  • 1 Conservation Casework Log Notes March 2018
    CONSERVATION CASEWORK LOG NOTES MARCH 2018 The GT conservation team received 136 new cases in England and TWO cases in Wales during February, in addition to ongoing work on previously logged cases. Written responses were submitted by the GT and/or CGTs for the following cases. In addition to the responses below, 47 ‘No Comment’ responses were lodged by the GT and 5 by CGTs in response to planning applications included in the weekly lists. Site County GT Ref Reg Proposal Written Response Grade ENGLAND Bristol Local Plan Avon E17/1570 n/a LOCAL PLAN Bristol Local Plan CGT WRITTEN RESPONSE 31.03.2018 Review We are grateful for the opportunity to comment on this Local Plan Review. As previously notified to you, The Gardens Trust, which is the statutory consultee on matters concerning registered parks and gardens, is now working closely with County Gardens Trusts, and the responsibility for commenting on Local Plan Reviews in this context has now passed to Avon Gardens Trust. The Trust notes that Policy BCS22 Conservation and the historic environment in the Core Strategy of June 2011, and Policy DM31 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies of July 2014 are proposed to be retained. The Local Plan Review consultation document makes a number of strategic proposals, for example to meet housing need, to provide new transport infrastructure, and in respect of employment, land. Such proposals may, depending on location, detailed siting and design, have an impact on registered and unregistered historic parks and gardens. 1 The Trust does not seek to comment on such proposals at the present time, but would expect to be engaged in its role as statutory consultee as and when the details of such proposals are known.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

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 All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg .

The Country Park retains the countryside that was typical of this area for centuries before the surrounding areas became urban. There are hay meadows, hedgerows and green lanes, woodland, scrub, orchards, ponds and a stream. Other grassland includes acid grassland, rough grassland and mown grassland paths. Fryent Country Park extends to 108 hectares formerly in the parishes of Harrow and Kingsbury. The Park is surrounded by suburbia and bisected by Fryent Way (the A4140). From the top of Barn Hill there are views of Wembley Stadium. An outlier from the Park includes the landscaped woodland on the greens of Brampton Grove Open Space and Basing Hill Open Space.

  • Air Raid Precautions in the Borough of Wembley During World War Two
    Air Raid Precautions in the Borough of Wembley during World War Two. When the prospect of war loomed again in the 1930’s, memories went back to the First World War, when London had been bombed by German Zeppelin airships and long-range Gotha aircraft, and poison gas had been used as a weapon. The Government started to make plans to protect the civilian population as best it could, and all local Councils were instructed to make plans for Air Raid Precautions (“A.R.P.”) in their areas. Wembley Council appointed Jack Eddas as its A.R.P. Officer in February 1938. An A.R.P. lapel badge. [Brent Museum collection] Mr Eddas and his team organised the distribution of gas masks to all the residents of the borough, and started planning and recruiting for an air raid wardens’ organisation and for air raid shelters, ready to put these plans into operation as soon as another war with Germany seemed inevitable. A special Civil Defence Committee, chaired by the Mayor, Malcolm Campbell, was set up in July 1939, and eighty Warden Posts were organised across the whole of the borough. At its height, Wembley’s A.R.P. Service had around 2,500 air raid wardens, some working full-time and paid £3 a week, but 95% of them were volunteers, both men and women. A recruiting poster for air raid wardens. [Source: Imperial War Museum (?)] The Council appointed a Chief Warden, who had 12 District Wardens under him, each responsible for supervising all of the A.R.P. Posts and wardens in his District.
