S1 — Spatial Strategy.

S1:1c. Green Corridors: This refers to relatively continuous areas of open space leading through the built environment, which may be linked and may not be publicly accessible. They may allow animals and plants to be found further into the built-up area than would otherwise be the case and provide an extension to the habitats of the sites they join. Greenfield Run-off: The rate of run-off that would occur from the site in its undeveloped and undisturbed state. Green Infrastructure (GI): Open environment within urban areas, the urban fringe and the countryside. It is a network of connected, high quality, multifunctional open spaces, corridors and the links in between that provide multiple benefits for people and wildlife. Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA): A requirement of the European Directive 92/43/ EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (the ‘Habitats Directive’), implemented in the UK through the provisions of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010. An HRA assesses the impact of Local Plans on habitats and species of European significance. The HRA of the Newham Local Plan can be found on the Council’s website, either within the Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) or as an addendum. Health Impact Assessment (HIA): A systematic approach to predicting the magnitude and significance of the potential health and wellbeing impacts, both positive and negative, of new plans and projects. The approach ensures decision making at all levels considers the potential impacts of decisions on health and health inequalities. HIA is particularly concerned with the distribution of effects within a population, as different groups are likely to be affected in different ways, and therefore looks at how health and social inequalities might be reduced or widened by a proposed plan or project. Newham Local Plan 2018 Glossary Heritage Asset: A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape positively identified as having a degree of significance as a component of the designated heritage assets (those buildings, monuments, structures, parks, etc. that are subject to national listing/scheduling, and those areas designated as Conservation Areas) and assets identified by the local planning authority during the process of decision-making or through the plan-making process (including local listing). High Speed 2: Proposals are being developed for the construction of a new high speed railway between Euston and the north of England via Birmingham. It has been suggested that the line might extend to serve Stratford International; however this - as with other proposals including halting international trains at the station - is subject to the availability of line capacity and other matters including engineering. High Speed 1 domestic services already call at Stratford International Station. Inclusive Access: Designed to remove barriers that create undue effort, separation or special treatment, and enables everyone to participate equally in mainstream activities independently, with choice and dignity. Incubator, Accelerators and Co-working spaces (IACs): Types of workspace designed primarily for start-up, micro and small businesses. There are no universally accepted definitions for these different types of space and how they differ from other more conventional forms of business space. Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA): Addresses all of the Council’s legal duties to carry out impact assessments of a Plan within one integrated process. It fulfils statutory requirements for the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and incorporates the requirements for Health Impact Assessment, Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA), and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA). Integrating the assessments in this way ensures a comprehensive approach that informs the development of plan policies. As many of the issues considered in the assessments overlap in practice, an integrated approach is thought to produce better recommendations and outcomes. The IIA is an iterative process that considers the impacts of emerging policies and proposes alterations to them or mitigation for any adverse impacts that may be identified. The IIA can be found on the Council’s website. Intermediate Housing: Homes for sale and rent provided at a cost above social rent, but below market levels subject to the criteria in the Affordable Housing definition above. These can include shared equity (shared ownership and equity loans), other low cost homes for sale and intermediate rent, but not affordable rented housing Homes that do not meet the above definition of affordable housing, such as ”low cost market” housing, may not be considered, for planning purposes, as affordable housing. International Centre: Part of the Retail Hierarchy – see below.
