  • Londons Warming Technical Report
    Final Report 61 5. The Potential Environmental Impacts of Climate Change in London 5.1 Introduction There are several approaches to climate change impact assessment. These include: extrapolating findings from existing literature; fully quantitative, model-based simulations of the system(s) of interest; or eliciting the opinions of experts and stakeholders. All three approaches will be implemented in this section by a) reviewing the formal literature where appropriate, b) undertaking exemplar impacts modelling for specific issues identified through c) dialogue with stakeholders. Two workshops were held in May 2002 in order to engage expert and stakeholder opinion regarding the most pressing potential climate change impacts facing London. Following stakeholder consultation, five environmental areas were highlighted: 1) urban heat island effects (including London Underground temperatures); 2) air quality; 3) water resources ; 4) tidal and riverine flood risk and 5) biodiversity. Although these are addressed in turn – and where appropriate, case studies have been included – it is also acknowledged that many of these are cross-cutting (for example, river water quality impacts relate to flood risk, water resources and biodiversity). The final section delivers a summary of the most significant environmental impacts of climate change for London. Policy responses are addressed elsewhere. 5.2 Higher Temperatures 5.2.1 Context Throughout this section the reader is invited to refer to the downscaling case study provided in Section 4.7). Heat waves may increase in frequency and severity in a warmer world. Urban heat islands exacerbate the effects of heat waves by increasing summer temperatures by several more degrees Celsius relative to rural locations (see Figure 3.2b).

  • C257 London Wall and Blomfield Street Utilities WB FW Report.Pdf
    London Wall & Blomfield Street Utilities Watching Brief Fieldwork Report, XSZ11 C257-MLA-T1-RGN-CRG03-50015 v2 Non technical summary This report presents the results of watching briefs carried out by Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) on cable diversion works on the junction between Blomfield Street and London Wall, and a trial hole for the insertion of monitoring equipment outside 41/42 London Wall, both in the City of London, EC2. The utilities work was undertaken by UK Power Networks (UKPN) and the trial hole excavated for Thames Water. This report was commissioned from MOLA by Crossrail Ltd and is being undertaken as part of a wider programme to mitigate the archaeological implications of railway development proposals along the Crossrail route. This report covers a UKPN utilities diversion trench running down the centre of Blomfield Street, turning east on the northern carriageway of London Wall, and a trial trench adjacent to 41/42 London Wall. Given the proximity of the Roman and medieval City Wall, a Scheduled Monument (LO26P), fieldwork was focused around the junction between the two roads, and the immediate vicinity. The trial hole was located approximately 15m east of the junction between Moorgate and London Wall, in the southern carriageway. No archaeologically significant deposits were exposed in the trial hole adjacent to 41/42 London Wall. This archaeological watching brief followed requirement set out in a Scheduled Monument Deed under the Crossrail Act (2008). A further aim was to ensure that the works did not damage the Scheduled Monument, should the City Wall be encountered. The City Wall and associated deposits were left in situ.

    Committee(s) Dated: Standards Committee 5 October 2018 Subject: Public Declaration of Gifts and Hospitality in relation to the special provision made for the Lord Mayor and Shrevialty as Ceremonial Office Holders Report of: For Information Executive Director, Mansion House and Central Criminal Court Report Author: Vic Annells Summary To update the Committee on the Lord Mayor and Shrieval declaration of gifts and hospitality for the year 2017/18. Recommendation(s) Members are asked to note the report. Main Report Background 1. Following the meeting of Standards Committee on 20th February 2015 it was agreed that as of 1st April 2015 gifts and hospitality which breached the threshold, as applied to all Members, would be declared unless they fell within the caveat outlined within the previous report of ‘special provision’ for the Lord Mayor and Shrievalty as ceremonial office holders. 2. The last report on gifts and hospitality was made to the Committee at its meeting in October 2017. Current Position 3. Since the last report, the Lord Mayor has made declarations at broadly three monthly intervals, declaring gifts and hospitality publicly via the internet page - http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/about-the-city/the-lord-mayor/Pages/default.aspx The gifts and hospitality are detailed on separate documents. 4. Members will be aware that the Shrievalty commences in September, therefore, the attached appendices summarise the Shrieval year of Alderman and Sheriff Timothy Hailes and Sheriff Neil Redcliffe. 5. The Lord Mayor and Shrievalty have no separate declarations to make to the Committee under the special provision. All gifts and hospitality have been declared in the attached appendices.

London Borough of Barking Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment Rodenbuesch, I & Halsey, C London : Museum of London Archaeology Service, 2007, 30pp, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Museum of London Archaeology Service An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out at the site, which lay within an Area of Archaeological Significance as defined by the local authority. This area was designated in relation to the river Thames floodplain and archaeological activity associated with and around it. The site had a low potential for prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval period archaeology. Most of the site was open marshland until its final reclamation in the first half of the 20th century. Only the two northern ends of the east and west leg of the proposed road fell within field boundaries adjacent to the north of the marsh wall. The road corridor was unlikely to truncate potential archaeological deposits to any large degree.

    CITY GATE HOUSE, 39-45 FINSBURY SQUARE, LONDON EC2 LB ISLINGTON ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESK-BASED ASSESSMENT Prepared for BSREP II City Gate Ltd Mills Whipp Projects, 40, Bowling Green Lane, London EC1R 0NE 020 7415 7000 [email protected] January 2019 CITY GATE HOUSE, 39-45 FINSBURY SQUARE, LONDON EC2 Summary The purpose of this report is to identify the archaeological potential of deposits on a site at City Gate House, 39-45 Finsbury Square EC2 in LB Islington and consider the scheme’s likely impact on them. The roughly square site is centred on National Grid Reference TQ 3287 8185 and is approximately 3600 sq m (Fig. 1). During the preparation of this report the Greater London Historic Environment Record (HER) was consulted for an area of 250m radius centred on the proposed development (Historic England report No.14597) (Fig. 2). The subject site but does not contain any Scheduled Ancient Monuments and does not lie within a Designated Archaeological Area as defined in Scheduled Ancient Monuments & Archaeological Areas Act 1979. It does, however, lie within an Archaeological Priority Area as defined by LB Islington. The research indicates that there is a low potential for significant prehistoric, Roman, Saxon, mediaeval or post mediaeval archaeology on the site. The proposed groundworks are minimal. It is suggested that if forthcoming geotechnical investigations fail to reveal significant archaeological deposits then the development is permitted to proceed without archaeological constraints.
