The main purpose of this work is to assess the locations already established by the Council and determine the types of design/policy limitations that may be appropriate in terms of place-making, townscape and landscape, and views. It is the intention that this work forms part of the evidence base for Haringey’s emerging Development Plan. SLR is a multi-disciplinary environmental consultancy and registered practice with the Landscape Institute. The landscape workload is wide-ranging and includes large-scale development and nationally significant infrastructure projects. 1.1 Scope of This Report This report is a validation study only and sets out the work completed by SLR to date and the key principles guiding the potential location of tall buildings in Haringey. It builds on the principles set out in Haringey Council’s Urban Characterisation Study, February 2015 (UCS), with a specific emphasis on the most suitable locations for tall buildings within the borough. Included in this initial report is a map (Drawing - SLR 1) indicating the general locations with the potential suitability for tall building(s), considered as part of this study. This study focuses on the Growth Areas identified by Haringey Council at Wood Green / Heartlands, Tottenham Hale and North Tottenham / Northumberland Park (as defined in The Local Plan and UCS) and also additional potential locations for tall buildings at Seven Sisters and to the south of Finsbury Park. SLR has not made design judgements about existing permitted or proposed developments or advised on the detailed design of any of the potential development areas, as part of this work. All work is instead landscape-based, focusing on the appropriate height and massing of the Growth Areas / potential locations for tall buildings. Similarly, this study does not attempt to consider other environmental topics that would be the subject of any subsequent planning application(s), such as microclimate, setting of cultural heritage assets or overall residential amenity. Further guidance will be provided in the proposed tall buildings SPD for Haringey. It is anticipated that further detailed work will include assessment of individual site / development specific proposals, 3d modelling and visualisations, assessment of potential landscape and visual effects and mitigation options. Such work will form part of a broader process of re-iteration, informing the production of design codes for specific areas, including amongst other issues the provision of public realm. Design opportunities should seek to develop specific responses to context, creating accent and focal points, stepped profiles and clusters, as appropriate. The mass, height and arrangements of any new tall buildings should be configured carefully in order to respect the character of the townscape and landscape context. This can only be SLR Haringey Council 4 SLR Project Ref No: 403-05618-00001 London Borough of Haringey Potential Tall Buildings Locations Validations Study November 2015 achieved if an assessment of townscape character in the locality of the development proposed and views to and from it are undertaken. This report includes a section covering the unimplemented development known at the time of preparation; however this is recognised as a dynamic situation and may be subject to change as new proposals are brought forward, applications submitted and/or determined. The study also principally focuses on development within the London Borough of Haringey; however, it is recognised that other development in the surrounding boroughs may also be visible from certain locations and may therefore affect the landscape and visual context for any potential tall buildings. Detailed appraisals of such development would be expected to be undertaken as part of a landscape and visual impact assessment that may accompany a planning application and environmental statement. 1.2 Summary of Work Undertaken to Date 1.2.1 Literature Review Key publications which have been reviewed and provide the guiding principles and criteria for this project are briefly described below. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published in 2012 sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. At its heart is a presumption in favour of sustainable development. There are several landscape and visual related matters set out in this document. The London Plan (the spatial development strategy for London consolidated with alterations since 2011), published by the Greater London Authority in March 2015 provides a useful framework for considering the appropriate location and design of tall buildings (Policy 7.7). Haringey Council’s planning policies include a number of development plan documents, guidance documents and strategies relating to potential tall buildings within the Borough: • the Local Development Framework (LDF) guides future growth and development in Haringey. The only current adopted Development Plan Document (DPD) in this portfolio is the Local Plan: Strategic Policies 2013 . This document is used in conjunction with the London Plan 2015, and Saved UDP Policies to make up Haringey's current development plan. Chapter 2 sets out Haringey’s Spatial Strategy and describes how “Tall buildings may be appropriate

Under this legislation the Council is obliged to adopt and implement a contaminated land strategy. The Council is under a statutory duty to secure the remediation of contaminated land where significant harm is being, or could be caused to the environment, human health or to structures. The strategy relates to land contaminated by past activities only. The Council is the primary authority for the implementation of the strategy. It will consult with and take advice from other agencies, for example the Environment Agency, English Nature, English Heritage and the Greater London Authority. The strategy outlines the Councils’ approach to dealing with contaminated land within the borough. Procedures have been developed to identify responsibilities within the Council and to ensure the Council deals with land which is contaminated, in a consistent and diligent manner.

Cultural Influences 4.64 The low-lying land of rich alluvial deposits supported a system of grazing, referred to as the Lammas system5 from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the C19th. Grazing rights on the marshes were extinguished by the early C20th and a substantial proportion of the marshlands, with the exception of Walthamstow Marshes, were then modified by industrial activities and landfill, including the dumping of bomb rubble after WW2. In the 1950 and 60s the construction of flood relief channels ended the periodic inundation of the marshlands. 4.65 Communication routes through the valley floor proliferated over the C20th, including pylons, roads and railway lines mounted on embankments, but residential and industrial development remains largely confined to the margins. 4.66 Public access and recreation now characterises much of the marshlands, with some areas managed as nature reserves. However substantial infrastructure, such as the railway lines and flood relief channels and adjacent industrial development, means access through and into the marshes from surrounding urban areas is often severed.

  • A Biodiversity Action Plan for the Lee Valley Regional Park
    Lee Valley Regional Park Biodiversity Action Plan A BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN FOR THE LEE VALLEY REGIONAL PARK 1. INTRODUCTION Why conserve biodiversity ? Concern for the environment has perhaps never been greater than at the present time. It is widely recognised that unless behaviour which damages the environment is changed much of our natural resource may be lost forever. Although environmental losses in this country are no longer on the scale they were in the past, they are still steadily occurring and arguably more significant now in relation to the total resource of habitats and species remaining. Biodiversity (the variety of life) should be maintained because our future needs and values are unpredictable. Our understanding of ecosystems is insufficient to be certain of the impact of removing any individual component. There is concern globally that if we continue to degrade what remains of our natural resources we will dangerously reduce the planet's capacity to support not only wildlife but also people. The arguments for maintaining biodiversity are strong. An economic value may be placed on eco-tourism, on products from the environment and on ecological processes. Wetlands, for example, act as natural pollution filters, buffer the effects of flood and drought and reduce soil erosion. It must be accepted that these principles apply not only to far flung parts of the planet but equally to our local environment. Whilst the scientific and economic rationale for conserving biodiversity can be quantified, the less tangible intrinsic value of plants and animals should not be overlooked. The natural world enriches the quality of our lives in many ways.

  • 6. Lea River Valley
    6. Lea River Valley Key plan Description The Lea River Valley Natural Landscape Area consists of The River Lea or Lee, a major tributary river to the Thames, and its wide floodplain. From its source near Luton, it flows through the eastern side of Enfield, meeting the Thames to the east of the Isle of Dogs. This area has a London Clay bedrock geology layer, over which are patches of gravel terraces and silts. Significant areas of sand and gravel extraction have taken place. The former quarries have either been backfilled or flooded to create reservoirs, with the latter a significant man-made feature of this landscape. It is a highly altered landscape, having undergone significant human intervention. 6. Lea River Valley River Lea 6. Due to the influences of geology and topograpy the Area is drawn wider to the west of the River than to the east. The river corridor has two distinct landscape characters along its length. The northern area through Enfield is a wide, flat plateau on Kempton Park and Taplow Gravel remnants and Enfield silts. A number of minor tributary streams cut across from the west of the catchment and into the reservoir/river system beyond Tottenham. The river channel is heavily modified into culverted flood relief channels and the River Lee Navigation canal system which enabled the waterway to be used as a transport artery through the 19th and 20th Century. These watercourses feed the expansive reservoir system (from north to south – King George’s, William Girling, Banbury, Lockwood, High Maynard, Low Maynard and Warwick East and West).
