Byz DOVC.Indd WESTBROOK PARTNERS Dear Residents, Neighbours and Friends, 15 March 2018 Dolphin Square: The Next 100 Years Frequently Asked Questions and Our Responses As you may be aware, we have submitted a Planning Application to Westminster City Council setting out how we plan to invest in Dolphin Square to rejuvenate it and to secure its future for The Next 100 Years. This application followed a series of meetings with residents, neighbours and other local stakeholders about our Proposals, together with two public exhibitions, in a process which started back in April 2017. Many of you attended our meetings and exhibitions and we are grateful to everyone who has taken part in our consultation, provided feedback and kept in touch. We very much appreciate the contributions to date which will help to shape the future of Dolphin Square. We want to get in touch again to make sure that the residents and neighbours of Dolphin Square are clear about our Proposals and to reaffi rm our reassurances to you. We would like to reiterate that all tenants will have the opportunity to remain as residents of Dolphin Square during construction and after completion of the works, if they wish to, but it is likely that they will need to move fl ats for a period of time during the works (see page 8 for further details). If we are successful with our Planning Application, then we do not expect to start moving residents before 2020. Our current view is that the works will take approximately 5 years to complete. Once we have an approval from the Council, which we expect in the third quarter of this year, we will be able to develop detailed construction management and sequencing plans and talk to you about how the project will affect you individually. Although there will inevitably be a period of disruption, our team have given careful consideration to how this will affect existing tenants (Open Market (around 80% of residents) and ‘Option B’ (Protected)) and how to minimise the impact. Our primary focus is to have an ongoing dialogue with all of our tenants at the Square to ensure that disruption and inconvenience are kept to an absolute minimum. Proposed new Chichester Street entrance PUBLISHED BY DOLPHIN SQUARE LIMITED, CHICHESTER STREET, LONDON SW1V 3LX 1 Starting last month, we have commenced individual discussions with tenants and we are aware that some residents (both Open Market and Option B) have a complex set of needs that will need to be addressed. These ongoing conversations will ensure that we are fully aware of individuals’ circumstances and how we can best assist them throughout the life of the project. We remain committed to continuing to talk to all of you about our plans throughout the planning and construction process and we have set out below our answers to some ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ about our Proposals and a number of matters which have been raised during the planning consultation process so far. Although we have now formally made the Planning Application, our Proposals remain subject to receiving the consent of Westminster City Council, detailed interior design and construction management planning and all of the conditions which will be imposed by the Council when they grant us Planning Permission. A copy of the full Planning Application (with all supporting documentation) can be found on Westminster’s website www.westminster.gov.uk/planning . The reference for our Planning Application is: 18/01099/FULL. If you would like any further information about the Proposals, please contact us on 020 3900 3676 or via email at [email protected] and we will be happy to discuss with you in further detail.

Conservation Area and as such, this means that we can make changes, but changes must be made very sensitively • It does not mean that the buildings and Garden cannot be altered, extended or enhanced • We believe that Dolphin Square is sufficiently robust to accept change within its well-established character. We believe our Proposals will better reveal the Conservation Area, particularly by increasing visibility and access to the landscaping • We are being advised on conservation matters by the leading heritage consultant, Richard Coleman, and his team at City Designer (www.citydesigner.com) • Richard was Deputy Secretary for 13 years of the Royal Fine Art Commission (the precursor to the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment) where he developed unique skills in the field of architecture, urban design and conservation.

    34th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – 12th September 2019 This is my Thirty-Fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 5th July – 29th August 2019. Executive Summary Cycleway 4 construction to start ahead of schedule On 27 August, I announced that the next section of Cycleway 4 will start ahead of schedule. Once complete, Cycleway 4 will add 10km of segregated cycle route to London’s network – enabling thousands more people to enjoy the benefits of this major new route between Tower Bridge and Greenwich sooner. New pedestrian crossings are set to make the area much easier for people walking to get around. Notting Hill Carnival On Sunday 25 August, I spent the afternoon enjoying the music, magnificent parade costumes and sunshine at Notting Hill Carnival. Currently in its 53rd year, it is a celebration of Caribbean culture, that attracted an estimated 1 million people across the weekend. The event would not have been the success it was without the hard work of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, the public and the voluntary agencies involved, and I thank them for their dedication. New figures show year of stability for London’s pubs On 24 August, new City Hall research shows the number of pubs in London remained stable between 2017 and 2018 after falling by more than a quarter since 2001 London pubs have been a key part of our capital’s heritage for generations, helping to unite Londoners and acting as a vital hub in the community.
