Unscrupulously I use Palmer’s masterpiece as a handle to drag in the gorgeous breadth and depth of our concerns. Goodness knows who has studied that Shoreham garden. To my knowledge, no one. Yet it inspired a supreme creation of English romantic art. Does it exist? Or has it gone? Where was it? What was it like? And who was the woman in crimson, queenly, mysterious, who stands gazing in quiet expectation to one side of the scene? No Queen of Love, no Helen was ever more beautiful than this. And yet she, and her garden, remain unknown. Were we studying Shakespeare, we’d be down to Shakespeare’s laundry-bills; or his hairstyle; or the vexed question of why he never uses a !!! in purple passages.

The adaptation practices identified from the project area can be categorized as: a) agronomic management, b) water harvesting c) water resources exploitation, d) water use efficiency, e) crop intensification, f) alternative enterprise, g) alternative energy source etc. From this preliminary list, those adaptation options to be further promoted and/or replicated were selected through a sequence of evaluation processes at different levels starting from upazila-level DMC members, Upazila level Technical Implementation Groups (UTIWG) and National level Technical Implementation Working Groups (NTIWG). First consultative meetings and brief feed back workshops were also organized with the national research institutions (BARI, BRRI, BLRI and BFRI) and developmental organizations.

As a non-driver I have been using public transport all my life and know first-hand its strengths and challenges. Ealing is currently facing some major transportation challenges with the progress of Crossrail/Elizabeth Line, possible third runway for Heathrow, HS2 and the huge restructuring of our healthcare. We envisaged looking at our borough's transport connectivity taking these current projects into consideration, with a view to identifying the gaps where provision is limited to find solutions for the residents living there. It is particularly important to have good inter- borough connections with our neighbouring boroughs such as Brent, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow as we will now be expected to access many services such as healthcare provision over the whole North West London area. Connectivity within our borough is key to economic prosperity ensuring people are able to move around our borough with reliable transportation to get to and from work and places of education as well as access our parks and leisure facilities. Health strategies are increasingly focused on prevention and better ageing for our population.

Much of our national infrastructure for water, waste, transport and energy requires a fundamental rethink. We need to regenerate urban and rural communities, build more homes, strengthen social cohesion and establish food security; but all at a time when capital investment is very limited, the UK economy is fragile, the global market place is increasingly competitive and climate change is a growing concern. There is a false perception that good design is an expensive luxury. Now is precisely the time to focus on utility and function put together beautifully. Any action that changes the appearance and condition of a place must consider its effect on the wider landscape. It is vital to see the bigger picture. This is the role of landscape architecture. Landscape architecture is rooted in an understanding of how the environment works and what makes each place unique. It is a blend of science and art, vision and thought. It is a creative profession skilled in strategic planning, delivery and management. Landscape architects bring knowledge of natural sciences, environmental law and planning policy.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Context This submission constitutes the London Borough of Hounslow’s response to an invitation to provide initial comments on the Crossrail project’s proposal for a new corridor for Crossrail 1: Corridor 6 – Norbiton, via Old Oak Common, Acton, Chiswick, Richmond and Kingston. The submission considers the proposal in terms of service and amenity for the borough’s residents and businesses, and within the context of the Council’s published policies. In addition to the two options that constitute the Corridor 6 proposals, this submission provides two further options for Crossrail’s consideration. While the Council must record its disappointment that an effective period of less than two weeks was offered for preparation of this submission, the Council also wishes to record its appreciation for the assistance given by the Crossrail consultation team during the preparation of the submission. 1.2 Council Policies The London Borough of Hounslow Unitary Development Plan’s objectives relating to transport and land use development are summarised below: • To promote sustainable transport modes (walking, cycling, public and waterborne transport) which improves access for all members of the community and enhances public transport provision in London as a whole, while reducing car traffic and the demand for road space. • To encourage a pattern of land use, and provision of transport which minimises harm to the environment and reduces the need to travel, especially by car, whilst maximising development opportunities in the Borough.
