The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • The Butterflies of North and West London
    The butterflies of north and west London Andrew Wood & Leslie Williams This joint meeting with Butterfly conservation heard, firstly a presentation describing a tour through a fictional part of Middlesex recording every butterfly that occurs and comparing the situation now with that in the mid-1980s. In 1987, using records from 1980-86, reports were published on The butterflies of the London area and The butterflies of Hertfordshire. The presentation covered all London boroughs north of the Thames and west of the Lee Valley, which formerly formed parts of London, Hertfordshire and Middlesex. The area has a lot of very good habitats with a lot of green space including old cemeteries, brownfield sites and areas never built on such as parkland, woodland and farmland. Beginning in the winter, the first butterfly on the wing would be the Red admiral, which probably winters in Britain and each year’s butterflies are not all new immigrants as previously thought. It undergoes a diapause rather than hibernation, sheltering in ivy and other creepers and is active on warm winter days. It was fairly well distributed in the 1980s and is now more common virtually everywhere in north and west London. Red Admiral Comma Peacock In late February-early March, the Comma is the first of the true hibernators to emerge. It is active till late October-early November, feeding up for hibernation. Its distribution has not changed much, being common in the 1980s and common now. At about the same time, the Peacock emerges. It is generally in hibernation by late August, hibernation being governed by day-length rather than temperature.

  • Barnet Plateau
    3. Barnet Plateau Key plan Description The Barnet Plateau Natural Landscape Area is part of a plateau of higher land on the north-west rim of the London Basin. The area extends eastwards to the Dollis Brook through East Barnet, southwards as far as the Brent Reservoir, and westwards to the River Crane. It covers a large and very varied area. The underlying geology is dominated by London Clay, but in the northern (and higher) part of the Natural Landscape Area, the summits are defined by more coarse grained, younger rocks of the Claygate Member, and further south a couple of outlying hills are capped by 3.

These correspond with the underlying Claygate Member on the higher points of the plateau (e.g. High Barnet 134m OD). The plateau slopes within the northern part of the Landscape Area may have been shaped by periglacial erosion following the Anglian glacier advance in the Finchley area to the east. The early settlement cores (Stanmore, Harrow, Hadley and Horsenden) are linked by the extensive urban areas of Barnet, Edgware, Kenton, To the north there are patches of farmland with rectangular fields Further south, the built up areas are frequently punctuated by patches Wembley and Greenford.

The launch event was very successful, attracting a large number of people from a wide range of sectors. Many individuals attended who had not previously been involved in the Climate Impacts study but recognised that climate change is an issue that will become increasingly important in the years to come. At the Launch the Environment Minister said “The UK is leading the way in identifying the effects which climate Some climate change is now inevitable, change will have on all parts of the so we are going to have to adapt.” country, including our capital city. While the Mayor of London pointed out the particular issues that London will have to face, saying “The size of this city’s population means that there’s already huge pressure on our resources, so we have to plan properly and strategically to deal with these new demands.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy 2015-21 Strategic
    Appendix 3 – Strategic Environmental Assessment / Sustainability Assessment Local Flood Risk Management Strategy 2015-21 Strategic Environmental Assessment / Sustainability Appraisal 2015 Non-Technical Summary 1.1 This Environmental Report assesses the potential environmental effects that may arise from the implementation of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea‟s Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS). It is required under the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. 1.2 Chapter 2 describes the approach that is being taken to the SEA of the LFRMS and outlines the tasks involved. 1.3 Chapter 3 presents the review of plans policies and programmes, baseline information and key sustainability issues for RBKC. 1.4 Chapter 4 presents the SEA framework that is being used for the SEA of the LFRMS 1.5 Chapter 5 summarises the findings of the SEA of the LFRMS (June 2015). In general, the LFRMS objectives have been found to have mostly positive effects on the environment, due to the LFRMS being a proactive strategy to reduce and manage flooding within RBKC. 1.6 Chapter 6 details the approach that will be taken to monitoring the effects of the LFRMS as it is implemented. The implementation of the strategy is likely to lead to positive effects. No cumulative negative effects are likely to arise as a result of its implementation. Also the strategy will be monitored annually which will help identify and address any unforeseen/unintended cumulative negative impacts. 1.7 Chapter 7 presents the conclusions of the SEA and describes the next steps to be undertaken. The conclusion of the Environmental Report is that the objectives and actions within the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy meet the sustainability objectives identified in the SEA Framework.
