  • Jinder Ubhi Dear Sadiq Khan, I Have Consulted with Members of The
    Jinder Ubhi From: Laurie Baker Sent: 27 February 2018 19:38 To: Londonplan Cc: Peter Heath Subject: New draft London Plan Dear Sadiq Khan, I have consulted with members of the London Geodiversity Partnership (LGP) and these are the comments of the Partnership on the geodiversity aspects of the draft London Plan: Comments on Policy G9 Geodiversity In general there is an improvement on this section of the previous London Plan. Policy G9 is divided into two parts. On Development Plans, Part A, 1) and 2) are identical to the previous wording; do you see the previous reference to London’s Foundations as superfluous in the policy. For development proposals, Part B says “where relevant” but this is unnecessary. In B 2), developments should also protect SSSIs. In paragraph 8.9.2, when referring to SSSIs it should say “Interest” not “Importance” The paragraph states that “London’s geodiversity Sites are shown in Figure 8.1”. However, it says “National/Regional Geodiversity Importance” and the LGP would like SSSIs to be shown. (Peter: Does the map layer I sent you from Natural England work for you?) As they are part of the Plan, LGP would like LIGS also to appear (with correct LF numbers) on figure 8.1. On Figure 8.1, although it says the reference numbers come from SPG 2012, they bear no relation to London’s Foundations. The numbering of sites in LF should be used. In the table below, I have tried to allocate the number given in figure 8.1 to show the problem. I have tabulated the sites below, with the new sites 60‐72 marked with red numbers.

  • English Nature Research Report
    Vatural Area: 33. East Anglian Plain Geological Sigaificance: Outstanding (provisional) General geological character: The solid geology of the East Anglian Natural Area is mainly underlain by Jpper Cretaceous chalk. This very pure limestone was laid down on the floor of a tropical sea between 97 md 74 Ma. Locally the chalk is rich in fossils including sea-urchins and bivalves. Overlying much of the ;halk is a complex sequence of Quaternary deposits (deposited over the last 2 Ma) showing changes in Aimate and environment from both cold (glacial) and temperate (interglacial) periods. These sediments hostcompletely obscure the underlying chalk and it is their composition which gives the Natural Area its :haacter. The base of the Quaternary sequence is the early Pleistocene Crag deposits which are marine jcdiments of*shelly muds and sands, often containing temperate marinc molluscan faunas. However, the nost extensive and thickest Quaternary sediments consist of glacial sands, gravels and clays deposited by the 4nglian ice sheet as it advanced across the area around 300,000 to 250,000 years BP. These deposits are ;ollectivcly known as 'boulder clay' and their calcareous nature reflects glacial erosion and transportation of he chalk bedrock beneath. The Anglian glaciation interrupted a well-developed fluvial network of eastward flowing rivers, and patches of these preglacial river gravels are still found within the area. Many localitites show river gravels related to the early development of the River Thames, which crossed this area prior to jiversion by the Anglian ice sheet. These sites are important for Quaternary stratigraphy (including records Jf climate change) because they can be correlated with sedirnents in other parts of Britain and abroad.
