- 4. • High quality green infrastructure network • 30% of the area as public open space • 3 new Local Parks in Old Oak • A network of smaller open spaces across both Old Oak and Park Royal • Improved ecology • Green Infrastructure and Open Space Strategy and Management Plan Green infrastructure and open spaces
- 6. Good Growth • Lifetime neighbourhoods • High standards of place making, urban design and architecture • Low carbon development • Smart and resilient part of London • The circular and sharing economy
- 8. Key issues • Location and amount of open space • Delivering environmental sustainability • Clarity on waste management • Air quality improvements • Managing noise
- 9. • Air Quality Study • Circular and Sharing Economy Study • Decontamination Study • Environmental Modelling Framework Study • Environmental Standards Study • Integrated Water Management Strategy • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Statement • Smart Strategy • Waste Apportionment Study • Waste Management Strategy • Waste Technical Paper • Utilities Study Supporting Studies
- 11. Context
- 12. EU1: Open Space Provide high quality green space and ensure development: • Protects Metropolitan Open Land • Protects other existing open spaces • Ensure a minimum of 30% • 3 new local parks over 2ha • Smaller public open spaces • Network of Green Streets
- 13. Item Value Total property uplift £64bn Total value of residential property in London £1.6tn Uplift as a proportion of total property value 3.4% Number of dwellings 3,266,173 Per dwelling uplift £17,126 Per person uplift (occupancy rate of 2.2, 3.5% discount rate, over 30 years) £406/yr Source: Vivid calculations based on GiGL data and London Datastore The economics of urban parks Green infrastructure delivers uplift in value of 3.5%
- 14. Key issues1. Open space King’s Cross: 28% public open space Green infrastructure precedents
- 15. Green Infrastructure and open space
- 16. Provide an increase in green cover and a net gain in biodiversity: • Protect biodiverse rich areas during construction • Provide green roofs and walls • Trees and other planting along streets • Provide a strategic sustainable urban drainage network • Provide nesting sites and shelters • Use species that are local and support species richness • Protect Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation • Assess the value of the greenspaces using Green Space Factor EU2: Urban Greening and Biodiversity
- 17. Urban Greening and Biodiversity
- 18. Ensure that development provides sufficient sewage and water capacity: • Is designed to protect development from flooding including taking account of a 1:100 year storm and climate change • Supports provision of sustainable urban drainage systems • Drains surface water into the canal on the understanding that the quality of surface water is carefully managed • All developers to carry out flood risk assessments • Contribute to improvement to localised surface water drainage issues • Use water efficiently and contribute to rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling EU3: Water
- 19. Local flood risk
- 20. Sequential approach to policy: 1. Limit water use and optimise water recycling 2. Connect into strategic SUDS. Where this is not feasible… 3. Deliver on-site SUDS. And where not feasible… 4. Deliver alternative attenuation measures (e.g tanking) EU3: Water
- 21. Development will be supported where it minimises air pollution and contributes to overall air quality: • OPDC will adopt the recommendations in the air quality study • Target reduction in air pollution in air quality focus areas • Provide air quality monitoring equipment • Work with the Local Authorities to support their air quality action plans • Design the overall development to minimise exposure to air quality and avoid a build up of pollutants in potential street canyons • Minimise impact of emissions from industry and energy generation EU4: Air Quality
- 22. Air Quality
- 23. Address noise and vibration positively and mitigates against the impacts by: • Assess the impacts of noise and vibration • Demonstrate compliance with building standards • Reduce exposure to existing noise generators • Contribute to the development of positive soundscapes EU5: Noise & Vibration
- 24. Sustainably manage waste by: • Safeguarding space for waste management • Move waste up the waste hierarchy • Support air quality • Promote the use of new technologies • Avoiding, reducing, recycling construction waste • Working with occupiers to support waste management OPDC’s sustainable waste hierarchy: EU6: Waste
- 25. Waste
- 26. Waste innovation
- 27. Development will be supported where it demonstrate how the site has been designed to: • Support end of life deconstruction and reuse • Minimise the need for repair and maintenance • Be flexible and adaptable to change (climate, social, technical) • Support use of renewable, sustainably sourced and waste products • Support a sharing economy EU7: Circular Economy
- 28. Take waste > redesign and reuse
- 29. Ensure materials are: • High quality • Permeable and porous • Help address noise, air pollution, Urban heat island and other climate impacts And they: • Have a low embodied carbon and environmental footprint • Have a sustainable accreditation • Are local sourced • Are rapidly renewable – e.g. cork, bamboo, hemp • Include a minimum of 25% secondary materials • Are healthy EU8: Sustainable materials
- 30. EU9: Minimising carbon emissions Ensure development is: • Carbon neutral • Designed to prevent overheating • Actual performance is assessed • Non-residential development is BREEAM Excellent
- 31. Development will be supported where: • District Energy (DE) networks • Use of low carbon heat sources • Innovation in the electricity grid EU10: Energy Systems
- 32. 5 energy centres served by low carbon heat sources & heat pumps
- 33. Support innovation through: • Adopting smart technologies and approaches • Ensure systems are appropriately open and compatible with others • Continuing to respond to new approaches and technological and social innovation • Providing open access to Wi-Fi • Supporting provision of smart and integrated services EU11: Smart technology Systems
- 34. Manage extraction of minerals to ensure they • Don’t impact on the character or quality of the area • Are sensitive to the heritage and environment • Don’t negatively impact on transport and movement • Don’t impact on overall carbon emissions • Adequately make provision for restoration EU12: Extraction of Minerals
- 35. Treat, contain and control land contamination on sites to: • Avoid exposing existing or new communities to health hazards • Protect the structural integrity of development • Protect water bodies and land from contamination • Require developers to carry out remediation in a coordinated manner EU13: Land contamination
- 37. Key issues • Public consultation on the revised draft Local Plan concludes: midnight Monday 11 September 2017 • Autumn 2017: OPDC considers consultation responses and make necessary amendments to the Local Plan • Early 2018: Submit to Secretary of State • Spring 2018: Examination in Public • Summer 2018: Adopt Local Plan Next steps
Editor's Notes
- May review discussion items: New Structure and policy content Policy wording Initial consultation responses Emerging evidence base
- There are concerns that the overall quantum of development may be excessive and could impact on the quality of the place. There are queries as to whether the balance between homes and jobs is right and whether the homes target should be increased and the jobs target reduced. How will we deliver genuinely affordable housing given the scale of infrastructure needed There was general acceptance that this is a tall building location; however, there are concerns about the number and location of tall buildings, particularly in close proximity to existing residential areas, heritage assets and open space. The timely delivery of sufficient social infrastructure will be critical to creating a good place Additional sites should be released for non-industrial, or mixed use development along Victoria Road and Old Oak Lane. This would help provide a buffer between existing and future residents and Park Royal.
