Westferry Printworks Consent Order now public
Key points 2 to 6 on page 3
@RobertJenrick accepts his 14th Jan decision "was unlawful by reason of apparent bias" & that he made decision on that date so as to avoid 15th Jan decision on new CIL rates helping developer avoid £40m
1/
Robert Jenrick did not deal with developer dropping affordable housing % from 35% to 21%
Previous 2016 application was 20% affordable + land for school + money for new pontoons & no CIL
New twice the size 2019 planning application only increases affordable % to 21%?
2/
Sir Ed Lister, when faced with similar situation in 2016 when he approved 1st scheme on this site asked external consultants to calculate correct affordable housing = 20%
Jenrick should have done the same rather than accept 21% on a scheme twice as big but chose not to, why?

Construction noise thread
Hopefully you are enjoying some peace & quiet today but wonder why so much construction disruption in TH out of hours?
It maybe to do with the fact that @TowerHamletsNow is unusually lenient on developers
Only 16 enforcement actions all types in 2019
1/
In 2019 Tower Hamlets issued 16 enforcement actions in total
versus
Ealing 433
Newham 165
Southwark 86
Hackney 29
Ranked 26th out of 32 London Boroughs for enforcement actions
2/
But we have more construction related activity then anybody else
For housing starts + completion we ranked number one last year & every year for a decade now
Ealing with highest number of enforcement actions was 2nd highest deliverer of new homes!

The number of COVID cases appears to be in decline in Tower Hamlets
@TowerHamletsNow does not seem to track nor collate this data so every few days I will report the stats
Health warning this only shows confirmed cases & testing for all with symptoms only announced Monday
1/
Source will be this GLA page
data.london.gov.uk/dataset/corona…
Picture is their graph of cases per day in each Borough TOW middle left is us
Relatively speaking lower number of cases in TH 629 then others, Crowdon 1,491
Will do deaths later & excess deaths but not easy to collate
2/
This is number of new cases reported in Tower Hamlets in recent days
But at this point not everybody was being tested (although more then in March)
Testing for all WITH symptoms announced 18th May, will take time for this roll out
+ many infected show no symptoms
But useful

@RobertJenrick makes a planning decision on Westferry Printworks but now "He accepted that the decision letter was unlawful by reason of apparent bias and should be quashed"
Given that £30-50 million was at stake

I think @RobertJenrick needs to publish all correspondence between himself & the developer Northern & Shell and that it should be investigated by the appropriate authorities given the amount of money at stake
Why did he make the decision when he did against inspectors advice?
2/
His decision was the clincher for me quitting the @conservatives in February. It was so obvious that there was something wrong with his decision & the timing of it (the CIL issue was mentioned in correspondence as a problem)
Was he doing a favour for the developer?
