Written Evidence Submitted by Councillor Andrew Wood [FPS 137]
Written evidence submitted by Councillor Andrew Wood [FPS 137] I am the Councillor for Canary Wharf ward in Tower Hamlets, east London, it has the highest and densest new build residential developments in western Europe, so we have a rather unique perspective on planning. We do not have a problem in delivering lots of new homes, we deliver more than our fair share but the problems we have are indicative of other issues with the existing and proposed new planning system. My ward occupies about 40% of the Isle of Dogs and South Poplar area which is the single most important small growth area in the United Kingdom in terms of housing and jobs. For example, the GLA has a Maximum growth forecast for an additional 49,000 homes + 110,000 jobs in this small area. I also helped found the Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Planning forum, the largest in the country based on population size, circa 40,000 people. Our 2nd attempt at a Neighbourhood Plan goes to referendum next May 2021. The Isle of Dogs and South Poplar area is likely to be tasked to deliver 1.04% of the governments new housing targets in an area you can walk across in thirty minutes and therefore merits special consideration. That % is likely to increase given political complaints elsewhere in England and an unwillingness to confront the green belt. Tower Hamlets Council does not complain about its targets unlike some others. But it has had more development than any other part of the UK and Tower Hamlets has been the fastest growing local authority for at least the last twenty years and is the number one recipient of New Homes Bonus in the country every year, £189 million since 2011.

20161102 5Yrhls Statement (Final Ver )
London Borough of Tower Hamlets Assessment of 5 Year Housing Land Supply, position at April 2016 London Borough of Tower Hamlets Assessment of 5 Year Housing Land Supply, position at April 2016 (Published November 2016) 1. Introduction 1.1 The government requires local planning authorities to identify and maintain a five year supply of deliverable land for housing. This document sets out London Borough of Tower Hamlets’ five year supply position as of 1 April 2016. The assessment takes into account known completions at the end of March 2016, with the “five year period” covering between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2021. 1.2 As at 1 April 2016, the Council is able to demonstrate a deliverable supply of 5.1 years or 21,502 homes over 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2021. The assessment assumes past under delivery would be addressed within the next five years of the plan and includes an additional 5% buffer requirement. 2. National policy requirement 2.1 Paragraph 47 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to identify and update annually a supply of specific “deliverable” housing sites sufficient to provide five years’ worth of housing supply against their housing requirement - together with an additional buffer requirement of 5% or 20% where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing (moved forward from later in the plan period). 2.2 Paragraph 49 of the NPPF is clear that where the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing sites, relevant policies for the supply of housing should not be considered “up to date” – for decision taking, this means, development proposal for housing should be approved unless doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits or specific policies in the NPPF indicate development should be restricted.
