  • Colne River Valley
    1. Colne River Valley Key plan Description The Colne River Valley Natural Landscape Area follows the Colne Within the northern Colne Valley, the settlement pattern is relatively River north to south on the western fringe of Greater London, from sparse, although there is a corridor of villages along the Grand Union Stocker’s Lake near Batchworth in the north to Heathrow Airport in Canal. To the south the valley is more densely developed than the the south. Between Batchworth and Uxbridge the valley floor consists north, with industrial towns such as Uxbridge, Yiewsley and West of a series of lakes and reservoirs, edged by ridges and plateaux within Drayton and London’s largest airport, Heathrow. The historic cores the neighbouring Ruislip Plateau (NLA 2) and the Hayes Gravels (NLA which remain within the settlements of Harefield, Uxbridge, West 10). As the River Colne meanders south and the Grand Union Canal Drayton and Harmondsworth suggest how settlement patterns have heads east, the topography gradually levels; historically the River evolved within this area. Despite the intense residential and industrial Colne would have meandered wider here, resulting in an extensive development around Uxbridge, the linear open space corridors area of deep silt soil across an exceptionally wide floodplain. The that follow the River Colne, Grand Union Canal and the lakes that Colne River Valley has been and continues to be important both as a they support are dominant landscape features.

In the UK, the current state of knowledge on the health impacts of air pollution is kept up to date by the Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants2, and this has been complemented by London specific studies such as those undertaken by the Institute of Medicine and King’s College London. The most recent report, by King’s College London3, estimated that the equivalent of over 9,000 Londoners died prematurely from long-term exposure to air pollution in 2010. This underlines the fact that air quality is the most pressing environmental threat to the future health of London.

  • Ickenham Neighbourhood Forum Application
    Ickenham Neighbourhood Plan Area application and Ickenham Neighbourhood Forum application Neighbourhood Plan Area application The historic Middlesex village of Ickenham, now part of suburban Greater London, has a strong sense of identity and community spirit. At the 2011 census, roughly 12,000 people lived in the village and our proposed Neighbourhood Area corresponds with local feedback on our borders. Those borders have changed over the centuries, but have remained largely constant since the Chiltern railway and RAF Northolt divided Ickenham from Harefield and Ruislip one hundred years ago, and since the Western Avenue was constructed to our south in the 1950s. Proposed Ickenham Neighbourhood Plan Area A more detailed zoomable map can be viewed on our website here: https://ickenhamplan.wordpress.com/what-area-would-a-plan-cover/ The starting point for the proposed neighbourhood area came from discussions with the Ickenham and Ruislip Gardens Residents’ Associations. Once we had established a proposed area, we consulted Residents’ Associations and Ward Councillors in neighbouring Ruislip, North Hillingdon, North Uxbridge and Harefield. Put simply, this is Ickenham. To the best of our knowledge, everyone living in the proposed area think they live in Ickenham and furthermore, we believe that nobody living outside the proposed area think that they live in Ickenham. Feedback has strongly suggested that we should write a neighbourhood plan for all of Ickenham, rather than just the built-up part of the village, or for the Ickenham electoral ward. Any other boundary would not be an Ickenham boundary, and would exclude parts of the village that people know and love.

At the 2011 census, roughly 12,000 people lived in the village and our proposed Neighbourhood Area corresponds with local feedback on our borders. These borders have changed over the centuries, but have remained largely constant since the Chiltern railway1 and RAF Northolt divided Ickenham from Harefield and Ruislip 100 years ago, and since the Western Avenue (A40) was constructed to our south in the 1950s. 1 Opened in 1906 as the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway 1 The five different shaded areas on the map represent the five different London Borough of Hillingdon electoral wards within the Ickenham boundary. The entire Ickemham ward is included, along with parts of four others. Residents’ Associations in neighbouring Ruislip Gardens, Ruislip, North Hillingdon, North Uxbridge and Harefield have all been consulted on the Neighbourhood Area proposal. Put simply, this is Ickenham’s village boundary. To the best of our knowledge, everyone who lives in this area believes that they live in Ickenham, and nobody living outside this area believes that they live in Ickenham. Any other boundary would not be an Ickenham boundary, and would exclude parts of the village that local people know and love. Our northern boundary follows the Chiltern railway. To our east, the whole Ickenham Marshes complex is included, all the way over to the Ruislip Gardens estate. The Stafford Road allotment site in Ruislip Gardens is not included in the area application.

  • 2016 AGM Chairman's Review of the Year
    2016 AGM Chairman’s review of the year Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’m Jill Dalton the Association Chairman. Many thanks for turning out in such great numbers once again, despite the weather. Thanks also to our MP Nick Hurd and Ward Councillors Ray Puddifoot, John Hensley and David Simmons for coming tonight and showing their support for Ickenham and its residents. We would also like to welcome Inspector Rob Bryan of the Met Police who is in the audience. We have apologies from our patron Malcolm Beaumont, as well as Hanne and Hans Raeder, Brian and Angie Adams and Ian and Anke Phillips. I’ll now present the reports on subjects from Committee Members Membership Our current membership stands at 3,259 households, an increase of 1.88% despite a reduction in life membership this year. The remaining life member households stand at 72. Our membership therefore stands at approximately 67% of Ickenham households. We continue our links with The Drive Association who also contribute subscriptions to our Association. Our road stewards’ team do an excellent job and we would like to express the committee’s thanks to both them and to our area stewards without whom we would not receive our subscription income and you would not receive your newsletters. We continue to seek assistance in the growing Ickenham Park area to help increase our membership in this area of Ickenham. If anyone is interested in helping us in either capacity, not necessarily in the new development, could they please see either our Membership Secretary, Maureen Pemberton, or any committee member after the formal meeting.
