  • PORTSMOUTH ROAD the Thames Landscape Strategy Review 1 9 7
    REACH 03 PORTSMOUTH ROAD The Thames Landscape Strategy Review 1 9 7 Landscape Character Reach No 3 PORTSMOUTH ROAD 4.03.1 Overview 1994-2012 • Construction of new cycle/footpath along Barge Walk and the opening of views across the river • Habitat enhancement in the Home Park including restoration of acid grassland • Long-running planning process for the Seething Wells fi lter beds • TLS initiative to restore the historic Home Park water meadows. • RBKuT Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan K+20 • RBK and TLS Integrated Moorings Business Plan • Management of riverside vegetation along the Barge Walk • Restoration of the Long Water Avenue in 2006 LANDSCAPE CHARACTER 4.03.2 The Portsmouth Road Reach runs north from Seething Wells up to Kingston. The reach has a character of wide open grassland, interrupted only by trees, park and water-works walls and the Portsmouth Road blocks of fl ats. Hampton Court Park extends over the entire Middlesex side right up to Hampton Wick, while the Surrey bank divides between the former Water Works and the Queen’s Promenade. The Portsmouth Road follows the river the length of the reach on the Surrey side. This is one of the only sections of the upstream London Thames where a road has been built alongside the river. The busy road and associated linear developments make a harsh contrast with the rhythm of parkland and historic town waterfronts which characterise the rest of the river. Portsmouth Road 4.03.3 Hampton Court Park is held in the circling sweep of the Thames, as its fl ow curves from south to north.

Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. From: Sent: 17 July 2015 14:58 To: reviews Cc: Subject: Hersham Ward Boundary Changes - Objection Letter. The Review Officer (Elmbridge) Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor, Millbank Tower London SW1P 4QP Hersham Ward Boundary Changes - Objection Letter. Dear Sir or Madam, We object to the merging of Burwood park into Oatlands Park Ward for the reasons stated below. 1. The proposed boundary changes move Burwood Park from an orientation to Hersham Village, to which it shares a postcode, to Oatlands, from which it is physically separated by a railway line. 2. Burwood Park has an affinity with Hersham Village due to the rural nature of the community compared to Oatlands, which is a residential area with no natural centre. Residents of Burwood Park use the facilities of Hersham Village for shopping, the library, the doctor’s surgery and the Park lies within the parish of St Peter’s Church. The proposed new Wards are therefore not orientated correctly. 3. There is a risk that future Burwood Park planning issues will be considered in a residential context rather than the rural environment, which exists today. The current Hersham orientated local councillors understand and fully support the interests of Burwood Park residents. 4. The proposed boundary change to move Burwood Park into the Oatlands Ward, results in a change in parliamentary boundary - from Esher and Walton to Weybridge and Runnymede.
