One of the smaller of the Kent districts, it covers an area of about 7630 hectares and has a population approaching 84,000. The Borough is strategically located on two of the principal lines of communication within the South East - the M25 London orbital motorway and the A2, linking London to the Channel ports. The northern part of the Borough between the A2 and the Thames includes the towns of Dartford and Swanscombe and is substantially built-up. It also includes the major development sites within the Borough, and lies within the Kent Thames-side area of the Thames Gateway. This area has been identified by Government as one of two areas within Thames Gateway with the potential for significant growth. The southern part of the Borough is generally rural in character and comprises a mix of open countryside, covered by Green Belt designation, and a number of villages and dormitory settlements. Dartford is an important employment centre with major employers such as Glaxo Wellcome, Dartford and Gravesham and Thameslink Health Trusts, the Borough Council and J&E Hall located within the town centre. However, the Borough’s proximity to London and it’s good rail and coach connections mean that many residents commute to work elsewhere. Several major developments are planned or under construction within the Borough e.g. Ebbsfleet, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the new Bluewater Regional Shopping Centre. Also there are an estimated 22,000 new homes and other leisure and commercial projects planned for the Thames gateway area, many of which are within the Borough. It is anticipated that road traffic on major and local roads will increase significantly. 3 Review and Assessment of Air Quality in the Borough of Dartford - Stage 2 Review and Assessment of Air Quality in the Borough of Dartford Stage 2 1.0 Executive Summary Section 88(2) of the Environment Act 1995 places a statutory obligation upon local authorities to periodically review and assess air quality within the boundary of their jurisdiction. The enactment of the Air Quality Regulations 1997 signified the start of the review process and that this should be completed no later than 22 December 1999. Guidance issued by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) advises that the review process should be carried out in a staged approach. The aim of the process is to give consideration to the likelihood of the standards specified in the Air Quality Regulations 1997 being achieved by the objective target date of 31 December 2005. In considering the individual pollutants, each authority is to be aware that national policies are expected to deliver an improvement in air quality by 2005 and that local control measures should be minimal. However, it is accepted that some pollutants, such as fine particulates, need to be dealt with at both local and regional levels and that measures to control them may be more challenging than some other pollutants such as lead. This report presents the Stage 2 Review and Assessment of Air Quality in the Borough of Dartford. It contains a variety of data that relates to the four pollutants identified in the Stage 1 Review and Assessment (carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, fine particulates and sulphur dioxide) as being of potential concern by the end of the year 2005. These pollutants have been identified and selected for the possibility of them not achieving the required standards by the end of 2005. Assessments have been made to try to predict the changes in development, road traffic and any other influencing factors. At all times, assessments have been made whilst having regard to the risk of exposure to pollutants over the timescale defined in each individual case. Areas of high residential density, retail centres and schools, for example, are of prime concern. The following drawing shows the locations of all the schools in the Borough and demonstrates that there are very few areas that do not need detailed consideration. Locations of Schools - an indication of The quality of the air that we breathe is residential density influenced by a range of potential sources of pollution and the manner in which that pollution mixes and disperses is a highly complex science, some aspects of which #0 #0 are still being discovered. In undertaking #0 #0 #0 #0#0 this Stage 2 Review, consideration has ##00 #0 #0 ##00 #0 #0 #0 #0 #0 #0 been given to the area surrounding the #0 #0 ##00 #0 Borough and potential sources of pollution #0 ##00 ###000 that might not be immediately apparent. #0 #0 Air movement is multi dimensional and #0 #0 #0 the air that moves across the Borough has been subjected to pollution from other #0 places and is in the process of dispersion #0 at the same time as it receives a pollutant load. This is a continual cycle and one that is very difficult to predict. Meteorology has an important influence on this process and consequently upon the levels of pollutants that are recorded by real-time analysis equipment. This review has considered the results from many real-time analysers across England and they have been chosen because their siting is comparable to sites that might be found in the Borough. It is not unreasonable to suggest that similar circumstances in one area will produce similar results in another that can be used for a ‘rule of thumb’ approach. No attempt has been made to suggest that the results are definitive, but they can be used reliably as an indicative guide. By using results from sites with 4 Review and Assessment of Air Quality in the Borough of Dartford - Stage 2 several years data a greater level of confidence can be given to them and having results for the same pollutant from several sites increases that confidence still further. This is a realistic approach as opposed to using complex computer models. The use of computer models is a complicated issue which needs further consideration before deciding upon the most appropriate models to use. 1.1 Review and Assessment Summary Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Benzene 1,3-Butadiene Carbon Monoxide � Carbon Monoxide Lead Nitrogen Dioxide � Nitrogen Dioxide � Nitrogen Dioxide PM10 � PM10 � PM10 Sulphur Dioxide � Sulphur Dioxide 1.2 Nitrogen Dioxide The evidence suggests that the nitrogen dioxide levels are likely to fail to meet the required standards for the annual average and also for the hourly average in some parts of the Borough by the objective target date. Therefore, a Stage 3 Review and Assessment using real-time analysing equipment needs to be carried out for this pollutant. 1.3 PM10 The evidence suggests that fine particulate levels are likely to fail to meet the required standards in some parts of the Borough by the objective target date. Therefore, a Stage 3 Review and Assessment using real-time analysing equipment needs to be carried out for this pollutant. 1.4 Sulphur Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide The evidence suggests that sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide levels are likely to meet the required standards by the objective target date. No further assessment of these pollutants is therefore required at this stage. 1.5 Proposals to amend the National Air Quality Strategy During 1999, the NAQS will be reviewed and amendments will be made to bring the Strategy into line with current Government policy. When appropriate, changes which may occur in the NAQS and/or the factors influencing local air quality will be incorporated in the review and assessment process being undertaken. 5 Review and Assessment of Air Quality in the Borough of Dartford - Stage 2 2.0 Stage 2 Review and Assessment This section of the report provides a review and assessment of the levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, PM10 and sulphur dioxide in the Borough. Where possible, monitoring data has been used and this has been combined with a comparative analysis from sites in other Boroughs, long term national statistics and data from the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI). Assessments have been based upon a combination of this data and using a professional judgement to estimate the likelihood of exceedences at the end of 2005. The assessment has been made by comparing data to the National Air Quality Strategy (NAQS) although it should be acknowledged that other standards do exist.

  • History from Old Site
    I n the middle of the 19th century, following the introduction of competency exams in 1851, the need for pre-sea training was recognised for potential officers in the Royal and Merchant Navy. This led to a group of London ship owners founding the 'Thames Nautical Training College' in 1862. The Admiralty was approached for the loan of a suitable ship and was allocated the 'two-decker' HMS 'Worcester', a sister ship of the 'Trincomalee' (former 'Foudroyant') now restored and preserved at Hartlepool. At the time, the Royal Navy was starting to replace their fleet of 'wooden walls' with iron clad vessels. They had a vast surplus of such vessels and the 1473 ton 50 gun 'Worcester' was then laid up in the Nore. She had been built in Deptford Yard in 1843 and nearly £1,000 was spent on her conversion to a training ship prior to her being moved to her first base in Blackwall Reach. Within a year she was moved to Erith, thence in 1869 to Southend before finally moving in 1871 to what became a base forever associated with the 'Worcester' - the village of Greenhithe on the Kent shore and where successive ships remained until 1978. I ngress Abbey. Over fifty years passed before a permanent shore base was established in 1920, with the purchase of the Ingress Abbey estate which provided space for playing fields, offices, a sanatorium, laundry and a swimming pool. Starting with just 18 cadets, the numbers grew rapidly and there was soon a waiting list for entry. Official recognition soon followed - the Board of Trade allowed two years satisfactory 'Worcester' training to count in part towards a watchkeeping certificate, and in 1867 Queen Victoria instituted a Gold Medal for presentation annually.

  • 7.2 Detailed Baseline
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 7.2 Detailed Baseline INTRODUCTION Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics reports the existing socio-economic and employment conditions relevant to the study areas of the London Resort, and assesses the impact of the London Resort upon those baseline conditions. However, it is important to outline the baseline conditions in more detail than Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics. This appendix reviews the baseline conditions at a more detailed geography and presents additional metrics and industry specific data. This appendix follows the same structure as the baseline presented in the chapter, where data relevant to each effect is listed in order of the effects assessed. Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics concludes on the sensitivity of each receptor relevant to each effect, that sensitivity is not repeated in this appendix. The study areas are consistent with that presented in the main chapter, as shown in Table 7.2.1 below. Notably, the listed study area abbreviations are used throughout the appendix. Study areas considered in the London Resort Geographical Definition Rationale Study Area The DCO Order Limits. The PSB study area is used for effects which The Project Site Refer to Figure 7.1 in are at the Project Site level.

  • Notes from the Unpublished Papers of Dorothy Stroud
    A list of landscapes that have been attributed to ‘Capability’ Brown This list, now in its fifth edition(16th December, 2016), has been compiled by John Phibbs from the work of others, primarily Dorothy Stroud, but also David Brown, Karen Lynch, Nick Owen, Susanne Seymour, Roger Turner, Peter Willis, and, in particular, my collaborator, Steffie Shields, who has checked and added to its drafts. The lists have also been shown to and commented on by the County Gardens Trusts. Great credit is due to all parties for their help. The list of attributions to Brown has elicited a good deal of correspondence for which I am very grateful, and among many others, thanks are due to Don Josey, Surrey Gardens Trust; Terence Reeves-Smyth and Patrick Bowe from Ireland; S.V.Gregory, Staffordshire Gardens Trust; Joanna Matthews, Oxfordshire Gardens Trust; Christine Hodgetts, Warwickshire Gardens Trust; the Dorset Gardens Trust; Kate Harwood, Hertfordshire Gardens Trust; Val Bott, Susan Darling and Barbara Deason, London Parks & Gardens Trust; Janice Bennetts, Wendy Bishop, Michael Cousins, Dr Patrick Eyres, Jane Furze, Tony Matthews, Jenifer White and Min Wood. Many correspondents have written with material about what Brown might have done at various places. I have to emphasise that the attributions list attempts to include all the places where he might have offered advice. It asks neither whether that advice was acted on, nor whether he was paid. The determination of what might have been done at any of these places is a distinct process and will always be open to question. The aim of this list is to assess the likelihood of each and all of the attributions that have been made to Brown.
