They will addressed by bringing together engineering, provide the means to capture and distribute planning, finance and regulatory expertise into heat from a diverse mix of primary as well as an integrated project delivery unit. secondary heat sources to serve homes and businesses. Development of district heating Arup’s multidisciplinary approach to district networks at scale across the capital over the heating project delivery underpins our work next ten years is therefore essential for London in London and across the UK. We support to meet the Mayor’s target of meeting 25% public and private sector clients from early of London’s energy needs from decentralised stage resource assessments and policy advice sources by 2025. through to scheme design, business case and procurement. We work closely with clients at Thanks to previous mayoral programmes such each stage to scope the opportunities, analyse as the London Heat Map and Decentralised the fundamentals and develop practicable Energy Masterplanning (DEMaP), the solutions for bankable projects. challenge today is no longer knowing where the opportunities lie; it is understanding how to deliver them in the face of multiple barriers, including: - long investment horizons; - limited windows of opportunity; - an opaque regulatory framework; - a stigma of poorly performing schemes in the past; and - limited experience among local authorities and developers. 2 Understanding the challenge Delivering solutions The unique working philosophy at Arup – Through our global knowledge management founded on flexibility, transparency and systems, we are able to harness ideas and ability to deliver – is ideally suited to practical experience from projects worldwide. delivering district heating and distributed energy projects.

  • NLWA Annual Report 2020/21
    Annual Report 2020-21 1. Background 1.1 The Annual Report for the Authority is produced each year for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in June. The report uses waste tonnage data which is still subject to final validation by the national waste data system, WasteDataFlow, so may be subject to further minor changes. Because this data validation is not completed until September each year the Authority usually also produces its annual Waste Strategy Monitoring Report, which includes the validated numbers, in December each year. 1.2 NLWA’s largest ever project – the North London Heat and Power Project, (NLHPP) continued as a key focus throughout the year. The NLHPP is the Authority’s project to replace the existing energy-from-waste facility at the Edmonton EcoPark with a new energy-recovery-facility (ERF) and to provide associated new assets which support recycling. Other recycling and waste prevention activities to manage and reduce the volume of residual waste are set out in the Residual Waste Reduction Plan 2020-2022 and were also implemented during the year. The remaining activities to deliver the 2004-2020 North London Joint Waste Strategy were also delivered. All of the targets within the joint waste strategy have now been achieved, with the exception of reaching a recycling rate of 50%. NORTH LONDON WASTE AUTHORITY / ANNUAL REPORT 2020-2021 2 2.

  • 2020-05-26 XR Rebuttal of NLWA Claims
    STATEMENT 26 MAY 2020 of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Media contact: +44 7710 269195 Hackney, Haringey, Islington [email protected] & Waltham Forest, together with Extinction Rebellion London TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT incineration The North London Waste Authority (NLWA) has responded to calls for a pause and review of its North London Heat and Power Project (NLHPP)—which includes plans to construct a new incinerator in Edmonton— with statements that include some questionable claims. These statements appear in a letter signed by NLWA chair Cllr Clyde Loakes and dated 21 April 2020, and in a Hackney Citizen article of 11 March 2020, which quotes Hackney Cllr Jon Burke.1 They reveal that the NLWA still is not taking recycling or climate breakdown seriously. In this document, Extinction Rebellion (XR) corrects the record with the intention of convincing North London councillors to pause and review the NLHPP so that the seven boroughs that constitute the NLWA may be free to pursue more sustainable waste management options and help London meet its circular economy policy objectives. The current incinerator is operational until 2027, so there is time for a rethink, as long as procurement and preparatory works are put on hold. This rebuttal is meant as a complement to a letter that XR sent to all North London councillors on 11 March 2020. That letter provides a thoroughly sourced rundown of the environmental, financial, and governance problems associated with the NLHPP, as well as details on proven alternatives to incineration. It is available at: https://stop-edmonton-incinerator.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/2020-03-11-XR-incinerator-letter.pdf.

  • Employment & Regeneration in LB Enfield
    Employment & Regeneration in LB Enfield September 2015 DRAFT 1 Introduction • LB Enfield and Enfield Transport Users Group (ETUG) have produced a report suggesting some large scale alterations to the bus network. One of the objectives of the report is to meet the demands of the borough’s housing and regeneration aspirations. • TfL have already completed a study of access to health services owing to a re-configuration of services between Chase Farm, North Middlesex and Barnet General Hospital and shared this with LB Enfield. • TfL and LB Enfield have now agreed to a further study to explore the impact of committed development and new employment on bus services in the borough as a second phase of work. 2 DRAFT Aims This study will aim to: •Asses the impact of new housing, employment and background growth on the current network and travel patterns. •Highlight existing shortfalls of the current network. •Propose ideas for improving the network, including serving new Developments. 3 DRAFT Approach to Study • Where do Enfield residents travel to and from to get to work? • To what extent does the coverage of the bus network match those travel patterns? • How much do people use the bus to access Enfield’s key employment areas and to what extent is the local job market expected to grow? • What are the weaknesses in bus service provision to key employment areas and how might this be improved? • What is the expected growth in demand over the next 10 years and where are the key areas of growth? • What short and long term resourcing and enhancements are required to support and facilitate growth in Enfield? 4 DRAFT Methodology •Plot census, passenger survey and committed development data by electoral ward •Overlay key bus routes •Analyse existing and future capacity requirements •Analyse passenger travel patterns and trip generation from key developments and forecast demand •Identify key issues •Develop service planning ideas 5 DRAFT Population Growth According to Census data LB Enfield experienced a 14.2% increase in population between 2001 and 2011 from 273,600 to 312,500.

It is situated in north central London. Haringey is considered to be an outer London borough. However, its proximity and public transport access to Central London and its socio-economic make-up mean that it shares many characteristics with inner London boroughs. Haringey is strategically located in the London-Stansted- Cambridge-Peterborough Growth Area, and is therefore a focus for new housing growth by central government and the Greater London Authority. With strong links to the City, West End, the Upper Lee Valley and Stansted Airport the borough is very well placed as a business location and as a base for out-commuting. 1.2 Haringey is currently preparing its Local Development Framework Core Strategy – A New Plan for Haringey. This will guide growth in the Borough for the London Plan period to 2016 and beyond to 2026. Haringey has a target of 6,800 new homes for the period between 2006 and 2016/17.
