  • Ladbroke Grove
    Background and Context The Ladbroke Grove Inquiry, which was conducted by Lord Cullen, arose out of the crash at Ladbroke Grove junction on 5 October 1999 between trains operated by Thames Trains and First Great Western. There were 31 fatalities. How the Topic was Handled The inquiry was conducted under section 14 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The inquiry had the following terms of reference: 1. To inquire into, and draw lessons from, the accident near Paddington Station on 5.10.99, taking account of the findings of the HSE ‘s [Health and Safety Executive] into immediate causes. 2. To general experience derived from relevant accidents on the railway since the Hidden inquiry [1988 Clapham Rail Crash], with a view to drawing conclusions about: o factors which affect safety management o the appropriateness of the current regulatory regime 3. In the light of the above, to make recommendations for improving safety on the future railway. The inquiry complemented, rather than replaced, investigations by the Health and Safety Executive. Dr Knapman, the coroner for Inner West London, carried out an inquest into each fatality, into the time and place of death, and the medical cause of death. In accordance with section 17A of the Coroners Act 1988, each of the inquests was adjourned to await the outcome of the inquiry and then not resumed. The costs of the inquest proceedings (much shorter than they would have been if there had been no public inquiry) were met by the local authorities with the coroner’s district (Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Wandsworth and Merton).

The majority of the urban framework comprises Victorian terracing surrounding the conserved historic cores of Stonebridge, Willesden, Bowes Park and Camden which date from Saxon times and are recorded in the Domesday Book (1086). There is extensive industrial and modern residential development (most notably at Park Royal) along the main rail and road infrastructure. The principal open spaces extend across the summits of the ridge, with large parks at Wormwood Scrubs, Regents Park and Hampstead Heath and numerous cemeteries.

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.

  • Silchester Arches
    New Homes Delivery Programme Silchester Arches Analysis of Phase Two stakeholder consultation May 2021 Putting Communities First Team The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea [email protected] Introduction Background The Council is delivering 600 new homes including a minimum of 300 social rent homes, alongside open market homes to rent and other community and employment facilities as part of its New Homes Programme. All of these new homes will be developed on sites owned by the Council. We have also committed to building all the new homes without the loss of any existing homes. The New Homes Delivery Programme (NHDP) has identified a site by Silchester Road as a potential area to help deliver new homes for the borough. This site, currently called Silchester Arches will form part of Stage Two of the NHDP. Consultation methodology Following a first phase of consultation between November 2020 and January 2021, the Council launched a second phase of consultation on 18 March, running to 29 April 2021, to gather stakeholders' views on the emerging proposals. A dedicated page was set up on the Council’s website with details of the proposals and consultation, this included presentation material and a video presentation. Stakeholders were encouraged to provide feedback via an online survey and two virtual live chat sessions were organised for stakeholders to ask questions about the proposals and provide feedback. To ensure those without access to the internet were able to participate, paper copies of material was available on request, as was support in alternative formats (e.g. support for those whose first language is not English).

  • The Crystal Palace
    The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936. The nearby Country United Kingdom residential area was renamed Crystal Palace after the famous landmark Coordinates 51.4226°N 0.0756°W including the park that surrounds the site, home of the Crystal Palace Destroyed 30 November 1936 National Sports Centre, which had previously been a football stadium Cost £2 million that hosted the FA Cup Final between 1895 and 1914.
