Supporting Studies
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

14. Key issues1. Open space
King’s Cross: 28% public open space
Green infrastructure precedents
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
