24/01/2023 - Tiller Leisure Centre Energy Costs - Financial Support
The global energy crisis and price increases
have been compounded by the wider economic challenges faced by all
businesses, through increased supplier costs e.g., swimming pool
chemicals, inflation, interest rate rises, pay awards and the
general cost of living increases.
However, whilst this is a cross sector national issue, leisure
centres, and in particular those with swimming pools, due to their
high utility requirements, are being significantly impacted.
Tiller Leisure Centre has been subject to a significant increase in
energy costs as a result of an energy tariff change in October
2022. Without financial support to mitigate the increased energy
costs, Tiller Leisure Centre is not financially viable. As a result
the centre, or parts of the centre, such as the swimming pool,
would be subject to closure and or significantly increased leisure
centre costs for residents.
This report outlines the financial support required from the
Council to mitigate the ten-fold increase in energy costs at Tiller
Leisure Centre as a result of tariff changes that came into effect
in October 202

17/11/2022 - PV Project - Renewable Energy Generation to Council Assets: Approval to spend carbon offset contributions to meet key energy and sustainability targets
Approval is required to allocate and spend
carbon offsetting S106 contributions to the Photovoltaic (PV)
Project to allow delivery of renewable energy generation
technologies to be progressed and contracts to be awarded. Proposal
approved at Asset Management & Capital Delivery Board Meeting
20th June 2022.
The proposal is for a £950,000 PV project fully funded
through carbon offsetting contributions.
The delivery of the proposed project will help to tackle energy use
in the existing building stock, increase renewable energy
generation in the borough and offer support to meet the challenge
of energy price rises.
Upon delivery, the projects will reduce the operating costs through
reducing the amount of purchased energy required to run the
buildings. This will be achieved through generating electricity on
site for use in the buildings.
The initial desk top study has identified a number of potential
sites for installation of PV panels. These include:
• Jack Dash House
• Shadwell Centre
• Toby Club
• Toby Lane Depot Soanes Centre
• St Georges Town Hall
• The Hub, Victoria Park
• Ron Cain Pavillion,Victoria Park
• John Orwell Leisure Centre
• Mile End Park Leisure Centre
• Whitechapel Sports Centre
• Chrisp Streep Idea Store
• Cubitt Town Library
Following appointment of a contractor through the GLA Retrofit
Accelerator programme we will be able to undertake the investment
grade proposals and produce detailed specification for delivery on
to the sites. Where buildings are not deemed suitable for delivery
of PV then alternative sites will be investigated.
To assist in the accelerated delivery of the project LBTH have been
successful in securing a GLA grant for (£45,000) technical
services and project management support including:
• Project Management
• Investment grade proposal / design Review
• Commissioning and Acceptance
The GLA Grant is time sensitive and project completion is required
by July 2023 which required us to commence delivery in April
2023.

13/07/2022 - Adoption of the Tall Buildings SPD
The Tall Buildings Supplementary Planning
Document (SPD) seeks to provide detailed guidance on the
implementation of policies in the Tower Hamlets Local Plan 2031 -
in particular, Local Plan Policy D.DH6 (Tall Buildings). Due to
their scale and size, tall buildings have had a profound impact on
the character of the borough as well as the legibility of the urban
fabric and the image of London as a whole. In the right locations,
tall buildings have the potential to make significant positive
contributions to the character and image of the borough, and also
serve as beacons of growth and regeneration. In recent years,
London has seen a surge of tall buildings being planned and built
across the capital, with many located in places that previously
were not characterised by taller buildings. Tower Hamlets has
become a borough with a particular concentration of tall building
proposals. The latest New
London Architecture annual report on tall buildings identifies 96
in the pipeline within the borough, the largest pipeline of all
London boroughs. The SPD will assist in managing tall building
proposals by setting out a framework for assessment, a spatial
analysis,
contextual information, and principles, objectives and application
requirements applicable to tall building proposals. The SPD
provides further detail on the potential for tall buildings and
their height within the five tall building zones designated in the
Local Plan and on sites promoted as allocations in the emerging
Leaside Area Action Plan (LAAP). This potential is informed by an
understanding of the history, heritage, spatial arrangement,
character and townscape of different parts of the borough and by
the vision and established policy framework set out within
the
adopted Local Plan. As an adopted document, the Tall Buildings SPD
to further enable clear and robust guidance to inform and be
implemented in development proposals. The SPD will add guidance to
the design, location and development of tall buildings, ensuring
such development has a positive impact on the Boroughs housing,
employment and commercial aspirations as well as addressing the
overall impact that such developments can have on local
residents.
