BLOWERS A SOCIAL GEOGRAPHY OF URBAN FRINGE HOUSING ESTATES M.Litt Thesis 1970 ABSTRACT A SOCIAL GEOGRAPHY OF URBAN FRINGE HOUSING SSTAT_ES The thesis explores three themes for each of which hypotheses are put forward based, upon existing research. They are; first, that there are recognisable socio-geographic subdivisions within any community of neighbourhood unit size; second, that design and layout are important determinants of the social pattern; and third, that attitudes to place are the product of environmental as well as individual characteristics. Two urban-fringe council housing estates, broadly similar in age, size, and location, are chosen for study - North Kenton on Tyneside} and the G.L.C. out-county estate at Sheerwater, Woking, Surrey. The research is based on existing data, observation, and direct enquiry of a sampled population by means of a schedule. The environmental and demographic features of the estates are described. Analysis of workplace, shopping, entertainment, and visiting patterns reveals the interaction between each estate and the wider community. While both have attained a degree of functional self-sufficiency, Sheerwater, more isolated from the former homes of its residents, has achieved more social integration than North Kenton. The North Kenton survey emphasises the impact of the built environment which has resulted in the socio-geographic characteristic of the estate. Certain problems,affecting old people and young children especially, have arisen from failures in layout and design. At Sheerwater attitudes to place and spatial perception are examined and the role of individual experience and aspiration, and personal mobility are among the factors considered. Beyond the estate perceptual clarity diminishes though it is clearly influenced by the main lines of communication. In conclusion, the inter-relationship of the major themes is demonstrated and the validity of the initial hypotheses upheld. The research area is a broad one and suggests lines of future enquiry. In particular the theme of spatial perception offers considerable scope for all forms of geographical study. So many people have given invaluable help in the preparation of this thesis that it is difficult to know where to begin. Here it is possible to record my thanks to some of those without whom the whole enterprise would have foundered. The City Planning Department of Newcastle upon Tyne and the Housing Department of the G-.L.C. provided the background information and statistical data so essential at the commencement of the work on each estate. Of the individuals who helped, I am indebted to Misses Christine Hitchcock and Jenny Chadwick for their help in the preparation of the maps. Mr. Ashley Selby gave expert assistance both with the maps and the plates. I am, however, especially grateful to Susan Howlett, my typist, who has coped with my writing and the continuous redrafting and correction which made the use of stencils necessary. It is largely through her efforts that the problems and frustrations of the final stages of the work have been overcome. Throughout the time I have been engaged in the project my Supervisor, Dr. David Thorpe, has given inspiration, guidance, and logical criticism. To my wife, Gill, I owe my thanks for acting as both critic and advocate and for sustaining me with her encouragement. And, lastly, my thanks are due to the anonymous residents of North Kenton and Sheerwater who willingly submitted to my interrogation and upon whom the whole work depends.

There has been little or no consideration of the huge environmental damage it would do or the loss of food production involved. Misleading claims have been made about it having the highest productivity or it being the centre of the knowledge economy yet no-one apparently has asked whether, if the Arc concept is a sound one, there are other places in the UK it could be applied more productively and less damagingly. What they propose The Arc has grown since its inception from the “blob on a map” proposed by the National Infrastructure Commission to five whole counties plus Peterborough and the ill-defined M4 and M11 corridors. The NIC grew from a plan to link Oxford and Cambridge by motorway, via the NIC’s plans for new settlements and a million sprawl homes, to the Government’s plan to turn England’s bread and vegetable basket into “a world-leading economic place”. A new motorway from Cambridge to Newbury is at the centre of the plan which also claims the long-hoped-for Oxford-Cambridge railway reopening as its own idea.

Annexe D Surveys and research Annexe E References and acknowledgements 2 1 Introduction 1.1 We need to consider whether we need standards for green spaces in Newcastle. What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.
