Housing in multiple occupation Housing occupied by members of more than one
household, such as student accommodation or bedsits.
Housing Capacity Study (HCS) A process for identifying future housing capacity
across an area to inform the development of housing policy and proposals. Housing
capacity studies have been superseded in Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing
(PPS3) by Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessments (SHLAAs).
Human in scale providing a high quality environment in which buildings, places
and spaces are accessible, easy to navigate and understand. This can be through the
use of gateways, focal points and landmarks, as well as ensuring buildings create a
positive relationship with street level activity and people feel comfortable within
their surroundings. Organisations such as CABE as well as the Mayor's Design
Advice Panel can provide design related advice.
Incineration The burning of waste at high temperatures in the presence of sufficient
air to achieve complete combustion, either to reduce its volume (in the case of
municipal solid waste) or its toxicity (such as for organic solvents and
polychlorinated biphenyls). Municipal solid waste incinerators recover power and/or
heat. The main emissions are carbon dioxide, water and ash residues.
Inclusive design Inclusive design creates an environment where everyone can
access and benefit from the full range of opportunities available to members of
society. It aims 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.
Industrial Business Park (IBP) Strategic industrial locations that are particularly
suitable for activities that need better quality surroundings including research and
development, light industrial and higher value general industrial, some waste
management, utility and transport functions, wholesale markets and small scale
distribution. They can be accommodated next to environmentally sensitive uses.
Industrial waste Waste from any factory and any premises occupied by industry
(excluding mines and quarries) as defined in Schedule 3 of the Controlled Waste
Regulations 1992.
Kyoto Protocol An international agreement linked to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which sets binding, targets
for countries to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These amount to an
average of five per cent against 1990 levels over the five-year period 2008-2012.
Land Use Credits/Swaps Typically, a land use ‘credit’ is where new off-site
residential provision is provided in advance by a developer on the basis that it could
be used to satisfy the residential requirements of mixed use policies generated by
future commercial development. Typically, an affordable housing credit is where
new affordable housing is created when it is not a policy requirement. This
affordable housing credit could potentially then be drawn down either for the
purposes of affordable housing policy requirement and/or for the purposes of mixed
use policy requirements for residential floorspace. Typically, a land use swap is
where a developer provides an off-site residential development to satisfy the housing
requirement generated by a specified office/commercial development. The planning
