  • FOI 9311 Parks in LB Tower Hamlets and List of Parks by Size Since 1938
    FOI 9311 Parks created since 1938 Could you please supply a list of all open spaces created from January 1938 to December 2012. Please supply the area of each new open space when created History of parks and open spaces in Tower Hamlets, and their heritage significance The History of Parks and Open Space in Tower Hamlets The parks and open spaces of Tower Hamlets have come about through a variety of processes. Some public open spaces were the result of deliberate design or policy, while others are the result of historic accident or expedience. There were broadly three periods during which public open space was created in Tower Hamlets. These moves were primarily to benefit people, rather than improve land or rental values. The first was the deliberate creation of Victoria Park in the mid 19 th century, the late 19 th century saw the conversion of churchyards to public gardens and the most recent was in the mid 20 th century after World War 2. Various open spaces are the result of late 18 th and 19 th century urban design, being planned formal gardens set in London Squares. As such they are protected by the London Squares Preservation Act, 1931. These sites include Trinity Square Gardens , Arbour Square , Albert Gardens and the little known Oval in Bethnal Green. See full list of protected London Squares below. Many churchyards, particularly in the west of borough became public open spaces managed by the local authority. Having been closed to further burial use because they were overflowing, they were converted in the second half of the 19 th century into public gardens.

LOWER LEA VALLEY OPPORTUNITY AREA PLANNING FRAMEWORK | i FOREWORD I am delighted to introduce the Opportunity Area Planning Framework for the Lower Lea Valley. The Framework sets out my vision for the Valley, how it could change over the next decade, and what that change would mean for residents, businesses, landowners, public authorities and other stakeholders. It builds on the strategic planning policies set out in my 2004 London Plan for an area of nearly 1450 hectares, extending from the Thames in the south to Leyton in the north, straddling the borders of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The Lower Lea Valley is currently characterised by large areas of derelict industrial land and poor housing. Much of the land is fragmented, polluted and divided by waterways, overhead pylons, roads and railways. My aim is to build on the area’s unique network of waterways and islands to attract new investment and opportunities, and to transform the Valley into a new sustainable, mixed use city district, fully integrated into London’s existing urban fabric.
