The assessment considers the effect of the Proposed Development in the context of heritage legislation and policy on a number of designated heritage assets, all of which are less than 500m from the boundary of the Site. These designated heritage assets have been identified as those which could be potentially affected, in terms of their ‘significance’ as defined in the NPPF, as a result of development on the Site. It should be read in conjunction with the Built Heritage Assessment (“BHA”), which assesses the effect of the Proposed Development on the setting of heritage assets in the wider area, and the Townscape and visual impact assessment (“TVIA”), both within the Environmental Statement Volume II (ref NQ.PA.08 Vol. 2), also prepared by Peter Stewart Consultancy. A section of the grade I listed Dock wall runs below ground through the Site. This aspect of the project is assessed in detail in the Archaeological Desk Based Assessment accompanying the outline planning application and LBC (ref.

  • Board of Works
    BOARD OF WORKS FOB THB LIMEHOUSE DISTRICT. SPECIAL REPORT by Mr. OR TON, Medical Officer of Health, upon the CHOLERA EPIDEMIC of 1866. BRA ax. 4 TO THE LIMEHOUSE BOARD OF WORKS. Gentlemen, At the close of June and early part ofJuly, from the unusual state of the weather, the excessive heat, in connexion with almost a stagnation of the atmosphere, littleor no wind for days together, and the more than usual de­ pression generally felt by a summer temperature, Iwas led to expect as the result, from experience of previous years, an epidemic of fever. But on the outbreak of Cholera inits stead, and finding it more especially selecting the fever haunts for its victims, Iwas strongly disposed to watch it,as of course in a limited sense, a substitutionary or vicarious disease, modified by circum­ stances which Iwas unable to apprehend. Then the Register General's views became known touching the epidemic, the suggestion ofthe foul water poison as the cause, conveyed through the mains of the East London Company at Old Ford. At the time this hypothesis was plausible, seemed almost con­ clusive, and I,among the rest, livinginthe very heart ofthe cholera field, was inclined to acquiesce. But facts daily become more prominent. Ihesitated, paused again and again, until at length Iwas convinced that the water had littleor nothing to do with the Cholera. Then a difficulty arose on a point of decorum, in withstanding the opinion of the Register General, whose courtesy to the medical profession has at all times been gratefully appreciated. There was yet another difficultyin the way— either to fall inwith the general opinion, for terror had made allunanimous, or stifle the expression of my own convictions.
