Conclusions 39 Appendix 1 41 2 Smart Growth UK __________________________________________________________________________ Smart Growth UK is an informal coalition of organisations and individuals who want to promote the Smart Growth approach to planning, transportation and communities. Smart Growth is an international movement dedicated to more sustainable approaches to these issues. In the UK it is based around a set of principles agreed by the organisations that support the Smart Growth UK coalition in 2013:- Urban areas work best when they are compact, with densities appropriate to local circumstances but generally significantly higher than low-density suburbia and avoiding high-rise. In addition to higher density, layouts are needed that prioritize walking, cycling and public transport so that they become the norm. We need to reduce our dependence on private motor vehicles by improving public transport, rail-based where possible, and concentrating development in urban areas. We should protect the countryside, farmland, natural beauty, open space, soil and biodiversity, avoiding urban sprawl and out-of-town development. We should protect and promote local distinctiveness and character and our heritage, respecting and making best use of historic buildings, street forms and settlement patterns.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • Air Quality Action Plan Consultation Report

    Air Quality Action Plan Consultation Report

    London Borough of Newham Air Quality Action Plan Consultation Report Submitted by: London Borough of Newham Alice Billings House 2-12 West Ham Lane Stratford London E15 4SF Contact: Robin Whitehouse (LEHO) – 020 8430 3792 [email protected] Submission date of Report: 28th March 2003 Overview Under the National Air Quality Strategy (NAQS), Newham Council is required to assess the air quality within the borough. The NAQS provides objectives and target dates for various pollutants, which the council must achieve. Where it is unlikely that these objectives will be met the council must declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). Under section 84(2) of the Environment Act 1995, where an AQMA is declared Newham Council must agree an Action Plan to work towards the objectives given. Newham Council has been reviewing its air quality since 1998 and has just completed stage IV of this review and assessment process. Stage III identified that Newham Council will not meet the objectives for PM10 (24hr rolling mean) and nitrogen dioxide (annual average) and so the council declared an AQMA in March 2002. As road traffic is the primary source of pollution, the AQMA falls along major roads in the borough. Government Guidelines (2000) state that air quality action plans (AQAP) should be in place 12 to18 months following an AQMA designation. This Action Plan has been produced using guidance from the National Society for Clean Air and Environment (NSCA), the London Mayors Air Quality Strategy (MAQS) and the Action Plan Appraisal checklist developed by Casella-Stanger (acting on behalf of DEFRA).

  • Lea Valley Rail Report

    Lea Valley Rail Report

    LEA VALLEY RAIL BETTER ACCESS TO JOBS AND HOMES All you want to know about the upgrades of the line! LEA VALLEY RAIL — BETTER ACCESS TO JOBS AND HOMES This report shows how much more the existing railways can achieve and contribute to the Lea Valley’s future economic, social and environmental goals. The Lea Valley requires better connectivity, to help the creation of new jobs and homes and to enable the area’s economic structure to strengthen and grow, with catchments accessible by public transport. This requires smart thinking, better use of existing infrastructure and a few new elements. The Chingford Line Users Association (CLUA) and Railfuture have looked particularly at the Waltham Forest catchments. Waltham Forest is the ‘borough across the Valley’ and needs better integration into the main Lea Valley transport corridors. JRC was commissioned in March 2012 by CLUA and Railfuture (who funded the report) to write an appraisal of three significant rail projects in the Lea Valley, and to set out their merits. This report responds to that commission. It describes each scheme sequentially, the rationales and merits of the proposals, present status, service plans, foreseeable demand and costs, funding matters and next steps. The report’s structure is: Part 1: The Lea Valley’s economic, planning and transport context Part 2: Reopening Lea Bridge station Part 3: Better Lea Valley rail services Part 4: Chingford Line access to Stratford. Practitioners and campaigners will appreciate that securing even small changes in railway services and infrastructure can be a lengthy challenge that needs the best arguments and clarity about the project purpose, and to set out these points to stakeholders, funders and decision-makers.
