Nick Salmond, Pepe Martinez and our Secretary Alex Hetherington have all done a great job in presenting the skills and knowledge of London Blue Badge Tourist Guides via the GuideLondon live broadcasts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have thoroughly enjoyed these talks and urge you to check them out if you have not done so already. They are live at 4pm each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Thank you to all those who have got involved with them too. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Everyone has done a fantastic job: all very professional, imparting fascinating stories and at the same time in a fun and exciting way! Please continue to share any blog posts or actual videos regarding the GuideLondon Live broadcasts, especially if you have featured in them. It is a great way for us to engage clients, sites that we work with and partnership organisations such as London & Partners (who love to share new and high quality content such as this). LinkedIn is a particularly good platform to share this type of content on too. Kindly give GuideLondon a follow on LinkedIn (and myself - hehe!). Another great success is the Joint Lockdown Learning CPD Programme run by Aaron Hunter and Sue Hyde. For those who wish to add to their knowledge while waiting to get back to work, these lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10am and 2pm are a great resource. There is still time to purchase a subscription (from £30) and binge watch all previous lectures and join in with live ones until the end of June 2020. This is when the project finishes and the content will be removed, although the Joint CPD programme may be extended, so watch this space. A massive thank you also to Nick Salmond for joining APTG Branch Council and taking over Marketing from Alex Hetherington. We are very pleased to have you on the team and look forward to working with you. That’s all from me. I wish you all good health, stay safe. Kind regards, Danny Parlour.

  • Smith's Farm, Northolt
    planning report PDU/2972/01 6 March 2013 Smith’s Farm, Northolt in the London Borough of Ealing planning application no. PP/2012/4910 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral (new powers) Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008. The proposal Outline application for the demolition and removal of existing buildings and redevelopment to provide up to 64 homes and a 6,896 sq.m. landscaped extension to the Northolt and Greenford Countryside Park, incorporating a foot/cycle bridge and surface crossing over Kensington Road. The applicant The applicant is Woodpile Limited, and the architect is Norton Ellis Architects. Strategic issues The proposal would result in substantial harm to the openness of Green Belt. Whilst there may be very special circumstances in this case, assurances are sought before officers could be satisfied that these would outweigh the harm caused by the inappropriate development. Notwithstanding the above, other strategic issues are raised with respect to housing, urban design, inclusive access, sustainable development and transport. Recommendation That Ealing Council be advised that the application does not comply with the London Plan for the reasons set out in paragraph 66 of this report. However, the resolution of those issues could lead to the application becoming compliant with the London Plan. The application does not need to be referred back to the Mayor if the Council resolves to refuse permission, but it must be referred back if the Council resolves to grant permission. Context 1 On 18 December 2012 the Mayor of London received a letter from Ealing Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses.

Think, for instance, of the groom carrying his new bride into their new home and new life together, walking into school on the first day of your first term, stepping off the plane into a new and foreign land, or the time of waiting between being appointed to a job and beginning it. As we stand on the borders no longer in the old but not quite yet in the new we can feel unsettled, have a longing to turn back to the old familiar places behind us, or mourn the things and people we have left behind. We can feel overwhelmed by the change and all it will require of us. But we can also be excited by the new, filled with hope and seeing its promise and look forward to new experiences.
