Introduction
|
| |
This tenth and final chapter in the Written Statement revisits
the sites and areas referred to in the previous chapters. It also
includes a number of additional sites within the broad areas referred
to in the earlier chapters, and where appropriate adds more information
about individual sites. In addition, the chapter includes small-scale
maps indicating the land uses proposed in the Plan, and the location
of the sites and areas referred to in this chapter.
|
| |
The antecedents for each site and area schedule are given in chapters
one to nine. This chapter also identifies key sites for development
in each town centre, and these are set out in Schedule 10.21.
|
| |
|
| |
Each of the site and area schedules (10.1 - 10.21) should
be regarded as a policy for the site or area in question.
|
| |
|
| |
The Sites and Areas chapter effectively
provides a gazetteer for the Proposals Map, which complements the
Written Statement. Larger scale inset maps for the main town centres
of Ealing, Acton, Greenford, Hanwell and Southall are included on
the back of the Proposals Map, so that readers can properly identify
all site specific proposals and boundaries. |

1. Brent River Park
Metropolitan Open Land
The Brent River Park is a special area of Metropolitan Open
Land and Public Open Space, in the very heart of the borough.
It acts not only as amenity land but also as a flood plain
assisting in flood control. Development in the flood plain
would lessen the effectiveness of the flood alleviation scheme
and cause flooding of properties. It would also seriously
detract from the open character, nature conservation value
and amenity of the park. The Council will exercise the following
principles in the control of development, and the management
of the River Park.
i) Protection of natural areas, resolution of conflict between
different activities and maintenance of its role as a flood
plain.
ii) Any development will need to recognise the paramount
role of nature conservation (see also ix).
iii) The Council will promote recreational, educational and
leisure activities.
iv) The Park be used by the community with publicly accessible
informal space in areas, to allow organised outdoor recreation
where appropriate.
v) The area to be considered as one continuous park both
visually and functionally.
vi) Further the aims of the Brent River Park Countryside
Management Plan, emphasising landscaping and screening of
boundaries of the park and to eyesores within it and to realise
the potential for landscape and nature conservation.
vii) The Park to be linked by open Green Corridors to other
open areas by footpaths, and by the canal towpath to the Thames¹,
with bridle ways and cycle tracks to be considered where appropriate.
viii) To recognise the value of major open areas (Green Belt
and other Metropolitan Open Land) outside but adjacent to
the Brent River Park.²
ix) Natural river features will be enhanced where appropriate
to improve its value for nature conservation.
x) Existing recreational land uses to remain, but with flexibility
for changing demands. New buildings will only be considered
where they are essential to its function, and hard surfaces
and floodlighting will normally be refused.
