  • Spaces Wild, London Wildlife Trust
    SPACES WILD championing the values of London’s wildlife sites Protecting London’s wildlife for the future Foreword London is a remarkably green city supporting a wide diversity of habitats and species. Almost half of its area is blue and green space, and almost a fifth – covering over 1,500 different sites - is of sufficient value to biodiversity to be identified worthy of protection. These wildlife sites consist of much more than nature reserves, ranging from wetlands to chalk downs that are often valued by the local community for uses other than habitat. They have been established for almost 30 years, and as a network they provide the foundations for the conservation and enhancement of London’s wildlife, and the opportunity for people to experience the diversity of the city’s nature close to hand. They are a fantastic asset, but awareness of wildlife sites – the Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) – is low amongst the public (compared to, say, the Green Belt). There is understandable confusion between statutory wildlife sites and those identified through London’s planning process. In addition the reasons why SINCs have been identified SINCs cover 19.3% of the are often difficult to find out. With London set to grow to 10 million people by 2030 the pressures on our wildlife Greater London area sites will become profound. I have heard of local authorities being forced to choose between saving a local park and building a school. Accommodating our growth without causing a decline in the quality of our natural assets will be challenging; we have a target to build an estimated 42,000 homes a year in the capital merely to keep up with demand.

  • Area Plan Proposal for London Has Been Developed and in This Booklet You Will Find Information on the Changes Proposed for London
    Post Office Ltd Network Change Programme Area Plan Proposal London 2 Contents 1. Introduction 2. Proposed Local Area Plan 3. The Role of Postwatch 4. List of Post Office® branches proposed for closure 5. List of Post Office® branches proposed to remain in the Network • Frequently Asked Questions Leaflet • Map of the Local Area Plan • Branch Access Reports - information on proposed closing branches and details of alternative branches in the Area 3 4 1. Introduction The Government has recognised that fewer people are using Post Office® branches, partly because traditional services, including benefit payments and other services are now available in other ways, such as online or directly through banks. It has concluded that the overall size and shape of the network of Post Office® branches (“the Network”) needs to change. In May 2007, following a national public consultation, the Government announced a range of proposed measures to modernise and reshape the Network and put it on a more stable footing for the future. A copy of the Government’s response to the national public consultation (“the Response Document”) can be obtained at www.dti.gov.uk/consultations/page36024.html. Post Office Ltd has now put in place a Network Change Programme (“the Programme”) to implement the measures proposed by the Government. The Programme will involve the compulsory compensated closure of up to 2,500 Post Office® branches (out of a current Network of 14,300 branches), with the introduction of about 500 service points known as “Outreaches” to mitigate the impact of the proposed closures. Compensation will be paid to those subpostmasters whose branches are compulsorily closed under the Programme.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

We had to leave our beloved Streatham, as we could not afford a property there with the budget available and South Norwood was close enough for them to stay at the same school and near other family members. Unlike Norbury or Thornton Heath that we also considered, South Norwood completely charmed us, as it beamed with tonnes of development potential and was on the brink of going through a well-deserved re-generation due to its many beautiful residential roads and parks on its doorstep (Grangewood Park with tennis courts and other sports amenities, South Norwood Lake with boating and lovely playground, Country Park with with its turtles, pitch and put and tonnes of cycling/running/playing opportunity, Tennison Rd Sports Ground with football and more, Crystal Palace with its dinosaurs just a 15mins’ bike ride) and fantastic public transport connections from Norwood Junction station (approx 0.4 miles) and Selhurst (approx 0.6 miles) to the rest of London (direct trains - 15mins to London Bridge, 20mins to Farringdon, 20mins to Clapham Junction, 30mins to Victoria, 20min to Gatwick Airport, 1hr to Luton Airport and frequent 5min trains to East Croydon).
