Draft Recommendations on the Future Electoral Arrangements for Thurrock
Draft recommendations on the future electoral arrangements for Thurrock May 2001 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND The Local Government Commission for England is an independent body set up by Parliament. Our task is to review and make recommendations to the Government on whether there should be changes to local authorities’ electoral arrangements. Members of the Commission are: Professor Malcolm Grant (Chairman) Professor Michael Clarke CBE (Deputy Chairman) Peter Brokenshire Kru Desai Pamela Gordon Robin Gray Robert Hughes CBE Barbara Stephens (Chief Executive) We are statutorily required to review periodically the electoral arrangements – such as the number of councillors representing electors in each area and the number and boundaries of wards and electoral divisions – of every principal local authority in England. In broad terms our objective is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, and the number of councillors and ward names. We can also make recommendations for change to the electoral arrangements of parish councils in the borough. © Crown Copyright 2001 Applications for reproduction should be made to: Her Majesty’s Stationery Office Copyright Unit The mapping in this report is reproduced from OS mapping by the Local Government Commission for England with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, © Crown Copyright.

Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted. -

INTRODUCTION 1.1 We would like to get your views on future development and planning of Thurrock to 2021. A new system of “Spatial Planning” has been introduced that goes beyond traditional land-use planning and seeks to integrate the various uses of land with the various activities that people use land for. The new spatial plans must involve wider community consultation and involvement and be based on principles of sustainable development. 1.2 The main over-arching document within the LDF portfolio is the Core Strategy. This sets out the vision, objectives and strategy for the development of the whole area of the borough. The Site Specific Allocations and Policies is very important as it underpins the delivery of the Core Strategy. It enables the public to be consulted on the various specific site proposals that will guide development in accordance with the Core Strategy. 1.3 Many policies in the plans will be implemented through the day-to-day control of development through consideration of planning applications. This document also looks at the range of such Development Control policies that might be needed. -

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE London 30 October 2018 BP p.l.c. Group results Third quarter and nine months 2018 Highlights Strong earnings driven by high reliability and major project delivery • Strong earnings and cash flow: – Underlying replacement cost profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $3.8 billion, more than double a year earlier and the highest quarterly result in more than five years, including significant earnings growth from the Upstream and Rosneft. – Operating cash flow excluding Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments for the quarter was $6.6 billion, including a $0.7 billion working capital build (after adjusting for inventory holding gains). – Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments in the quarter were $0.5 billion on a post-tax basis. – Dividend of 10.25 cents a share for the third quarter, 2.5% higher than a year earlier. • Strong operating performance: – Very good reliability, with the highest quarterly refining availability for 15 years and BP-operated Upstream plant reliability of 95%. – Reported oil and gas production was 3.6 million barrels of oil equivalent a day. Upstream underlying production, which excludes Rosneft and is adjusted for portfolio changes and pricing effects, was 6.8% higher than a year earlier, driven by ramp-up of new projects. Rosneft production of 1.2 million barrels of oil equivalent a day was 2.8% higher than last year. • Strategic delivery: – The Thunder Horse Northwest expansion project in the Gulf of Mexico and the Western Flank B project in Australia began production in October, both ahead of schedule. They are BP’s fourth and fifth Upstream major projects to start up in 2018. -
Gateway Energy Centre Environmental Statement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Parsons Brinkerhoff Ltd. (PB) was commissioned by Gateway Energy Centre Limited (GECL) to undertake a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) at the proposed site of the Gateway Energy Centre (GEC) Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Station. The aim of this FRA is to determine the risk of flooding to the site and the potential flooding impact of the development on the surrounding area. The proposed GEC site is located on the banks of the River Thames, near Coryton in Thurrock. The site is approximately 11.3 ha and forms one of several plots of land within the former Thames Haven Oil Refinery. Alongside development of the GEC, the remainder of the Thames Haven landholding will be developed as the London Gateway (LG) Logistics and Business Park (for further information on the LG Logistics and Business Park and the wider LG Development see the Environmental Statement (ES) Volume 1 of the GEC ES). A Level 3 FRA has already been undertaken for the LG Development as a whole. This FRA indicates that the GEC site is at risk from tidal flooding from the Thames Estuary, particularly from storm surge tides. However, it also indicates that the site is currently protected by flood defences which offer adequate protection of the site from both a 1 in 200 and 1 in 1,000 year flood event. This FRA also indicates that a new dock and quay wall will be constructed as part of the LG Port development which will provide extra protection to the site, beyond the predicted 1 in 1,000 year flood event throughout the lifespan of the CCGT site, even taking into consideration the affects of climate change. -

United Kingdom Overview
‹ Countries United Kingdom Last Updated: June 3, 2014 (Notes) full report Overview The United Kingdom is the largest producer of oil and the second-largest producer of natural gas in the European Union. Following years of exports of petroleum and natural gas, the UK became a net importer of all fossil fuels for the first time in 2013. The United Kingdom (UK) is the sixth largest economy in the world, as well as the largest producer of oil and the second-largest producer of natural gas in the European Union (EU). Following years of exports of both fuels, the UK became a net importer of natural gas and crude oil in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Production from UK oil and natural gas fields peaked around the late 1990s and has declined steadily over the past several years as the discovery of new reserves and new production has not kept pace with the maturation of existing fields. The UK became a net importer of petroleum products in 2013, making it a net importer of all fossil fuels for the first time. The UK government, aware of the country's increasing reliance on imported fuels, has developed key energy policies to address the domestic production declines. These include: using enhanced recovery from current and maturing oil and gas fields, promoting energy efficiency, decreasing the use of fossil fuels and thus reliance on imports, promoting energy trade cooperation with Norway, and decarbonizing the UK economy by investing heavily in renewable energy. However, for the UK to decarbonize its economy, huge investments in the energy infrastructure are needed.
