Description: The A2 strategic green infrastructure grid route follows the A13/NCR 13 corridor at the southern edge of this section. To the west of Gascoigne Road, the A13 The Green Infrastructure Strategy western area amalgamates the Barking Town SOUTH is in an elevated section presenting no opportunities for green infrastructure Centre and the Faircross, Leftley and Upney ‘Borough Places’. This is the most intervention. To the west, opportunities exist to further develop recent initiatives urbanised portion of the borough but one that includes a number of key green with green infrastructure initiatives (e.g. A13/River Road junction) and to green infrastructure assets including Castle Green and Barking Park. The western area the corridor (e.g. A13/Lodge Avenue junction). To the north, a connection could is an important gateway to the Roding Valley that forms the western boundary be established from the Roding to Barking Park via Harts Lane and the Barking of the borough and and to the north west and storm relief channel, although the later has an industrial character at its western the western end of a series of strategic and local green infrastructure routes extreme. GR4 connecting Barking Park, Mayesbrook Park, Parsloes Park to the Beam Valley and PROJECT its suite of SINCs and Green Belt land on the eastern fringes of the borough. To the east, a number of local green infrastructure grid connections could be established between Barking Park and Mayesbrook Park. In the main these follow Key issues: GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE & existing designated cycle routes (e.g. the route linking The Drive with Upney BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY Although the Roding Valley (from its confluence with the Thames) is a key green Lane via Manor Road and Sandringham Road). These are densely-packed streets with limited opportunities for verge greening but the well-developed street tree infrastructure corridor connecting the borough with Wanstead Flats and Epping DRAWING TITLE Forest, north-south connectivity across this area is affected by its densely urban stock could be reinforced (e.g. along Manor Road). A local route running north east on Longbridge Road could connect Barking Park with the Mayes Brook at nature and the preponderantly industrial uses of the river frontage between the CHARACTER AREAS Thames and Castle Green (with intermittent green connectivity in some sections). the northern end of Mayesbrook Park and Goodmayes Recreation Ground and North -south connectivity is thus via Gascoigne Road and Abbey Road, where new Goodmayes Park to the north. Longbridge Avenue has wide verges and a number street tree planting and community greenspace development opportunities could of community green spaces adjoining housing sites on its southern fringe. This STATUS be developed. area of the borough has been identified as a surface water flood risk area and surface water swales providing flood risk attenuation could be considered within FINAL ISSUE community green spaces.
