report represents a major stage in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’s work to replace the old-style Unitary Development Plan (1995) with a new Local Development Framework or LDF. The requirement to produce an LDF was established by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which came into force in September 2004. 1.2 The new LDF system aims to achieve sustainable development through a spatial planning approach. 1.3 This document concerns the strategy at the heart of the new Plan – the Core Strategy. This sets out the overarching spatial vision and the spatial objectives and core policies to deliver that vision for 2025. Consultation and Sustainability Appraisal 1.4 The Core Strategy has been though a number of stages of consultation (issues and options, preferred options and pre-submission), each of which has informed the development of the document. The Core Strategy and Borough Wide Development Policies Consultation Statement explain how the community have been involved and how comments have been taken into account. A further stage of consultation was undertaken in advance of the Hearing into the Core Strategy on a Schedule of proposed Changes. 1.5 A Sustainability Appraisal has been undertaken of the Core Strategy. The Final Sustainability Appraisal Report documents the Sustainability Appraisal process including the recommendations which influenced the Core Strategy policies. 1.6 The appraisal of policies and policy options has taken place at four key stages: • Initial sustainability appraisal of the policy options for the Core Strategy DPD involving stakeholder consultation July to August 2006. • Sustainability appraisal of the preferred options for the Core Strategy – public and statutory consultation 19 March to 21 May 2007. • Refinement of the sustainability appraisal to reflect changes made in the policies between preferred option and pre-submission stage). • Sustainability appraisal of the Schedule of Proposed Changes. 1.7 At each of these stages policy options were appraised against the SA Framework. This process helped to inform the process of both eliminating and refining policy options. In addition, Chapter 7 of the sustainability appraisal of the core strategy pre-submission policies report on specific changes that have been made to the Core Strategy DPD as a result of the SA process. 4 1.8 The sustainability appraisal of the alternatives are documented in the following places: • In Appendix 10 to the Sustainability Appraisal Report for the Core Strategy Pre- Submission policies. • In Appendix 10 to the Sustainability Appraisal Report for the Core Strategy Preferred Options. • In the initial sustainability appraisal of the core strategy options (all of which were subject to public and targeted stakeholder consultation). 1.9 To determine the General Principles for Development, as set out in Policy CM1, five alternatives were considered involving varying combinations of the following: • Focusing development on key regeneration sites. • Focusing development on existing residential

Thames Ward Area Its population has doubled in recent years LONDON and will will continue to increase thereafter. Yet poverty levels are high with half of the children in the ward living in poverty. Thames Ward Community Project (TWCP) was a response to CASTLE GREEN SCRATTONS FARM ORION PARK this upheaval and the very real divisions (physical, economic and social) that may be exacerbated without a community-led response that brings people together across the entire area. THAMES VIEW TWCP has been funded by the Big Lottery for three years (2017- 2020) to enable positive community-led change across the whole of Thames Ward. The funding focuses on four themes: cohesion, health, employability and the environment. The project is hosted by Riverside School which employs two full time staff, a Director of Community Engagement (Matt Scott: start date October 2017) and a Community Organiser (Jamie Kesten: start date November 2017).

  • Barking Riverside Extension – Factsheet 1 Project Overview
    Barking Riverside Extension – factsheet 1 Project overview Introduction Barking Riverside is the largest housing development in east London, with planning permission for up to 10,800 new homes, as well as healthcare, shopping, community and leisure facilities. However, the London Riverside Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF), a spatial planning document covering this area including Barking Riverside1, identifies that a package of transport measures are required to facilitate the development of Barking Riverside, and the wider London Riverside Opportunity Area. The Barking Riverside Extension, a 4km extension (1.5km of new track) of the existing London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking line, is the primary component of a package of transport measures to unlock development at Barking Riverside. Without a new operational rail link in place, the development potential of the Barking Riverside site cannot not be fully realised, as no more than 4,000 homes can be occupied. This project aims to deliver the Barking Riverside Extension of the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking line. The project will be complemented by a series of transport improvements measures led by Barking Riverside Limited and Transport for London, including bus network enhancements and the creation of a street network that promotes walking and cycling. Further information about the London Riverside Opportunity Area and the Barking Riverside development proposals, is presented in Barking Riverside Extension factsheet 3. The Barking Riverside Extension is proposed to be funded and financed by a variety of sources, including through money allocated in the TfL Business Plan and contributions from the developers of the Barking Riverside site.

Samples were obtained from the main River Thames, tributaries, standing waters and the London Docks. The samples were examined for Total Coliforms and Escherichia coli to give a measure of faecal contamination. The results were compared with the standards given in E.C. Directive 76/I6O/EEC (Concerning the quality of bathing water). In general, coliform levels in river waters were higher than those in standing waters. At present, there are three EC Designated bathing areas in the River Thames catchment, none of which are situated on freshwaters. Compliance data calculated in this report is intended for comparison with the EC Directive only and is not statutory. Most sites sampled complied at least intermittently with the E.C. Imperative levels for both Total Coliforms and E.coli.

  • A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration the Tunnel Is Essential to East London and Thames Gateway’S Economic Success the A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration
    The A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration The tunnel is essential to East London and Thames Gateway’s economic success The A13 Riverside Tunnel Road to Regeneration Thank you for taking the trouble to find out more about the proposed A13 Riverside Tunnel. The tunnelling of a 1.3km stretch of the A13 will not only improve traffic flow along this key route, mitigating the two notorious bottlenecks at the Lodge Avenue and Renwick Road junctions, but will also transform a severely blighted area. As well as creating a new neighbourhood of over 5,000 homes called Castle Green, the tunnel will act as a catalyst for the building of another 28,300 homes in London Riverside, while creating over 1,200 jobs and unlocking significant business and commercial growth in the surrounding area. The tunnel is essential to east London and the Thames Gateway’s economic success and will stimulate growth along its route as well as easing congestion. It also signifies a new way of working in this country adapted from successful models from other European cities. A large proportion of the scheme could be self-financing, with the majority of the funding being generated by the tunnel itself, through the land value uplift and sale of the homes, the community infrastructure levy and new homes bonus. If the government also supports our proposal for stamp duty devolution in Castle Green, then this would mean further significant funding for the scheme could be secured. Cllr Darren Rodwell Cllr Roger Ramsey Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council Leader of Havering Council Road to Regeneration 03 About the A13 The A13 is one of the busiest arterial routes into the capital, connecting the county of Essex with central London.
