The Park attracts over 7 million visits each year largely drawn from London, Hertfordshire and Essex but given the international status of its venues increasingly from across the United Kingdom and abroad. The Regional Park lies at the centre of one of Europe’s largest regeneration areas which includes London 2012 and its Legacy, major developments in the lower Lee Valley, Meridian Water and a range of large schemes coming forward in Epping Forest District and the Borough of Broxbourne. The Authority’s adopted policies date from 2000 and, given the Regional Park’s rapidly changing context, a new approach is required. The Strategic Aims and Policies, Landscape Strategy and Area Proposals included in the Park Development Framework are designed to respond to this changing context to ensure that the Regional Park can maintain its role as an exciting and dynamic destination which caters for leisure, recreation and the natural environment over the next 10-15 years.

Job number 243074-00 Ove Arup & Partners Ltd 13 Fitzroy Street London W1T 4BQ United Kingdom www.arup.com Local Area 1 Area (ha) 453.1 Location Plan Strategic Area Strategic Area C lies on the fringes of a much wider area of strategic Green Belt which extends Summary across much of Surrey. Its strategic role in Elmbridge is to prevent the town of Oxshott / Cobham from merging with Ashtead and Leatherhead / Bookham / Fetcham in Mole Valley, though it is also important for preventing encroachment into open countryside. Much of the Area retains an unspoilt and open, rural character, though in some isolated localities ribbon development along roads and the loss of arable farmland to horse paddocks has diminished this character somewhat. At the strategic level, the Strategic Area plays an important role in meeting the fundamental aim of Green Belt policy to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open. Assessment of the Strategic Area against the relevant NPPF Purposes is as follows: - Purpose 1 – Meets the Purpose moderately by acting as an important barrier to potential sprawl from the Guildford urban area, Ash and Tongham urban area, Dorking, and Leatherhead / Bookham / Fetcham / Ashtead. - Purpose 2 – Meets the Purpose strongly by establishing important gaps between a number of Surrey towns from merging into one another.

  • South Colne Sub-Area 3
    SOUTH COLNE DETAILED STRATEGIES SUB-AREA 3 South Colne character South Colne is characterised by flatter topography as the River Colne approaches its confluence with the Thames. Braided watercourses and flood meadows typify the landscape, which is dominated in aerial views by a series of large reservoirs, the product of historic gravel extraction industry in the area. The South West London Reservoirs are internationally significant for the populations of overwintering birds they support, some from as far afield as the Arctic. This area also includes Heathrow airport and the extensive associated transport infrastructure. In close proximity to the airport lie some significant heritage assets including Harmondsworth Barn, the largest timber- framed building in England. © Brian Robert Marshall CC Andreas Trepte, www.photo-natur.net Harmondsworth Barn River Colne flowing through Staines Moor Lakes and reservoirs important for SOUTH COLNE overwintering wildfowl DETAILED SUB-AREA 3 STRATEGIES © Stefan Czapski The Causeway at Staines Reservoir Ankerwycke Priory - home to the Ankerwycke Colne Brook at Wraysbury - important for Yew wildlife Colne & Crane valleys green infrastructure strategy 51 South Colne area strategy overview The strategy for South Colne and Heathrow associated opportunities for education and is to improve and repair the landscape and interpretation and new viewpoints. connectivity for people and wildlife, conserve INTERWOVEN RIVERS and enhance valuable ecological habitats and Water and biodiversity enhancements should aim promote access for all to new and improved to restore floodplains and focus on the benefits of RECREATION landscape destinations. natural landscapes to contribute to natural flood LOCAL + GLOBAL management in this low lying landscape.

  • Horton and Wraysbury Character Assessment
    Horton and Wraysbury Character Assessment June 2015 Horton and Wraysbury Parish Councils Contents 1. Introduction 2. Landscape Setting 3. Townscape Character Appendix 1: RBWM Landscape Character Assessment, 2004 - Extracts Relevant to Horton and Wraysbury 1 INTRODUCTION About this document This document, prepared by Horton and Wraysbury Parish Councils, provides an overview of the character and key qualities that define the built up areas of the parishes of Horton and Wraysbury. It has been produced as one part of a larger project – the Horton and Wraysbury Neighbourhood Development Plan. Once adopted, the Neighbourhood Development Plan will be used by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead when considering planning applications which are submitted within the designated area. This Character Assessment supports the design and character policies progressed within the Neighbourhood Development Plan, and will help to ensure that development proposals are designed in a manner which is complimentary to and reinforces the distinct and special character of Horton and Wraysbury. 2 LANDSCAPE SETTING An aquatic landscape The Parishes of Horton and Wraysbury lie in a landscape which is largely shaped and characterised by water features. These water features take a variety of forms, and include: The River Thames; Wraysbury Reservoir and the Queen Mother Reservoir; and ‘Man-made’ lakes formed from disused gravel pits. The River Thames lies to west of Wraysbury, and in this area diverges into the New Cut, the Colne Brook and some unnamed tributaries. Lakes of varying sizes, originating from former gravel workings are a particular feature (during the 1930’s, due to the presence of huge quantities of gravel in this area, farming started to give way to the minerals extraction industry).
