London Views Management Framework (LVMF)  – Extended background vistas

Statutory consultation arrangements for developments that might affect a Protected Vista are prescribed by the Secretary of State and reproduced in the Mayor of London’s LVMF SPG. https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/planning/implementing-london-plan/london-plan-guidance-and-spgs/london-view-management Development in the background of a Protected Vista outside the formal consultation area can however impact on a strategically important view and this dataset sets confirms where new development might be visible within a Protected Vista depending on its height and local topography.The Mayor of London has sent this map to every Local Planning Authority in London asking them to consult the Mayor where buildings are proposed within these extended background areas so he, relevant authorities and consultees can be satisfied that no harm would result.

London Underground Performance Reports

Transport For Londons's key London Underground performance measures (since May-11).The key measures of underground performance contained in the Excel spreadsheet are: Total operated kilometres, Total number of lost customer hours (LCH) (all causes), Average excess journey time, and Percentage of scheduled operated.More indicators are available from the TFL monthly performance data Almanac.Also available from TFL are a list of tube stations containing passenger entry and exit statistics.London Underground conducts surveys each year. We count the number of people using our service, where they travel to and from and how long their journeys last.TFL also monitor performance and assets, measuring how far trains have travelled and how many trains, lifts and escalators are in service.TFL are committed to providing passengers with details of how well the network is working and regularly publish a performance update. This is updated every four weeks - defined as a period - and gives figures for a range of service and network-related matters.The following information is provided on the TfL website:1) A PDF report of the latest periods performance 2) Spreadsheet reports (almanac) of historic performance data dating back to 2002There are also links to other reports of interest (station entry/exit figures, Tube upgrade plan and Quarterly Investment Programme reports).This data package is similar to the information previously made available on the Datastore as part of a London Assembly Scrutiny investigation in 2011.

Modelling the long-term health impacts of air pollution in London

This study estimates the long-term health impacts of exposure to air pollution in London from 2016 to 2050. The study finds that by 2050 policies in the London Environment Strategy (including the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone and expansion to the North and South circular roads) will result in: almost 300,000 Londoners avoiding new diseases attributable to air pollution, such as coronary heart disease, lung cancer and dementia. This is a reduction of around one in every four air pollution related diseases a cost saving to London’s NHS and social care system of around £5 billion one million fewer air pollution related hospital admissions in London You can read the full report here: https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/pollution-and-air-quality/modelling-long-term-health-impacts-air-pollution-london Please see below for the results per 100,000 residents by borough.

Breathe London Mobile Monitoring

Two Google Street View cars, equipped with reference-type air quality monitors, are measuring air pollution over approximately 600 eight-hour shifts between autumn 2018 and autumn 2019. The cars use fast-response, research-grade instruments to precisely measure pollution concentrations approximately every 1-10 seconds. Pollutants measured include black carbon (BC), CO₂, NO, NO₂, O3, PM2.5 (and other PM size ranges) on a variety of London roadways. The National Physical Laboratory is responsible for regular checks of instrument performance and periodic calibrations.The cars are collecting data from early morning to late evening, Monday to Friday – providing a representative view of on-road air pollution during these hours. The mobile monitoring routes are sampled at different times of day, days of week and time of year – with a target of achieving a minimum of approximately 15 passes of each route over the course of the study (however, traffic congestion and other factors may reduce this number).More information can be found on the Breathe London website.

Breathe London AQMesh pods

The Breathe London stationary network is made up of 100 AQMesh pods, each containing a collection of small sensor-based air quality monitors that offer near real-time localised air quality information. They measure nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and nitric oxide (NO) using electrochemical sensors; particulate matter (PM) in various size cuts (PM₂.₅ and PM10 are reported) using a light-scattering optical particle counter; and carbon dioxide (CO₂) using a non-dispersive infrared absorbance sensor. In some locations, the pods measure ozone (O3), also using electrochemical sensors. The pods measure temperature, humidity and air pressure for the purposes of correction for environmental conditions. Each sensor pod is set up to collect data continuously for 10-second intervals and to create an average every 1-15 minutes, synchronised to the top of each hour.More information can be found on the Breathe London website.

Tourism Spend Estimates

Local Authority level tourist spend estimates (£ millions).Indicitive borough level day visitor estimates for 2007 were derived from the LDA’s own experimental London level day visitor estimates. As such the borough level day visitor estimates should be treated with caution and the 2007 day visitor estimates are not comparable with those from previous years. They are intended only to give a best estimate of the scale of day visitor tourism in each borough from the currently available data.This dataset is no longer updated.
