Please include the name of these parks, the location of these, parks, the date these parks were opened, and the size of these parks. We can confirm that the ODA does not hold the data you have requested. However, we can advise you that with assistance of CABE space, the government’s advisor on parks and public space, the ODA studied the most recent modern Olympic Parks which were created following the Games in Munich (1972) through to the Games hosted in Beijing (2008).The ODA also visited a number of parks within the UK including London’s Royal Parks, Greenwich Ecology Park, Mile End Park, West Ham and Victoria Park. The outcome of these studies and consultations resulted in objectives for the parklands and public realm and were published in the Design and Access Statement which supported the planning application which is available to view on the ODA Planning Decisions Team Website: httix//rdt. london20 1 2.com/planninq/planninq-register. php.

  • High Rise Buildings in London – from 1066 up to Today
    John Harvey, IRIS Consulting, Article on Tall Buildings in London Based on a talk given to the Society of Quantity surveyors in June 2015 This article reviews the history of high rise buildings in London – from 1066 up to today. First it provides some basic facts and history about London’s tallest buildings Secondly it looks back at trends and developments affecting high rise construction over the past 100 years or so Finally it assesses what has happened in the last decade or so and looks ahead to the 250 high rise buildings that currently have been approved or are in the pipeline So first some historical perspectives starting with the Norman invasion in 1066 and the construction of the Tower of London by William the Conqueror and his successors. So this history of tall buildings in London begins with the completion of the White Tower, a part of the Tower of London, in 1098. For over a hundred years between 1098 and 1310 the White Tower in the Tower of London was London’s tallest structure. It was 90 feet high or 27 metres (of course in those days the French were not using metres!) The White Tower’s claim to be the tallest building only fell when the old St Paul’s Cathedral was built and completed. Although there is some debate and no absolutely authentic measurement records there are reports that the spire of the old St Paul’s was 493 feet high (160 metres). That spire was destroyed by lightning in 1561 100 years before the Great Fire of London.

    Gabelli Merger Plus+ Trust Plc Plus+ Trust Gabelli Merger Annual Report and Accounts 2018 and Accounts Annual Report Gabelli Merger Plus+ Trust plc Annual Report and Accounts For the period ended 30 June 2018 MERGER INVESTING SINCE 1977 “There are many advantages to investing in risk arbitrage. Let’s focus on three: risk arbitrage returns are not closely correlated with those of the stock market; they are less volatile than returns on the S&P 500; and longer term they are higher than those returns afforded by traditional investing. While these three factors provide for excellent results in the world of arbitrage, the real beauty of risk arb investing is that there is rarely a down year. Because risk arb returns are consistently positive year in and year out, they fulfill the concept of a compound return. We proclaim this source of compounded earnings as the eighth wonder of the world. Compounding is the secret to wealth creation over a period of decades.” Mario Gabelli (Deals...Deals...and More Deals, 1999) ENGLISH ITALIAN CHINESE JAPANESE Deals...Deals...and More Deals - Now in four languages.

Revenues grew 21% to £12.8m (2012: £10.6m) with 10% arising from organic growth and 11% as a result of acquisitions. Profit after tax improved 76% to £637,000 (2012: £361,000). Underpinning our organic growth in earnings was our most successful year in terms of new management instructions. While competition in the property services market remains strong, HML welcomes the degree to which its clients recognise the value of local and independent customer service. The proportion of new business arising from new build management instructions remains at a historically low level; however, we anticipate that the contribution from this sector will start to grow in the years to come. The number of residential properties under management increased by19% to approximately 40,000 units. In February 2013, we announced the acquisition of The Guthrie Partnership, which represents a significant milestone in the geographical expansion of HML’s services and we look forward to its impact on income in the current year.
