5. Why undertake research and develop a community vision for High Street? Our knowledge of our local economy and what might be possible was slight; Only with a clear vision would the local community be prepared as developers start to develop their ideas for our High Street; Knowledge, expertise and ideas for regeneration in the local community is available to be used; Opportunity to significantly influence the High Street element of the Brentford Area Action Plan; We must catalyse regeneration, rather than continued development blight.

21. Existing floor space on High Street frontage (land south of High Street) Total: 4,450 sq m (gross ??) Broken up as follows: Convenience 160 sq m Comparison 1,075 sq m����� Services 2,505 sq m Vacant 710 sq m�������� Based on 2006 observational survey (not lawful use)

22. Brentford High Street additional retail needsHounslow Council recommendations Population trend line & retail commitments nearby + Additional slower housing growth scenario + Higher retail retention rates in Brentford: 10.6% comparison (up from 8%) 54.7% convenience (up from 38%) The need figures are as follows: Comparison����������2,650m2 Convenience������� 1270m2 (�12,000 sales density) �������������������������� 3,810m2 (�4,000 sales density) Total additional need for comparison and convenience would be between 3,920 and 6,460 m2 (mid point 5,190 m2)

27. How does � enter your local economy? A visual tool to: Engage people in decision-making about their local economy Generate enterprising ideas Mobilise people to take action The problem is not necessarily that too little money flows into a neighbourhood. Rather it is what consumers, public services & businesses do with that money. Too often it is spent on services with no local presence, and so immediately leaves the area. How does � enters your local economy and how does it leaks out of your local economy. What other resources are leaking out. How can we keep more money circulating locally.

28. How does � leak out ? Stopping money leaking is as important as pouring money in � inward investment. � Focus is on increasing local linkages � not self-sufficiency or isolationism � to maximise the use of all incoming inward investment. Seeking out possible opportunities for increasing the re-circulation of that money to other parts of local economy.

40. Deconstruction and construction material recommendations Reclaimed is the highest form of recycling Massive untapped sustainable resource � divert waste Closing the waste loop Why do we focus at reclamation rather than recycling at BR? Our interest in reclaimed can be summarised as: Thousands of tonnes of building waste are produced each year which could be diverted for reuse locally. Reclamation and reuse locally in its original function minimises the amount of energy required for reprocessing and transporting building materials.Why do we focus at reclamation rather than recycling at BR?

43. Water reuse recommendation � and more complex systems. Rain water recycling systems collect rainwater run-off from roofs and other hard surfaces. Rainwater is suitable for flushing WCs and irrigation and can be used without treatment. The rainwater can be stored in tanks in the roof or underground. Grey water recycling systems reuse waste water from hand wash basins, baths and showers. The waste water is diverted to a central holding facility from where it can be pumped for use in non potable applications such as in toilet flushing or irrigation. The water is contained within a closed tank (and in most examples treated) to reduce the risk of spreading disease.� and more complex systems.
