The M25 as it passes through the study area follows a broad shallow valley, rising to the north and south following the ground level. There is one property (Grove Farm) encircled by the Scheme Development Consent Order (DCO) boundary as well as isolated properties within the study area to the west located adjacent to the Maylands Golf Club. Further afield the settlements of Harold Hill and Harold Park lie adjacent to the Scheme. The Ingrebourne River and Weald Brook flow through the study area passing under the A12 at Putwell Bridge. Overhead electricity pylons run in a north to south direction and are a dominant feature in the landscape. Weald Park, a Grade II Registered Park and Garden located approximately 800 m to the north of junction 28, lies within the study area. There are areas of tree planting that run along the A12 and M25 these serve to limit the visual impact of these highways on the surrounding area although the from the traffic is always present, disturbing the tranquillity of the area. The Scheme has been developed to limit as far as possible the impact on the surrounding landscape with the introduction of the proposed loop road and associated slip roads. Despite this there are areas of unavoidable losses to ancient and mature woodland blocks (including veteran trees) and other vegetation associated with the improvements to the highway infrastructure which will have an impact on the landscape. It will also increase the visibility of the roads and traffic leading to increased visual impact for certain receptors particularly during the construction phase. Because of the extent of the ancient and mature woodland blocks, vegetation and landform in the area the adverse impacts are not as significant as they could have been, with the effects largely limited to the immediate area. The Scheme also includes large areas of mitigation planting to reduce the impact of the Scheme and to offset the losses of vegetation and ancient and mature woodland blocks.

Landscape and visual 9.1 Introduction 9.1.1 This chapter considers the likely effects of the proposed M25 junction 28 Scheme (hereafter referred to as ‘the Scheme’) upon the surrounding landscape and visual receptors. 9.1.2 This chapter describes the findings of the assessment and should be read in conjunction with Appendix 9.1 (application document TR010029/APP/6.3) and Figures 9.1 to 9.8 (application document TR010029/APP/6.2). 9.1.3 The landscape and visual assessment has been carried out following published guidance including Highways England’s Interim Advice Note (IAN) 135/10 Landscape and Visual Effects Assessment and DMRB Volume 11, Section 3, Part 5 Landscape effects but also with a consideration to the Landscape Institute’s published Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (GLVIA) 3rd edition. The assessment of landscape and visual effects will be based on a combination of magnitude and sensitivity using the assessment matrix included in IAN 135/10 Landscape and Visual Effects Assessment. 9.2 Competent expert evidence 9.2.1 This landscape and visual chapter has been undertaken by a Chartered Landscape Architect (BA Hons), Diploma LA & CMLIA, who has over 15 years of knowledge and experience within the landscape architecture profession. This knowledge and professional judgement have been used to undertake this assessment. 9.3 Legislative and policy framework 9.3.1 The following table outlines the relevant legislation and policies considered in undertaking this assessment. Table 9.1: Legislation, regulatory and policy framework for landscape Legislation/ Summary of requirements Scale policy and regulation National Countryside Regulates all PRoW and ensures access to them. It requires and Rights of local highway authorities to publish a Rights of Way Way Act 2000 Improvement Plan (RoWIP), which should be reviewed every (CRoW)1 10 years. The Act also obliges the highway authority to recognise the needs of the mobility impaired when undertaking improvements. National Policy Guidance relevant to the landscape and visual effects of the Statement for Scheme include the following: National 5.143 The landscape and visual effects of proposed projects Networks (NPS will vary on a case by case basis according to the type of NN 2014)2 development, its location and the landscape setting of the proposed development.

    Value for Money Integration in the Renegotiation of Public Private Partnership Road Projects By Ajibola Oladipo Fatokun A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire October 2018 i STUDENT DECLARATION I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate: ____________________________________________________ Type of Award: ________________________ PhD _______________________ School: ______________________ Engineering ____________________ ii ABSTRACT The governments of various countries have continued to adopt Public Private Partnership (PPP) for infrastructure projects delivery due to its many advantages over the traditional procurement method. However, concerns have been raised by stakeholders about the viability of PPP to deliver Value for Money (VfM), especially for the client. These discussions have generated debates and arguments in policy and advisory documents within the last decade mainly in the renegotiation of PPP water and transport projects and their VfM implications. Poor or non-achievement of VfM in PPP contracts renegotiation has led to this study in PPP road projects with the overall aim of integrating VfM considerations into the renegotiation process of PPP road projects. Mixed methodology research approach is used to achieve the objectives set for the study. Interviews and questionnaires of professionals involved in Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO) road projects in the UK are used in the study.

This report is the latest report produced by the Council to fulfil this part of the continuing commitment to the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) process. This Report provides an annual update of recent air quality issues in Redbridge, based on the results of air quality monitoring in the Borough to the end of 2013, as well as a focus on the Council’s progress on reducing air pollution through its Air Quality Action Plan, which was adopted in March 2008. The Council’s previous Updating and Screening Assessment 2012 of air quality confirmed that there were locations across the Borough with relevant public exposure where the Government’s air quality objectives might be exceeded. Previous assessments have shown the Council’s monitoring results for carbon monoxide, benzene and sulphur dioxide indicate that the objectives for these pollutants are not being exceeded. However monitoring of nitrogen dioxide in this report confirms that the Government’s air quality objectives are still being exceeded widely at locations with relevant public exposure.
