<p>We are at the meeting of the City Planning and Transportation meeting this morning where the City has come up with a wizard wheeze to avoid dealing with the planning decision for the Richard Cloudesley School site.</p>
<p>The RCS site straddles the boundary between Islington and the City, so the City planners have decided that the best way of dealing with the planning application for RCS is to let Islington make the decision. In the jargon, they will delegate their powers to the Islington planning committee.</p>
<p>Late on Friday afternoon the chief planning officer for the City, Annie Hampson added an emergency item to the agenda for this morning’s meeting and that is why we are here.</p>
<p>Their argument is that most of the site is in Islington. This ignores that most of the effect of the development will be on residents in the City. </p>
<ul>
<li>55 Flats in Golden Lane will lose more daylight than BRE guidelines,</li>
<li>The new school playground will grossly exceed residential noise limits,</li>
<li>The layout blocks key views,</li>
<li>Public open space will be reduced,</li>
<li>The new development will overlook residential rooms,</li>
<li>The design has a poor relationship to the Grade II and II* listed estate.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sir Mark Boleat, planning committee member, has expressed the view that councillors should be excluded from the planning process because they are subject to lobbying by the residents who vote for them. We already have issues where our elected representatives are outnumbered by councillors elected by business, now the last thread of democracy is about to be cut by this measure.</p>
<p>We will let you know what they decide.</p>

<p>Following the consultations last month and the comments that were made by residents; here is the first formal response from CommComm, on behalf of the City of London, summarising the feedback that they have received from all of us.</p>
<p>This report does not give any decisions on the changes that we have requested. It presents the majority of the points we have raised and it also justifies the existing scheme by putting their case alongside ours. It would be interesting to hear your views, but at present it does not offer any reassurance that any of the modest amendments we have asked for will be made and it appears that the amount and density of housing will not be reduced.</p>
<p>Apparently we will be given a further two weeks (until 31<sup>st</sup> March) to send in any further comments, suggestions and ideas. These are a critical two weeks with elections coming up and the Wardmote.</p> Video Presentation by GLERA on the location of the Proposed School Halltag:goldenlaneestate.org,2017-03-08:2323372:Topic:544252017-03-08T05:01:05.023ZCharles Humphrieshttp://goldenlaneestate.org/profile/CharlesHumphries
