Thank you for your request for information, that was received on 8

The request is as follows:

In May last year you conducted an audit of affordable housing provision,

December last year.

Please provide all internal communications and those with L&Q regarding
these enforcement actions. 

 
We are dealing with your request under the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004 and we aim to send a response by 8 March 2023.
 
The Environmental Information Regulations 2004 may restrict the release of
some or all of the information you have requested. We will carry out an
assessment and if any exceptions apply to some or all of the information
then we might not provide that information to you. We will inform you if
this is the case and advise you of your rights to request an internal
review and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
 
We will also advise you if we cannot provide you with the information
requested for any other reason together with the reason(s) why and details
of how you may appeal (if appropriate).

Dear Mr Flynn,

Apologies for not getting back sooner to you on this. However, I have received the following clarification regarding Site 7 from our Planning Enforcement team:

'' When London & Quadrant provided their returns for site 1 they only linked Roffo Court to application 07/CO/0046. They did provide returns for Arments Court, Totter Court. Hitard Court, Boundary Lane and Bradenham close. At first it appeared that there was an underprovision but that is not the case. It was a failure to link the other buildings to this permission.''

My understanding is there was no breach in the first instance, but if there is any further information you require, please do let me know.

Yours sincerely,

Martyna Plewniak
