Motion detail
Nicholas Rogers AM moved, and Caroline Russell AM seconded the following urgent motion:
“The Assembly notes with concern that the public hearing for the called-in planning application at the Former Stag Brewery in Mortlake has currently been scheduled for 27th July.
The Assembly further notes that whilst significant changes have been made to the application since it was called-in by the Mayor, following discussions between the GLA and the developer, local community groups have not been afforded the same opportunity to put forward their proposed changes and improvements to the scheme. In addition, concerns have been raised regarding the quality of reports, availability of documents, and a general lack of public involvement and consultation.
Officers have only very recently met face to face with the local community on June 22nd. The Assembly does not consider that one meeting so close to the date of the public hearing is sufficient to fully explore and investigate all the issues that were raised.
The Assembly therefore strongly requests that the Mayor delays the public hearing for this application, and instead arranges for a meaningful discussion between resident groups, the GLA, Richmond Council and developers, so that the residents’ proposed amendments can be properly and formally considered.”
Following debate and upon being put to a vote, the urgent motion was agreed (13 votes in favour and 0 votes against).
