The Council has published its 2019 housing action plan 12 months late & does not mention cladding as an issue!
I was sent it this month (although report says final April 2021)
Should have been published within 6 months of 13th Feb 2020
It's 2020 housing

action plan should have been published within 6 months of 19th Jan 2021 but has not been yet
These are important documents because in both years we missed our housing targets
Also not consulted on as gov. suggests
This has consequences as means new higher housing targets

We now have to deliver 4,167 homes a year not 3,473 homes!
57% of them in the Isle of Dogs & S Poplar area according to the Council's Local Plan!
This will be hard as depends on large-scale developments coming forward but Council is slow to make decisions i.e. ASDA!

The report repeats this map from the Councils Local Plan
Purple patches show where Council want new housing to be built - note focus on E14
Plus areas with good transport (District line stns) & social infrastructure have no site allocations
Council very dependent on housing

delivery in E14 area
But I doubt we can meet new higher targets
Report mentions Brexit & Covid as factors affecting new housing delivery but not fire safety & cladding issues which I think is interesting
But while I have been asking for these 2 reports - none of this has gone

through normal Council reporting channels, no Cabinet report for example
Also some weird numbers in their Tower Hamlets Trajectory 2020 -2025 - their forecast of new home deliveries is wrong (I need to do my own version)
