Your path to home ownership What is shared ownership? Shared ownership is another way to buy your own home. You buy a percentage, and pay rent on the rest. The housing association owns part of it — but you’re living there, you decorate it, and you decide when to sell. Buying a percentage means a smaller deposit and smaller mortgage.

  • Monitoring and Predicting Railway Subsidence Using Insar and Time Series Prediction Techniques
    Monitoring and Predicting Railway Subsidence Using InSAR and Time Series Prediction Techniques ZIYI YANG A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Civil Engineering College of Engineering and Physical Sciences The University of Birmingham, UK March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Abstract Improvements in railway capabilities have resulted in heavier axle loads and higher speed operations. Both of these factors increase the dynamic loads on the track. As a result, railway subsidence has become a threat to good railway performance and safe railway operation. Poor infrastructure performance requires more maintenance work, and therefore the life cycle costs of the railway will increase. In order to ensure good performance and reduce life cycle costs, railway subsidence should be monitored and predicted. The author of this thesis provides an approach for railway performance assessment through the monitoring of railway subsidence and prediction of railway subsidence based on a time series of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The railway is a long and relatively narrow infrastructure, which subsides continuously over a long time period.

Introduction 1.1 A Plan for Lenham 1.1.1 This is the Regulation 14 version Lenham Neighbourhood Plan. It covers the parish of Lenham, as illustrated in Figure 1. It sets out the local community’s aspirations for Lenham over the period to 2031 and establishes policies in relation to land use and development. These are policies that will influence future planning applications and decisions in the area. 1.1.2 The purpose of neighbourhood planning is to give local people and businesses a much greater say in how the places in which they live and work should change and develop over time. Neighbourhood planning is designed to give local people a very real voice in deciding the look and feel of an area, from determining the location of shops, offices and schools for example, to identifying sites and development standards for new housing.
