NRA Thames Region 4 Brenl & Crane CMP DRAFT CATCHMENT VISION FOR THE BRENT AND CRANE The urbanised nature of the Brent and Crane catchments dictates the problems and issues that affect the water environment. Whilst it is unlikely that the balance of land uses will change significantly, future land use management will provide opportunities to enhance the water environment. At present both the Brent and Crane catchments have predominately poor and fair water quality respectively which affects the ecological and recreational benefit that can be gained from the rivers, streams and canals. It is therefore essential that in order to breathe new life into the catchments, water quality issues should take the highest priority and form the key objective for the catchments. In trying to solve the problems within the catchments the NRA must have the full support of the community. Without educating and informing the public of our ideas for future management, little practical benefit may ever be achieved. In order to achieve this plan’s vision of a healthy water environment for the Brent and Crane catchments, the following five objectives will need to be tackled: • Identify sources of pollution within Ifie catchments and concentrate initial investigations on both the Mutton and Wealdstone Brooks. • Continue to provide adequate flood protection for the public and look at the feasibility of future schemes on the Edg ware and Deans Brook. • Promote and enhance recreational opportunities upon the rivers, Grand Union Canal and Bt'ent Reservoir, where it is appropriate to do so. • Seek opportunities to enhance stretches of visually and ecologically degraded river channels and corridors. This is especially relevant to the redevelopment of the Brent Cross Centre and possible development of Heathrow Airport. • Work in partnership with various Local Agenda 21 initiatives and community groups to develop new ideas and initiatives for the future. This is a draft catchment vision which will be developed further after the consultation process. The version that will appear in the Action Plan may include targets for achieving these five objectives. NRA Thames Region 5 Brent & Crane CMP SECTION 1 MANAGING THE WATER ENVIRONMENT The purpose of this section is to highlight the importance of integrated management of the water environment and to outline the key role of the NRA. It describes the Catchment Management Planning process and the purpose of this Consultation Report. NRA Thames Region 7 Brent & Crane CMP 1 MANAGING THE WATER ENVIRONMENT Our Water Environment The quality of our water environment and the way in which it is managed matters to all of us. Our health depends on the availability and purity of water supplies, and the way we dispose of waste water. Thames Region is highly populated and has the greatest use and reuse of water of any part of the country. These pressures call for the careful management of water abstraction and effluent disposal. Many householders and businesses rely on flood alleviation works and flood warning schemes to reduce the risk of flooding. Visitors, as well as local communities, benefit from the amenity and recreational opportunities offered by the Region’s rivers, canals and lakes. The water environment also supports a wide variety of habitats which are home to a range of plants and animals. Conservation and enhancement of these is fundamental to the well being of the Region’s natural resources. This document is a first step in the process called Catchment Management Planning, initiated by the National Rivers Authority (NRA). It provides a focus for those concerned with the future health of the catchments of the Brent and Crane rivers. A catchment being a discrete geographical unit based on natural surface water drainage areas. The NRA Role Established in 1989, the NRA is the principal agency responsible for safeguarding and improving the water environment in England and Wales, with statutory responsibilities for: water resources, water quality, pollution control, flood defence, fisheries, recreation, conservation and navigation. The Environment Agency will come into being during 1996, drawing together the responsibilities of the NRA, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP) and Waste Regulation Authorities. The Secretary of State for the Environment, John Gummer, has said of the Agency that: "It will, first of all need to take an integrated approach to providing effective environmental protection, integrated to take account of impacts on air, water and land and integrated geographically so that interconnected systems such as river catchments are considered as a whole". The NRA anticipate that the Catchment Management Planning process will continue to play an important role within the new Environment Agency. The NRA have placed particular emphasis on planning for environmental sustainability through an integrated approach to river catchment management. Inherent to the success of this approach is the need to work closely with local communities, industry, landowners, interest groups and other agencies whose activities and interests interact with the water environment. NRA Thames Region 8 Brent & Crane CMP 1 MANAGING THE WATER ENVIRONMENT Sustainable Catchment Management Environmental sustainability requires development needs to be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This requires a full consideration of environmental, social and economic issues during the decision making process. This is an approach that has been backed by the Rio Earth Summit, European Union and the UK Government.

To the south the valley is more densely developed than the the south. Between Batchworth and Uxbridge the valley floor consists north, with industrial towns such as Uxbridge, Yiewsley and West of a series of lakes and reservoirs, edged by ridges and plateaux within Drayton and London’s largest airport, Heathrow. The historic cores the neighbouring Ruislip Plateau (NLA 2) and the Hayes Gravels (NLA which remain within the settlements of Harefield, Uxbridge, West 10). As the River Colne meanders south and the Grand Union Canal Drayton and Harmondsworth suggest how settlement patterns have heads east, the topography gradually levels; historically the River evolved within this area. Despite the intense residential and industrial Colne would have meandered wider here, resulting in an extensive development around Uxbridge, the linear open space corridors area of deep silt soil across an exceptionally wide floodplain.

This leafy English landscape with its common, village green, ponds and idyllic rural walks was in earlier times the hunting grounds of royalty. Now it is home to famous and discerning residents who appreciate its perfect combination of country charm and proximity to central London. This is country living at its best without leaving town. As its name suggests, Totteridge lies on a ridge between the valleys of the Dollis Brook and Folly Brook with spectacular views over London. In past centuries the surrounding meadowlands provided rich grazing for local livestock and the hay to feed London’s horses. Many of these beautiful meadows are still in evidence today. Gentlemen farmers grew wealthy providing for London’s needs and used their profits to create several notable estates with elegant manors set in their own parklands. With the coming of the railway in 1872 graceful Victorian and Edwardian mansion houses were built around the old village.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
