Is the Mayor concerned that LB Tower Hamlets officers recommended approval for Ballymore’s Cuba Street planning application before London Fire Brigade had submitted its views?

It’s clear that the fundamental problem lies with the Building Regulations, which are simply not fit for purpose. My London Plan and recently published draft London Plan Guidance on Fire Safety require all development to achieve the highest standards in fire safety, and I’m pleased that this provides the basis for robust submissions from the London Fire Brigade and opportunities to raise concerns they have about proposed schemes.
