    Image © Rob Sambrooks Image © Rob Hackney Biodiversity Action Plan 2012-17 black 11 mm clearance all sides white 11 mm clearance PJ46645 all sides CMYK 11 mm clearance all sides Councillor Introduction Cllr Jonathan McShane, Cabinet Member for Health and Community Services Cllr Sophie Linden, Cabinet Member for Crime, Sustainability and Customer Services It gives us great pleasure to introduce the first Hackney Biodiversity Action Plan. This document sets out the guiding principles of how Hackney Council and our partners will work to protect and enhance the wildlife and natural environment of the Borough. The Action Plan has been developed by the Council in collaboration with the Hackney Biodiversity Partnership. Hackney’s open spaces and structures provide homes for a range of common and rare wildlife, including birds, bats and plants. The Biodiversity Action Plan is about more than protecting our wildlife. Biodiversity contributes to our health and wellbeing, provides places for us to enjoy and helps us to adapt to the threat of climate change. This Biodiversity Action Plan identifies the key issues for biodiversity and clearly sets out how we will work to improve our open spaces and built environment. Working in partnership we will raise awareness of the value of our biodiversity, ensure that our green and open spaces are resources that all of our residents can enjoy and promote the wider benefits that biodiversity can provide. Hackney’s environment helps to define the Borough. It is important that we continue to strive to protect and improve our biodiversity, responding to the needs and aspirations of Hackney and its residents in the years to come.

  • Motor Traffic Reduction Scheme for the De Beauvoir Area (Hackney) Consultation Report July 2016
    Cycle Superhighway 1: Motor traffic reduction scheme for the De Beauvoir area (Hackney) Consultation Report July 2016 1 CS1 De Beauvoir area Consultation report Executive summary This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of the consultation on the following scheme: ‘Cycle Superhighway 1: Motor traffic reduction scheme for the De Beauvoir area’. Between 6 October and 16 November 2015, we consulted on proposals for changes in the De Beauvoir area as part of Cycle Superhighway Route 1 (CS1). We sent consultation notification letters to 11,000 addresses in the De Beauvoir area, and sent details to approximately 1,000 stakeholders and 50,000 individuals on our email database. We received 1,180 responses to the consultation, of which 57% supported or partially supported our proposals. We received a petition against our proposals signed by 930 people. The petition opposed the closures to motor traffic and called for decisions on traffic management in the area to be evidence-driven. We received a number of identical emails from residents in Islington objecting to the scheme on the grounds that it would displace motor traffic to nearby roads. The main themes raised during consultation are highlighted below, with detailed analysis in Appendix A on p33. Issues raised by respondents Of the 1,180 people who responded to this consultation, 833 provided a comment on the proposals in the open text field. The most frequently raised issues were: • Positive comments, supporting the principle of reducing through motor traffic in the De Beauvoir area, saying the proposals would be beneficial for cycling, pedestrians, residents, road safety and pollution • Concern from people in Hackney and neighbouring borough Islington about motor traffic displacement to nearby roads, with most concern about Southgate Road and Englefield Road.

Surrounded by greenery, the home can be found on Smalley Close and has leafy views over Stoke Newington Common, as well as its own private, west-facing garden to the rear. Including an extensive basement level (which could be converted subject to the necessary permissions) the living space extends over 1,860 sq ft. The current owner has completed a sensitive restoration to create a light-filled maisonette – which arguably feels more like a house – that is wonderfully suited to contemporary life. +44 (0)20 3687 3071 — inigo.com — [email protected] Smalley Close LONDON SOLD Setting the Scene Listed in 1969, this three-storey terrace flanks one side of the verdant Stoke Newington Common. The terrace was built in the late 18th century, circa 1787; the houses are particularly notable for their handsome London stock-brick façades and large sash windows, each crowned by contrasting and decorative red brick. Originally called Cockhanger Green, the common was renamed as the area was developed during the Victorian era. It became Shacklewell Common, then Newington Common and is now the much-loved Stoke Newington Common, a stretch of land of around five acres and a lovely place to bask in the sun. The Grand Tour Entrance to the house is from Smalley Close, where a gate leads into the rear garden of the apartment. The lawn is framed with floral borders and has a recently added York stone pathway that leads to the maisonette.
