Arlington House S20 2025

 No evidence has been supplied of sparling concrete from the East and West elevations despite requests to report on this separately and repeated requests for evidence

 Meeting 26 Jan:  The sliding windows will be removed and taken to the undercroft where cracked glass will be replaced together with retaining rubber.  The felt sealing strips will not be changed, not will the windows be adjusted to fit together or to the frame.  The frame will be polished from the scaffolding but will almost immediately re-oxidize . It was not clear if the sliding windows would be polished.

 Previous surveys were carried out on the reinforcing. They established that the reinforcing was "as new" where protected and the survey took far longer than planned because of the high density of the concrete.

 The only concrete loss to the North and South has been superficial and caused by shallow depth of reinforcing. Whilst even small falling slivers of concrete is clearly a risk to people below, this is not a structural danger. In the past, treatment with rust preventer has solved the problem.  The abseiling technicians who chipped off potential slivers failed to rust-treat the exposed rebar despite this being flagged to the managing agent - so it's a managing agent responsibility to rectify.

 Clearly all the windows of MetProp retained flats are owned by MetProp and costs related to them are not appropriate to be added to the service charge.  Some 36 flats' leases specify the windows as per of the demise.  So, half of the flats are excluded from the scheme. 

 Bale @ Scrutiny 11/2/2026: Discussions are ongoing about construction of a doctors' surgery and hotel.  Implication:  a reason neither MetProp nor TDC Planning will say the Tesco consent is expired.  Therefore the Unilateral Undertaking to pay for window replacement is still extant
