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, 19 of all types still undecided. 10 further applications concern trees and are not counted here. Green space: Nearby Green space is mapped within 2km, but OpenStreetMap hasn't named it, so it can't be counted here. It still appears in the Nature strand. Places to gather: 4 Community centres, halls, social facilities and places of worship within 2km. The rooms a neighbourhood actually meets in. Learning on the doorstep: 1 school, 0 libraries 1 education sites within 2km in total, including colleges and universities. Nearest defibrillator: 250m 21 nearby on the national register. In a cardiac arrest, minutes decide the outcome. Heritage features: 0 Monuments, historic buildings, memorials and museums recorded within 2km. Air quality today: Fair (21) European Air Quality Index, modelled for this location. PM2.5 5.3 µg/m³, NO₂ 3.6 µg/m³. Development -> Transport 15 applications within 2km propose building or changing something, 1 of them involving homes. A further 10 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 1 school and learning site within 2km. Air here is fair today at 21 on the European index, with nitrogen dioxide. The pollutant most closely tied to vehicles. At 3.6 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 3.6 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 Green space (unnamed on the map) and 16 places to be active within 2km, against 4 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 4 halls, centres and places of worship within 2km, nearest The Parish Church of All Saints at 670m. 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 1 school, 0 libraries and 0 heritage features within 2km, alongside 19 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.
