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.

    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.

The London Borough of Brent is situated in the upper reaches of the River Brent catchment. The River Brent flows through the Borough in a southerly direction flowing through the Welsh Harp Reservoir into the River Thames. Wembley Stadium and the surrounding area of regeneration are located at the centre of the Borough, extending from Burnt Oak, Kenton and Kingsbury in the north to Harlesden, Queens Park and Kilburn in the south. 2. The Borough covers an area of approximately 4,325 hectares and has a population of 267,000 (2001 Census). It is estimated that there are over 118,500 properties within the London Borough of Brent, based on address point data1. Approximately 667 of these homes and businesses are potentially at risk of flooding in a 1% (1 in 100 year) flood event, and 2299 properties are at risk in a 0.1% (1 in 1000 year) flood event. 3. This document has been prepared in close consultation with the Council and the Environment Agency, and provides a spatial overview of the risks posed by flooding (from various sources) across the Borough of Brent. The Brent SFRA has been developed in accordance with PPS25 (December 2006) and the Practice Companion Guide (A Living Draft, February 2007). 4. This report (and the supporting mapping) represents the Level 1 SFRA2, and should be used by the Council to inform the application of the Sequential Test.
