council’s quality assessment committee. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are given in FEFC Circular 93/28. In the course of inspecting colleges, inspectors are expected to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out clearly in their reports. Inspectors also summarise their judgements on the balance between strengths and weaknesses using a five-point scale. Each grade on the scale has the following descriptor: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.

    LOCATION: Grahame Park, London, NW9 5XA. REFERENCE: 19/5493/OUT Received: 9 October 2019 Accepted: 9 October 2019 WARD: Colindale Expiry: 8 January 2020 APPLICANT: Choices for Grahame Park/Notting Hill Genesis PROPOSAL: Hybrid planning application for the demolition of 630 residential units and existing commercial, retail and community floorspace, and the phased redevelopment of Plots 10-12 of Grahame Park comprising a full planning application for the redevelopment of Plot A and an outline planning application for the redevelopment of Plots B to Q for up to 2,088 residential units and up to 5,950sq.m (GEA) of flexible non-residential floorspace. Full planning permission is sought for the demolition of 113 existing homes and the redevelopment of Plot A comprising the erection of 5 buildings between 3 and 11 storeys to provide 209 new homes and 440sq.m (GEA) of non-residential floorspace (Use Class A1, A2, A3, B1), landscape, public open space and public realm, associated car parking, cycle spaces and other associated works. Application Background and Summary Grahame Park Estate is the largest council housing estate in the borough. Although popular with many early residents when it was first built in the 1970s, significant problems arose due to a combination of factors including the concentration of vulnerable and disadvantaged people and the estate’s design which isolates it from the surrounding areas. As a result, Grahame Park has suffered from serious decline and socio-economic problems over the years. A tenants participation survey in 1999 identified a number of issues including the poor physical environment and poor image, unsafe and difficult circulation routes owing to the Radburn style separation of vehicles and pedestrians, overcrowding and inappropriate occupancy for large families, a high turnover of stock, poorly placed and poorly integrated local facilities and poor quality of shopping choice.
