Commuting in London CIS 2014-11 Commuting in London July 2014 The 2011 Census recorded the place of work and method of travel to work of all respondents aged 16 or over. The Special Workplace Statistics dataset provides information on travel to work flows and the characteristics of workers based on where they live (origin) and where they work (destination). This summary document provides an overview of commuting in London and is based on the first origin- destination outputs from the 2011 Census which were released on 25th July, 2014. Key Findings Net commuting inflow from the rest of England and Wales to London was 519,000 in 2011 up seven per cent since 2001. Both inflows and outflows were higher than in 2001: inflows rose nine per cent to 790,000 while outflows rose 15 per cent to 271,000. Within London, more than two million persons worked in a different local authority to their residence. Nearly 400,000 workers commuted into Westminster from the rest of London, while 115,000 commuted out of Wandsworth to the rest of London. The largest single cross-border flow was 29,100 from Wandsworth to Westminster. Twenty-four local authorities outside London had 10,000 or more London commuters. Dartford replaced Slough as the top destination for commuters from London. 356,500 people commuted to jobs in the City of London. 40 per cent from inner London, 29 per cent from outer London, 31 per cent from outside London 558,900 people commuted to jobs in Westminster. 46 per cent from inner London, 32 per cent from outer London, 23 per cent from outside London 103,500 people commuted to jobs in Canary Wharf. 44 per cent from inner London, 30 per cent from outer London, 26 per cent from outside London Those workers who lived outside London and commuted to City, Westminster or Canary Wharf were most likely to live in either Surrey (14 per cent), Essex (17 per cent) or Hertfordshire (14 per cent) GLA Intelligence 1 Commuting in London Commuting in London In 2011, there were 4.50 million persons in work in London an increase of 690,000, some 18 per cent compared to 2001. Some 790,000 workers commuted into London from the rest of England and Wales while 271,000 London residents worked outside the capital.

Net inflow rose seven per cent to 519,000, a similar level to 20 years earlier. Figure 1: Net flow for districts in London GLA Intelligence 2 Commuting in London Commuting within London by London local authority Commuter flows within London were much larger than flows across the London boundary with over two million Londoners working in a different London local authority to their residence. Figure 2 shows that nearly 400,000 workers (397,000) commuted into Westminster from the rest of London, more than three times as many as commuted from outside London. The City of London received 243,000 commuters from the rest of London while Camden, Tower Hamlets, Southwark and Islington each received over 100,000. The largest commuter inflow to an outer London borough was 49,000 into Ealing. Figure 3 shows that the boroughs with the largest commuter outflows to other London boroughs were the contiguous inner London boroughs of Wandsworth with 115,000, Lambeth with 109,000 and Southwark with 90,000. The outer London borough of Ealing came next with an outflow of 85,000 to the rest of London. The largest individual commuter flows between London local authorities were into Westminster and City from the neighbouring boroughs of Wandsworth, Lambeth Tower Hamlets and Southwark. The largest flows to outer London boroughs were 12,000 from Hounslow to Hillingdon, 11,700 from Ealing to Hillingdon,10,800 from Bexley to Greenwich and 10,400 from Ealing to Hounslow.

Half of all in-commuters, 404,000, came from the South East and nearly four in ten, 308,000, came from the East region, the remainder of the English regions and Wales together accounted for 78,000 or a tenth of London’s commuters.

Camden, Hillingdon and Tower Hamlets received around 50,000 commuters each from outside London. As would be expected, authorities GLA Intelligence 6 Commuting in London to the east of London tended to attract more commuters from the East region and those to the west relatively more from the South East. Hillingdon had more commuters from the South East region (37,200) than any London local authority except Westminster and City (68,100 and 48,400 respectively). City had the most commuters from the East region (55,700) followed by Westminster (42,200), Tower Hamlets (25,800) and Camden (23,300). Figure 5: Regions in England & Wales to London Top local authorities commuting into London Table 2 gives the 24 local authorities that had 10,000 or more commuters into London in 2011. Epping Forest had most commuters in 2011 at 25,900, although this was slightly down on the 2001 figure of 26,200. The authorities that showed the biggest increase in commuters were Thurrock (up 2,600 to 22,100) and Dartford (up 2,500 to 19,100). The top source of commuters outside South East and East regions was Wiltshire unitary authority with 3,700 working in London.

There are multiple reasons why we consider that permission for this application should be refused. We have today sent a de- tailed legal letter to the Planning Officer setting out a number of these, which is enclosed (Appendix 1). We are writing here to set out a brief summary of these points, which we hope may assist your consideration of the application: The Fallback Position • The Officer’s Report (“OR”) significantly underestimates the additional floor area that the proposed development represents when compared with the existing permission. (para. 7.4.2) At a minimum, the increase would be 1,217 sqm (50% more than what is said in the OR, excluding the permanent concrete-based ‘tented area’, which would add approximately another 1,050 sqm). This is due to the fact that the OR fails to recognize that Swiss Hall would have to be demolished if the other accommodation onsite were constructed, as this was an integral part of the terms of the 2008 Permission.1 The extant permission has also been misrepresented as the new buildings were replacements and there was no increase to the footprint under those plans.

  • V Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council [2020] EWHC 1608 (Admin) (23 June 2020)
    Case Name: Miles, R (On the Application Of) v Tonbridge And Malling Borough Council [2020] EWHC 1608 (Admin) (23 June 2020) Full case: Click Here Commentary: This was an unsuccessful claim for judicial review of Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council’s decision to grant planning permission for a traveller site on the green belt in Kent. The Council had granted permission in 2008 for two caravans on the site for occupation by two named individuals and their dependents for a period of 3 years. In 2015 a further permission was granted with conditions requiring that the residential use of the site cease after 7 years and that the land then be restored to nature. In November 2019, the Council granted a new permission which allowed for 3 caravans on the site with no time limits. The claimant contended that the Council had been wrongly influenced by an immaterial consideration, being that refusal of permission would likely lead to a planning appeal and, if it lost, the Council could be exposed to an unfavourable costs order and reputational damage. The court considered it to be undisputed that the risk of an adverse costs award or reputational harm were not material planning considerations and that it would be illegitimate to allow such factors to influence a planning judgment. However, it held that that there was nothing wrong with officers advising members in relation to such risks, and it was satisfied that these risks were not taken into account as material considerations in the Council’s exercise of planning judgment. The claimant further alleged that the members had been misled by the officers' reports, but the court found that the reports were not misleading when read as a whole and that they in fact properly informed the councillors of planning considerations relevant to the decision.

    Our Ref: TEF_84396 Head of Planning The Chief Planning Officer Epsom and Ewell Borough Council Development Planning Town Hall The Parade Epsom KT18 5BY 02/02/2021 Dear Sir/Madam, CLARIFICATION OF THE DECLARATION OF ICNIRP COMPLIANCE ISSUED AS PART OF THE PLANNING APPLICATION ATTACHED FOR THE SITE CORNERSTONE AT CTIL_239867 TEF_84396 CAPITOL SQUARE, 4-6 CHURCH STREET, EPSOM, SURREY, KT17 4NR I refer to the Declaration of Conformity with ICNIRP Public Exposure Guidelines (“ICNIRP Declaration”), sent with this application in relation to the proposed telecommunications installation as detailed above. The “ICNIRP Declaration” certifies that the site is designed to be in full compliance with the requirements of the radio frequency (RF) guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) for public exposure as expressed in the EU Council recommendation of July 1999. This ICNIRP declaration takes into account the cumulative effect of the emissions from the proposed installation and all radio base stations present at, or near, the proposed location. The radio emission compliance calculation is based upon the maximum possible cumulative values. All operators of radio transmitters are under a legal obligation to operate those transmitters in accordance with the conditions of their licence. Operation of the transmitter in accordance with the conditions of the licence fulfils the legal obligations in respect of interference to other radio systems, other electrical equipment, instrumentation or air traffic systems. The conditions of the licence are mandated by Ofcom, an agency of national government, who are responsible for the regulation of the civilian radio spectrum. The remit of Ofcom also includes investigation and remedy of any reported significant interference.
