    SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBOURHOODS IN PLANNING HIGHGATE COMMUNITY PLANNING WORKSHOP JANUARY 2013 OUTCOMES CONTENTS • About The Prince’s Foundation • About neighbourhood planning • Results of community engagement to date • Workshop programme • Emerging actions and policy ideas • Emerging ideas for focused intervention areas • Recommended next steps • Neighbourhood plan structure and examples from elsewhere THE PRINCE’S FOUNDATION AND NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING PROGRAMME Prince’s Foundation provides support to communities developing Neighbourhood Plans under the new legislation. Our role in Highgate • Independent facilitation • Technical advice • Hands-on support (drawing, mapping) This work is funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) as part of the Supporting Communities and Neighbourhoods in Planning programme 2011-13. Keys to a successful place • A centre with shops, schools, and other facilities, within easy walking distance of people’s homes – ‘5 minute pint test’ • A range of homes which respond to people’s needs both now and in the future. • A range of facilities, designed to offer something for everyone, from young to old. • A place that has character and an identity, with both connections to the past and a vision for the future. • Interesting, imaginative buildings and spaces, rather than an area where everything looks the same. • A place that feels safe, especially at night. • Green spaces nearby, well-maintained, which can be used by everyone. • Public transport that is easy to access and runs often enough to be practical. • Jobs available locally so people can work, as well as live, in their neighbourhood. Why sustainable neighbourhoods? In a world where: • natural resources are becoming scarce / energy is increasing in price • more people are competing for resources • the population is aging and households getting smaller, and • the climate is changing.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary during the 2010–11 academic year, the Lawrence London Centre has impacted decades of students and remains the most popular off-campus study choice for Lawrence students. It is my pleasure to introduce the Ruby Jubilee Chronicle, a book that commemorates and celebrates this important anniversary milestone.

The postal district for Highgate is N6. It is one of the more expensive suburbs to live in and has an active conservation society, The Highgate Society, to protect its character. Hampstead Lane and Highgate Hill contain the red brick Victorian buildings of Highgate School and its adjacent Chapel of St Michael. The school has played a paramount role in the life of the village and has existed on its site since its founding was permitted by letters from Queen Elizabeth I in 1565. Highgate is noteworthy for its Cemetery and Georgian architecture. It is also the location of Berthold Lubetkin's two Highpoint apartment buildings. The MP for the Hampstead and Highgate constituency since 1992 has been Labour's Glenda Jackson.

    Subject: Questions To The Mayor Report Number: 4 Report to: London Assembly Date: 14/09/05 Report of: Director Of Secretariat 1555 / 2005 - Crossrail Jenny Jones Are you concerned that Crossrail will stimulate long distance commuting to the City from counties to the West of London and generate new pressures for housing developments in these rural localities? * 1556 / 2005 - Crossrail use of Eurostar Depot Jenny Jones Has the Crossrail team considered using the soon to be redundant Eurostar depot at North Pole (west of Paddington) or depot facilities at Oak Common (if the Heathrow Express moved to North Pole) as an alternative to the proposed depot at Romford, which is meeting considerable local opposition? * 1557 / 2005 - Crossrail Jenny Jones The Crossrail Bill provides for no significant new capacity on existing parts of the rail network (Maidenhead/Paddington and Shenfield/Liverpool St) which are close to capacity now (with only 2 tracks in each direction). A joint representation on the Bill from the rail industry, including freight operators and the Rail Freight Group, says that Crossrail represents a great threat to existing passenger and freight services in technically giving primacy to Crossrail over other services. Do you agree that if rail freight is to be protected and expanded the only long term solution is to provide additional tracks where possible , and that, the current Crossrail Bill poses a threat to rail freight and existing passenger services, by giving Crossrail control of one set of tracks? * 1558 / 2005 - Crossrail
