<p>Why be so lateral, John? Think inside the box. There are oodles of ways developers can use existing buildings and their "footprint" far more intensively.<br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7ahIGLNNwo" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7ahIGLNNwo</a></p>

Ther was a proposal to open the New River walk along the Ladder Roads (if that's the bit you're thinking about) something like 10 years ago, maybe even further back. It would have entailed having gates at each intersection, unlocking them in the morning and then locking them again at night. Also there was an issue with the bank being so narrow in some places that two people couldn't pass each other. Swans have nested and reared signets for many years along the river and there were worries about…

I think you'll find Thames Water have their hands tied on that one. I can't remember where I read it but the width of the bank area is too narrow to allow safe public access without barriers at the water's edge and 24 hour CCTV and the costs associated with that, shoring up the banks to take additional weight and the required public liability insurance would be untenable.

<p>The land that our terraced houses sit upon is underutilised. If everyone could agree then a terrace could be demolished, rebuilt denser and you could have the same amount of space as now but with some flats above and maybe a bit less garden. It would all look completely tasteful of course and not at all out of keeping with the surrounding Victorian terraces. I mean, just look at the wonders Paul Simon can work.</p>

<p>I could not agree more. There is a lot of land that it is not used to best effect.</p>
<p>I have approached Thames Water about the land along the banks of the New River to see if it can be prompted to participate in transforming it. I am awaiting a reply which I hope will be favourable.</p>
