  • Appendix 7.1 Policy
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 7.1 Policy INTRODUCTION This appendix outlines key policies relating to the London Resort at the national, regional and local planning authority (LPA) levels, in relation to socio-economics. The policies of the following key stakeholders have been reviewed and presented in this appendix: local authorities within the core study area (CSA), namely Dartford, Gravesham and Thurrock, local enterprise partnerships (LEPs), regional bodies including the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP), the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) and Kent County Council (KCC), and government departments. This appendix aims to act as a more detailed review of the polices that are referenced in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio- economics, with a focus on the key themes of relevance to socio-economics. POLICY SUMMARIES This section summarises the policy priorities and requirements across all stakeholders, grouped by key topic area. The key purpose of this section is to provide a link to where each policy theme is addressed in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio-economics. Economic growth The NPPF chapter 6 focuses on growing a strong, competitive economy. At the sub- regional levels, both the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP) and the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) note productivity issues in their economies (as is the case at the national level) and establish policies focusing on improving their productivity. In fact, the TGKP identifies the Swanscombe Peninsula area as a key employment location in which they would like to attract and retain investment. At the Core Study Area (CSA) level, Dartford’s Core Strategy states that key growth sectors include the creative industries, hospitality, leisure, built environment and construction.

  • Fragile Gods: Ceramic Figurines in Roman Britain Volume 1
    Fragile Gods: Ceramic Figurines in Roman Britain Volume 1 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Reading Matthew G. Fittock December 2017 Declaration I certify that this is my own work and that use of material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged in the text. I have read the University’s definition of plagiarism and the department’s advice on good academic practice. I understand that the consequence of committing plagiarism, if proven and in the absence of mitigating circumstances, may include failure in the Year or Part or removal from the membership of the University. I also certify that neither this piece of work, nor any part of it, has been submitted in connection with another assessment. Signature: Date: i Abstract As small portable forms of statuary, pipeclay objects provide a valuable insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the culturally mixed populations of the Roman provinces. This thesis provides a complete catalogue of the nearly 1000 published and unpublished pipeclay objects found in Britain, including figurines, busts, shrines, animal vessels and masks. This research is the first study of this material conducted since the late 1970s. Pipeclay objects were made in Gaul and the Rhine-Moselle region but not in Britain. Attention thus focuses on where and how the British finds were made by analysing their styles, types, fabrics and any makers’ marks. This reveals how the pipeclay market in Britain was supplied and how these objects were traded, and suggests that cultural rather than production and trade factors were more influential on pipeclay consumption in Britain.
