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.

In the UK, the current state of knowledge on the health impacts of air pollution is kept up to date by the Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants2, and this has been complemented by London specific studies such as those undertaken by the Institute of Medicine and King’s College London. The most recent report, by King’s College London3, estimated that the equivalent of over 9,000 Londoners died prematurely from long-term exposure to air pollution in 2010. This underlines the fact that air quality is the most pressing environmental threat to the future health of London.
