We have built a very good relationship with Spurs’ advisers and professional team on these matters and we are very pleased with the new footpath; but this does not detract from our still strongly held opinion that the very special circumstances put forward in the planning application do not outweigh the inappropriateness or the harm to the open character of the Green Belt. In time we will see here a very large Academy / Training Facility building, with a floor space of 127,000 sq ft on 3 levels, with over 7 acres of land covered with new buildings, roads, hard surfaced car parks and artificial pitches, plus floodlighting and 12 grass pitches; all this on 67 acres of Green Belt land.

  • Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Character Assessment
    LCT C: Urban Valley Floor with Marshlands SPA, which provides a nationally important habitat for overwintering birds. Cultural Influences 4.64 The low-lying land of rich alluvial deposits supported a system of grazing, referred to as the Lammas system5 from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the C19th. Grazing rights on the marshes were extinguished by the early C20th and a substantial proportion of the marshlands, with the exception of Walthamstow Marshes, were then modified by industrial activities and landfill, including the dumping of bomb rubble after WW2. In the 1950 and 60s the construction of flood relief channels ended the periodic inundation of the marshlands. 4.65 Communication routes through the valley floor proliferated over the C20th, including pylons, roads and railway lines mounted on embankments, but residential and industrial development remains largely confined to the margins. 4.66 Public access and recreation now characterises much of the marshlands, with some areas managed as nature reserves. However substantial infrastructure, such as the railway lines and flood relief channels and adjacent industrial development, means access through and into the marshes from surrounding urban areas is often severed. The tow-path following the River Lee Navigation provides a continuous link along the valley for visitors to enjoy the landscape. 5 A system of grazing whereby cattle was grazed only after the cutting and collection of hay Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 85 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 86 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Occasional long views out to wooded valley sides between Residential properties overlooking the southern area across the riverside vegetation.
