Public Question Time (15 Minutes)
To receive any questions from members of the public which have been submitted in advance of the meeting in accordance with the cabinet procedure rules. The deadline for the receipt of public questions is midnight Wednesday 25 October 2017. Minutes: 1. Public Question from Mark Bacon
What is the council's expectations for extension of the London Bridge Quarter high-rise zone eastwards from Guys Hospital along St Thomas Street - and will planners ensure the historic character and welcoming nature of Bermondsey Street, with its maximum height of 5 storeys throughout, is respected and is not overshadowed?
Response by the Cabinet Member for Regeneration and New Homes
The New Southwark Plan sets out a vision for Bermondsey and London Bridge. This states that development should complement the distinct character of Bermondsey Street. Bermondsey Street is largely within the Bermondsey Street Conservation Area. As such, any redevelopment proposal within the conservation area or within the vicinity of the conservation area must conserve and enhance the significance of conservation areas taking into account their local character, appearance and positive characteristics published in Conservation Area Appraisals (as required in policy P17 – Conservation areas).
Development proposal for tall buildings would be assessed against the borough-wide tall buildings policy (P14 – Tall buildings). The New Southwark Plan identifies two potential development sites on St Thomas Street. The design and accessibility guidance for both sites states that taller buildings should be located towards the west of the site and not detract from the primacy of the Shard. Comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment of the sites could include taller buildings subject to consideration of impacts.
Supplemental question
Mark Bacon asked whether the planning committee will reference the New Southwark Plan in planning applications.
Councillor Mark Williams responded that any new planning applications have to be considered on their own merits and that developments must demonstrate significant benefits for the area. It was clear that landowners would need to work together in this regard and to comply with good design principles. The Southwark Plan would not be adopted until next year and the council would do all that it can to ensure that any development respects and provides real benefits for the area.
2. Public Question from Toby Eckersley
What are the current government-imposed housing revenue account (HRA) and other borrowing limits and how much leeway is there for Southwark to increase borrowings under each relevant limit?
Response by Cabinet Member for Finance, Modernisation and Performance
The Local Government Act 2003 requires the Authority to have regard to the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy’s Prudential Code for Capital Finance in Local Authorities 2011 when determining how much money it can afford to borrow. The objectives of the Prudential Code are to ensure, within a clear framework, that the capital investment plans of local authorities are affordable, prudent and sustainable, and that decisions are taken in accordance with good professional practice.
The two primary restrictions on local government borrowing are the:
· HRA Indebtedness Limit · Authorised Limit for External Debt
Our headroom for borrowing, in accordance with the prudential code is set out below:
· £184m Housing Revenue purposes · £637m for General Fund
Please see below for further information on this headroom.

Deputation Requests
To consider any deputation requests. The deadline for the receipt of deputation requests is midnight Wednesday 25 October 2017. Supporting documents: Minutes: The deputation requests had not been circulated five clear days in advance of the meeting. The chair agreed to accept these as urgent as the requests had been received in line with the constitutional deadline for the receipt of deputation requests. Two requests were received after the deadline, which the chair agreed to accept for reasons of urgency and lateness.
RESOLVED:
That the deputation requests be received.
On behalf of dog owners in Southwark
The deputation spokesperson addressed the meeting in respect of the introduction of public space protection orders (PSPOs) to tackle dog related anti-social behaviour. The deputation expressed their dissatisfaction with the process surrounding the recently proposed Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs), the restrictions on dog owners and the approach taken to gaining new powers. The deputation outlined the impact of the consultation process and expressed their views on why they felt this process was flawed.
Friends of Nunhead Cemetery
The deputation wished to make the case for restrictions on dogs in Nunhead Cemetery over and above those recommended by officers in the report, relating to the introduction of Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs). The deputation expressed the view that dogs should be permitted in the cemetery, but that they should be kept on leads in all areas and at all times. It was argued that having dog controls in cemeteries was the norm and a survey of London Boroughs demonstrated that most councils excluded dogs completely from the cemetery. The council’s consultation proposed a maximum of 4 dogs per walker and is believed that Southwark should keep to this number (73% agreed or strongly agreed).
Home care workers
Councillor Victoria Mills having declared a disclosable pecuniary interest, withdrew from the meeting while this deputation was being heard and discussed.
Sue Plain addressed the cabinet on behalf of home care workers in respect of cross referencing the fairer futures procurement strategy and trade union recognition. Home care workers were disproportionately female and may experience elements of bad practice; they therefore required union support and assistance. It was in this context that concern was expressed about the recognition of trade unions. Individuals on their own often felt unable to complain and require union support to do so. Sue Plain suggested a number of amendments to elements of the home care report to reinforce trade union recognition.
Councillor Victoria Mills returned to the meeting at the conclusion of this deputation.
Leaseholders, Northchurch, Aylesbury Estate
The leaseholders referred to various cabinet reports/decisions and the lack of reference within these to the compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) required. Additionally leaseholders had been informed at a meeting on 9 May 2017 that their properties were not required for CPO. Confirmation had been received from the planning department that the original plans had not changed regarding Northchurch. The deputation were therefore querying why a CPO was needed and, felt that the cabinet were misled on the 29 September 2017 and 9 May 2017. It was explained that there were still no new planning applications, so ... view the full minutes text for item 7. |
