John Carter Filmed at Ham House during a cold week in January 2010, John Carter is an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic sci-fi adventure ‘John Carter of Mars’. The story tells of a Civil War vet transported to Mars, where he discovers a lush planet inhabited by 12-foot tall barbarians. Ham House doubled as Carter’s New York mansion on the Hudson River in the 1800s. Not only did Ham House fit the location brief but it was also very used to hosting large scale filming. A full size mausoleum was built in the gardens and filmrichmond arranged permission for a crane (the largest one we’ve ever seen!) and water tanker to be taken down a bridle path and into position on council land. Emma Pill headed up the locations’ team and was, as always, brilliant to work with.

  • Cultural Partnership Strategy 2015 - 2019 Foreword
    CULTURAL PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY 2015 - 2019 FOREWORD I am delighted to present Richmond upon Thames’ Cultural Partnership Strategy 2015 – 2019. The strategy defines the Borough’s commitment to the creative arts and aims to ensure that Richmond continues to be known for providing a high quality cultural environment for both residents and visitors alike. Culture enriches the lives of everyone and makes a valuable contribution to the health and wellbeing of our community. Through our Cultural Partnership Strategy I believe we have the opportunity to extend the quality and impact of the arts sector. It has been a pleasure to see the Borough’s cultural community working together to develop and shape this strategy. It is exciting to see the commitments that have been made and I am thrilled by the possibilities that this will bring to us all in Richmond upon Thames over the next four years. Councillor Meena Bond Cabinet Member for Arts, Culture and Sport 2 CULTURAL PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY 2015 - 2019 INTRODUCTION This Cultural Partnership Strategy sets out the four-year strategy for culture in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 2015- 2019 which has been developed in partnership between the cultural organisations in the Borough and the Council. The strategy outlines the Cultural Partnership’s shared vision for culture in the Borough. We believe collaboration across the local cultural sector will achieve the greatest benefit for residents in terms of our individual lives; our community; individual wellbeing and the local economy. The Strategy focuses on three goals which we believe our resources can most effectively be invested, as individual organisations, and through the Council’s cultural services and commissioned activities.

  • THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE 2.72 the River Thames Is London's Best Known Natural Feature. It Twists and Turns Through London, Changi
    THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE 2.72 The River Thames is London’s best known natural feature. It twists and turns through London, changing from a large freshwater river at Hampton into a saline estuary in the east. The river forms a continuous green corridor stretching through London, between the countryside and the sea. 2.73 The nature conservation importance of the linear features of the river channel, mudfl ats and banks cannot be separated from the land in the river corridor. The stretch between Hampton and Kew has Access to the river is particulary the largest expanse of land designated with Site of Special Scientifi c good along the Arcadian Thames Interest status in London. 2.74 For centuries, people have been fascinated by the River Thames, and it continues to attract and inspire local residents and visitors from central London and abroad. Part of the great attraction of the river is the accessible experience of tranquil nature among the concrete and asphalt of the city - the fl ash of a kingfi sher, the bright colour of a wildfl ower or a sudden cloud of butterfl ies have a special resonance in the urban setting. One of the main aims of the Strategy is to ensure the continued balance between wildlife conservation and public access and enjoyment. The Thames is London’s best outdoor classroom 2.75 Over the centuries, the land and the river have been infl uenced by man’s activities. No habitat in London is truly natural which means that we have a particular responsibility to continue to manage the area in ways that conserve a mosaic of attractive habitats and to take special care of rarities.

The village was recorded as Piterichesham in the 1086 Doomsday Book. Ham is not mentioned, but derives its name from the meaning of a meadowland in a river bend or Hamms. Large expanses of parkland and water meadows constrained the growth of Ham and Petersham, preserving their dis- tinctive rural character in the 19th century. The railways never reached these villages and therefore there was no rapid expansion during the Victorian period. The 20th Century brought a number of small housing estates, some houses built in the grounds of the larger properties, and development by Richmond Council of a few roads as part of the plan to reduce the housing list.

  • Adopted Local Plan
    Local Plan As adopted by Council 3 July 2018 Publication Local Plan incorporating Inspector’s Final ‘Main Modifications’ as published May 2018 and ‘List of Council’s Additional Modifications to Local Plan Publication version’ as published December 2017; subject to additional minor modifications to the Plan to cover any necessary updates on adoption. July 2018 1 Foreword by the Cabinet Member for Environment, Planning and Sustainability – to be added 1 Introduction 1.1 Setting the Scene 1.1.1 The Council's Local Plan will set out policies and guidance for the development of the borough over the next 15 years. It looks ahead to 2033 and identifies where the main developments will take place, and how places within the borough will change, or be protected from change, over that period. 1.1.2 The Council's Local Plan forms part of the development plan for the borough. It has to go through an Examination in Public by an independent Government inspector before it can be adopted by the Council. The London Plan, prepared by the Mayor of London, also forms part of the development plan, and the Council's Local Plan has to be in general conformity with it. 1.1.3 The role of the development plan is to guide decision making on planning applications and inform investment in social and physical infrastructure. When planning applications are received, they are assessed against the development plan to see whether planning permission should be granted or not. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires that “in making any determination under the planning acts, regard is to be had to the development plan; the determination shall be made in accordance with the plan unless material consideration indicates otherwise”.
