I haven't seen the decision, but when the Mayor of London states that he is content for the local authority to determine the application itself, he is merely relinquishing his potential for influencing the application. It looks as if there may have been some gushing by planning officers in the report, but what concerns the Mayor is whether there are strategic implications of any development (which are supposed to be reflected in regional planning guidance, i.e. the London Plan). If there aren't, the local planning authority is the appropriate body to make the decision alone.
