Research +

I've tried to bundle subjects so that they (mostly) link with your existing survey topics (but its not possible in every case) as follows:

Simon -climate/ microclimate/ pollution/ topography/ elevation/ direction of slopes/ drainage/ watershed
Anka - vegetation/ common species/ BAP flora/ geology and soils
Jenny - sights/ sounds/ views and vistas/ major structures ie significant buildings, bridges, pylons
Lili - site character (beautiful/ugly); quality of architecture/common fauna/ BAP fauna
Stevie - panaramic pictures/ land-use/ man-made deposits and contamination/ derelict land/ surface water (open water and rivers), vehicle routes, train lines, canals
Athanase - materiality/ maintainance/ history/ social history/ population distribution/

I'm going to go through the Unitary Development Plan and try and summarise the current thrust of Newham Council's Policy for the site. If I can map some of this, I will.

I've ignored subterranean services (gas, electricity etc) as this information is notoriously difficult to obtain. I feel its not a priority in terms of our project brief - hope all this is OK.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries. Mobile phone is probably best.

Thanks

Simon
