These notes are based upon 14 meetings between 6th-9th October 2015, plus one further meeting in January 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and TfL. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by TfL (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by TfL themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

PA/13/03049 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 The proposal Demolition of existing vehicle workshop and erection of extension to the prayer hall at the East London Mosque, residential development comprising 241 open market and affordable housing units including studio, one, two, three and four bedroom apartments in buildings up to 18 storeys, basement parking, public realm improvements, pedestrian link from Fieldgate Street to Whitechapel Road. The applicant The applicant is Alyjiso and Fieldgate Ltd. and the architect is Webb Gray. Strategic issues The development of this mixed-use scheme accommodates both the extension of the East London Mosque and residential uses on a constrained site within the City Fringe Opportunity Area. The proposal is broadly in accordance with strategic planning policy, and is supported. However, further discussion is required regarding housing quality, children’s play space provision, inclusive design, sustainability and transport. Recommendation That Tower Hamlets Council be advised that while the application is generally acceptable in strategic planning terms the application does not comply with the London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 86 of this report; but that the possible remedies set out in this paragraph could address these deficiencies. Context 1 On the 20 January 2014 the Mayor of London received documents from Tower Hamlets Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses.
