    5. Hampstead Ridge Key plan Description The Hampstead Ridge Natural Landscape Area extends north east from Ealing towards Finsbury and West Green in Tottenham, comprising areas of North Acton, Shepherd’s Bush, Paddington, Hampstead, Camden Town and Hornsey. A series of summits at Hanger Lane (65m AOD), Willesden Green Cemetery (55m AOD) and Parliament Hill (95m AOD) build the ridge, which is bordered by the Brent River to the north and the west, and the Grand Union Canal to the south. The dominant bedrock within the Landscape Area is London Clay.

Hampstead Ridge Hampstead 5. of loam over sandstone which lies over an outcrop of the Bagshot Formation and the Claygate Member. 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 open space matrix is a combination of semi-natural woodland habitats, open grassland, scrub and linear corridors along railway lines and the Grand Union Canal. 50 London’s Natural Signatures: The London Landscape Framework / January 2011 Alan Baxter Natural Signature and natural landscape features Natural Signature: Hampstead Ridge – A mosaic of ancient woodland, scrub and acid grasslands along ridgetop summits with panoramic views.

You can use CTRL + F/ Level 2: GCSE or equivalent level qualifications Command + F to search for Level 3: A Level or equivalent level qualifications your school or college. Notes: 1. The education indicators are based on a combination of three years' of school performance data, where available, and combined using z-score methodology. For further information on this please follow the link below. 2. 'Yes' in the Level 2 or Level 3 column means that a candidate from this school, studying at this level, meets the criteria for an education indicator. 3. 'No' in the Level 2 or Level 3 column means that a candidate from this school, studying at this level, does not meet the criteria for an education indicator. 4. 'N/A' indicates that there is no reliable data available for this school for this particular level of study. All independent schools are also flagged as N/A due to the lack of reliable data available. 5. Contextual data is only applicable for schools in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland meaning only schools from these countries will appear in this list.

  • Impact of Building Schools for the Future Announcement of Monday 5 July 2010
    Impact of Building Schools for the Future announcement of Monday 5 July 2010 1. This list sets out the impact on schools of the announcement on Building Schools for the Future (BSF) made by the Secretary of State for Education on Monday 5 July 2010. It has been produced by Partnerships for Schools (PfS) after validation at senior level in Local Authorities and rigorously checked by the Department for Education, including by making telephone contact with every Local Authority listed and with all affected Academy sponsors. 2. This process of checking has been necessary because of the complexity of the BSF process, to ensure the accuracy of this list and, in particular, because, to date, PfS has collected data from Local Authorities about BSF schools as they progressed. Rather than micromanaging individual schools, PfS has relied on Local Authority-level information. 3. All Local Authorities which were participating in BSF are listed, plus those who have had one school pathfinders or academies built or being built through the Partnerships for Schools Academies Framework. That is 102 Local Authorities out of a total of 152. And every school which was included within a Local Authority project is listed and is categorised as either ‘open’, ‘unaffected’, ‘for discussion’ or ‘stopped’. 1592 schools are listed in total. 159 are categorised as ‘open’, 547 as ‘unaffected’, 151 as ‘for discussion’ and 735 as ‘stopped’. 4. For simplicity, and because large numbers of pupils cross constituency boundaries to attend school, this list does not provide a breakdown of schools by constituency. 5. There are many examples of Local Authorities in this list having schools in more than one of these categories.

  • Review of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation in Ealing
    Review of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation in Ealing Prepared jointly by the GLA and Ealing Council Council update (October 2008) Page 1 Review of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation in Ealing This is a list of sites identified as being of importance for nature conservation under the procedures detailed in Policy, criteria and procedures for identifying nature conservation sites in London, adopted by the Mayor of London in his Biodiversity Strategy as the basis for such work in London. The list has been produced jointly by the Greater London Authority’s Biodiversity Strategy team and officers of Ealing Council, and, once agreed, will constitute the recommended sites to be protected for nature conservation in Ealing’s LDF. It is based on a survey commissioned by the Greater London Authority in 2005 and updates the list of sites in the London Ecology Unit’s handbook Nature Conservation in Ealing of 1991 and the sites protected in Ealing’s adopted UDP of 2004. The proposed changes outlined in this report are to be taken forward through the LDF process. Ongoing consultation on these changes is being undertaken. The report should be read in conjunction with the map appended separately, which maps the new site boundaries as recommended in this report. So that the changes can be better understood, the boundaries of the sites as identified in the 2004 adopted UDP are also plotted on this map. The different grades of site Sites of Metropolitan Importance Sites of Metropolitan Importance for nature conservation are those sites which contain the best examples of London’s habitats, sites which contain particularly rare species, rare assemblages of species or important populations of species, or sites which are of particular significance within otherwise heavily built-up areas of London.

Covering the whole borough, the Policies Map illustrates geographically the application of policies in the adopted DPDs. In this regard it will: - identify areas of protection, such as Green Belt and nature conservation sites, defined through the development plan process. - allocate sites for particular land use and development proposals included in any adopted development plan documents, - and in doing so, sets out the areas to which specific policies apply. Given the interdependent relationship between the designations on the policies map and the policies in the DPD, the table at appendix 1 of this booklet has been prepared to identify the relevant ‘policy hook’/antecedent for each of the designations/layers shown on the policies map (including this booklet). The Policies Map comprises a large scale map sheet (approximately A0 size), prepared on an Ordnance Survey base, at a scale which is sufficient to allow the policies and proposals to be clearly illustrated.

  • TREC Section 3: Perivale Station to Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park
    TREC Section 3: Perivale Station to Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park. Distance: 9.3 km (5.5 miles). Optional 1.2 km (0.75mile) extension for Brentham Garden Suburb tour. Public Transport: Section 3 starts at Perivale Underground Station (West Ruislip branch of the Central line), which is also served by the 297 bus route (Willesden Bus Garage to Ealing Broadway). The walk ends at Acton Town Underground Station (District and Piccadilly lines). Linking options for Hanger Lane, North Ealing and Ealing Common Stations are given along the route. Surface and Terrain: The majority of the route is on firm ground, initially pavement walking, then after crossing the A40, through Pitshanger Park and revisiting the Brent River Park route which we left in Section 2. There is a gradual ascent and descent of Hanger Hill, again mostly using park footpaths with some pavement walking around the area of North Ealing Station. The second half of the route takes you across Ealing Common, and a further short section of pavement walking to get to Gunnersbury Park where you can explore its recently restored Mansion, local history museum and landscaped grounds. Finally there is a short pavement section to Acton Town Station. Refreshments: Perivale Station (shop, limited opening); Pitshanger Park (seasonal/variable hours); North Ealing Station (pub, cafe and shops on Queens Drive); Gunnersbury Park. Covid- 19 restrictions: Check availability of refreshments and toilets before your walk. Public Toilets: Perivale Station; North Ealing Station (charge); Gunnersbury Park; Acton Town Station (charge). Perivale is the smallest of the seven towns of the London Borough of Ealing, cut through by the Paddington Branch of the Grand Union Canal (see Section 2) and the A40 Western Avenue, crossed during this walk.
