  • Colne River Valley
    1. Colne River Valley Key plan Description The Colne River Valley Natural Landscape Area follows the Colne Within the northern Colne Valley, the settlement pattern is relatively River north to south on the western fringe of Greater London, from sparse, although there is a corridor of villages along the Grand Union Stocker’s Lake near Batchworth in the north to Heathrow Airport in Canal. To the south the valley is more densely developed than the the south. Between Batchworth and Uxbridge the valley floor consists north, with industrial towns such as Uxbridge, Yiewsley and West of a series of lakes and reservoirs, edged by ridges and plateaux within Drayton and London’s largest airport, Heathrow. The historic cores the neighbouring Ruislip Plateau (NLA 2) and the Hayes Gravels (NLA which remain within the settlements of Harefield, Uxbridge, West 10). As the River Colne meanders south and the Grand Union Canal Drayton and Harmondsworth suggest how settlement patterns have heads east, the topography gradually levels; historically the River evolved within this area. Despite the intense residential and industrial Colne would have meandered wider here, resulting in an extensive development around Uxbridge, the linear open space corridors area of deep silt soil across an exceptionally wide floodplain.

  • Minet Country Park, Green Space of The
    Minet Country Park, Green Space of the Month June 2004 Contact: Micah Ingalls 0208 574 5935 [email protected] / [email protected] Minet Country Park is a newly created country park on a site of abandoned farmland in West London. International Christian conservation group A Rocha is facilitating the Living Waterways project with involvement of local Asian, white and Black communities from Southall and Hayes. In an area of high-density housing where people have little access to green space, this once derelict site is beginning to flower, providing a welcome resource for local people and a vital habitat for wildlife. Skilled environmental scientists work alongside community activists to monitor changes in the way the site is used by plants, animals and human visitors. The site now has permanent legal protection. But developers are hoping to construct a huge housing estate on adjacent gas works land. A RochaÕs strong links with local community groups help to give voice to the concerns of different sections of the community regarding the future of Minet Country Park. The projectÕs inclusive approach ensures equal opportunities for all staff and volunteers, whilst stimulating interfaith dialogue and assisting social cohesion. A wide-ranging programme of activities gives people of all ages and abilities a chance to get closer to nature. This project is a good example of faith groups working together to tackle issues of social and environmental justice. Living Waterways A Rocha UKÕs Living Waterways project centres upon Minet Country Park, a new green space being created for wildlife habitat and human recreation in the densely built up area of West London where the boroughs of Ealing and Hillingdon meet.

  • Hillingdon May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hillingdon May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hillingdon 1 1. Barra Hall Park 2.

  • Ickenham Neighbourhood Forum Application
    Ickenham Neighbourhood Plan Area application and Ickenham Neighbourhood Forum application Neighbourhood Plan Area application The historic Middlesex village of Ickenham, now part of suburban Greater London, has a strong sense of identity and community spirit. At the 2011 census, roughly 12,000 people lived in the village and our proposed Neighbourhood Area corresponds with local feedback on our borders. Those borders have changed over the centuries, but have remained largely constant since the Chiltern railway and RAF Northolt divided Ickenham from Harefield and Ruislip one hundred years ago, and since the Western Avenue was constructed to our south in the 1950s. Proposed Ickenham Neighbourhood Plan Area A more detailed zoomable map can be viewed on our website here: https://ickenhamplan.wordpress.com/what-area-would-a-plan-cover/ The starting point for the proposed neighbourhood area came from discussions with the Ickenham and Ruislip Gardens Residents’ Associations. Once we had established a proposed area, we consulted Residents’ Associations and Ward Councillors in neighbouring Ruislip, North Hillingdon, North Uxbridge and Harefield. Put simply, this is Ickenham. To the best of our knowledge, everyone living in the proposed area think they live in Ickenham and furthermore, we believe that nobody living outside the proposed area think that they live in Ickenham. Feedback has strongly suggested that we should write a neighbourhood plan for all of Ickenham, rather than just the built-up part of the village, or for the Ickenham electoral ward. Any other boundary would not be an Ickenham boundary, and would exclude parts of the village that people know and love.
