FUTURE GENERATIONS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Every figure below is measured from the strands above. Every forward-looking line is a question, not a forecast. Development pressure: 15 applications Proposing to build or change something, within 2km in the last 90 days. 0 classed as major, 21 of all types still undecided. 5 further applications concern trees and are not counted here. Green space: 0 spaces No green space is mapped within 2km yet — likely a gap in OpenStreetMap rather than an absence of it. Places to gather: 16 Community centres, halls, social facilities and places of worship within 2km. The rooms a neighbourhood actually meets in. Learning on the doorstep: 5 schools, 1 library 7 education sites within 2km in total, including colleges and universities. Nearest defibrillator: 300m 34 nearby on the national register. In a cardiac arrest, minutes decide the outcome. Heritage features: 2 Monuments, historic buildings, memorials and museums recorded within 2km. Air quality today: Fair (21) European Air Quality Index, modelled for this location. PM2.5 5.4 µg/m³, NO₂ 3.9 µg/m³. Development -> Transport 15 applications within 2km propose building or changing something, 2 of them involving homes. A further 5 concern trees and are counted separately. They change the canopy, not the traffic. Q: How might that development affect travel demand on the existing network, and is anyone assessing it cumulatively, or one application at a time? Children -> Air quality 7 schools and learning sites within 2km. Air here is fair today at 21 on the European index, with nitrogen dioxide. The pollutant most closely tied to vehicles. At 3.9 µg/m³. Q: How might future traffic and development change the air on the roads those children use twice a day, every day? Air quality -> Health Today's reading is fair (21), with nitrogen dioxide, the pollutant most tied to traffic, at 3.9 µg/m³. Air quality is a long-run exposure, not a daily event: what matters for health is the average someone breathes over years, not one good or bad day. Q: Over years rather than days, what would sustained exposure at this level mean for residents with asthma, COPD or heart conditions, and for children whose lungs are still developing? Green space -> Wellbeing No mapped green space and 3 places to be active within 2km, against 16 indoor places to gather. Q: How accessible are these spaces to people of different ages and abilities, and are there barriers that prevent some residents from enjoying them? Places to gather -> Connection 16 halls, centres and places of worship within 2km, nearest Friends Meeting House at 420m. Q: If one of these closed, where would the groups that use it go, and would they survive the move? Today's decisions -> Future generations 5 schools, 1 library and 2 heritage features within 2km, alongside 21 planning applications still undecided. Q: The children in those schools will inherit whatever is settled this year. What would they thank us for in 2046, and what would they wish we had asked about? ====================================================================== SOURCES AND LIMITS ====================================================================== postcodes.io/ONS (location); PlanIt (planning applications, collected on a delay); OpenStreetMap contributors under ODbL (map features.
