  • THE CHARACTER of the LANDSCAPE 2.39 the Thames
    THE CHARACTER OF THE LANDSCAPE 2.39 The Thames enters the Greater London Area at Hampton. From Hampton to Erith, the river fl ows through the metropolis; an urban area even though much of the riverside is verdant open space, particularly in the fi rst stretch between Hampton and Kew. 2.40 The character of the river is wonderfully varied and this chapter concentrates on understanding how that variety works. We have deliberately avoided detailed uniform design guidelines, such as standard building setbacks from the water’s edge. At this level, such guidelines would tend to stifl e rather than encourage the variety in character. Instead we have tried to highlight the main factors which determine the landscape character and propose recommendations to conserve and enhance it. 2.41 Landscape Character Guidance LC 1: New development and new initiatives within the Strategy area should be judged against the paramount aim of conserving and enhancing the unique character of the Thames Landscape as defi ned in the Strategy. The River 2.42 Although, being a physical boundary, the river is often on the periphery of county and local authority jurisdictions, it is essentially the centre of the landscape. The Thames has carved the terraces and banks that line its course, the valley sides drain down to its edges and the water acts as the main visual and physical focus. It is a dynamic force, constantly changing with the tide and refl ecting the wind and the weather on its surface. 2.43 Downstream of the great expanse of water at the confl uence with the Wey, the Thames fl ows from west to east – the Desborough Cut by-passing the large meander near Shepperton.
