§ Mr. SoleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much open space is included in the proposed HAT area in Lambeth; and how much public open space will remain if the consultants' proposals for the HAT in this area are implemented.
§ Mr. TrippierThe consultants' proposals are illustrative only and were developed simply to give an indication of what could be done to the estates and at what cost. Once established, a trust would be under a duty to consult those who live in its area about its proposals.
There is an estimated 5.0 Ha of open space in the proposed trust in Lambeth comprising approximately 2.7 Ha of public open space and approximately 2.3 Ha of semi-private open space. The illustrative proposals would increase the area of public open space to a total of approximately 3.3 Ha and provide additional private gardens.
