These have been surveyed and assessed, and conclusions reached on their value to the local community and the environment of the district. 1.2 For convenience the audit is split into the following categories, although it is recognised that some of these allow for a range of uses: - allotments (AT); - cemeteries and graveyards (CG); - formal playing pitches (FP); - alternative sites for sport (AS) ; - informal recreation grounds (RG); - children’s playgrounds (CY); - indoor facilities for high levels of use (IF); - community centres and village halls (CV); - managed open space with public access (MO); - semi-natural open space and woodland with public access (SO); Page 2 of 30 CHAPTER 2 – ALLOTMENTS Site Area Site Name Address Ownership Number (Hectares) Middle Street, Bumbles Nazeing Parish AT1 Middle Street Allotment 0.98 Green Council Middle Street Allotment, Site AT1 MIDDLE STREET ALLOTMENT (AT1) 2.0 Situated to the west of Bumbles Green to the south of the parish, this allotment can be accessed west of Middle Street. The main entrance is largely hidden from view by dense hedgerows, and Middle Street itself is subject to a speed limit change from 30mph to 40mph directly opposite the main entrance. Visitors and passers by must be cautious, in case a car suddenly appears and slows down to enter the site. 2.1 The entrance is secured by a good quality metal gate, through which allotment users can access a small grassy area used as a car park, with space for approximately five vehicles. From this car park a gravel track continues through the middle of the site, almost up to its western perimeter. The large number of at least 20 allotment plots are clearly demarcated, and Page 3 of 30 one area just to the north of the main entrance is dominated by dense trees and shrubs. 2.2 The site is bordered by a perimeter of dense hedgerows and medium sized trees, which effectively screen it from external view, and help to provide a peaceful scenic environment. Overall this allotment is clean, tidy and very well maintained. It would be helpful to install a sign at the main entrance, however. ISSUES AND QUESTIONS · This is the only recognised allotment in the parish. · Nazeing Parish Council has not indicated a demand for further provision within the parish. · This is most likely due to the rural nature of the parish and the relatively small local population. · The existing site entrance is partially hidden, and located on a relatively fast road, making it potentially dangerous to use. This entrance should therefore be made more obvious from the road. · The site is clean and tidy, and is clearly well maintained. · The site perimeter is secure, and its main entrance has a strong gate. Page 4 of 30 CHAPTER 3 - CEMETERIES AND GRAVEYARDS Site Area Site Name Address Ownership Number (Hectares) Diocese of CG1 All Saints Church Betts Lane 1.06 Chelmsford All Saints Church, Site CG1 ALL SAINTS CHURCH (CG1) 3.0 All Saints Church lies towards the end of the cul-de-sac road known as Betts Lane, near the north east corner of the parish. The churchyard is a clean, tidy and attractive site at the top of a hill, offering some long ranging views of the surrounding landscape. At the same time, the site is largely hidden from view by a perimeter of tall bushes and trees, with the exception of the southern border which offers views down towards Nazeing village. The main entrance, an attractive slated lych gate, is to the south west, and has a signpost. The nearby large gravel surfaced area, at the end of Betts Lane, offers space for vehicles to turn around, as well as parking for approximately 15 cars. 3.1 A hard surfaced footpath runs from the lych gate to the church itself, towards the north of the churchyard. This pathway links into a network of further footpaths within the site, but particularly to the south, where the majority of graves are located. The northern half the site is dominated by a significant number of trees, which very much add to the overall visual amenity. Plenty of Page 5 of 30 seats have been provided, allowing visitors to rest and enjoy the attractive churchyard and the countryside beyond. ISSUES AND QUESTIONS · This is the only churchyard in the parish. · The site is accessible, and offers a good number of parking spaces. · Its location, on the top of a hill, provides some very attractive views, which can be glimpsed through the dense perimeter vegetation. · The site is clean, tidy and very well maintained. · The churchyard is well signposted, and offers plenty of seats for visitors. Page 6 of 30 CHAPTER 4 - FORMAL PLAYING PITCHES Site Area Site Name Address Ownership Number (Hectares) Nazeing Common Cricket Nazeing Common, FP1 1.68 Privately Owned Club Nazeing Nazeing Common, Nazeing Parish FP2 Nazeing Leisure Centre 1.49 Bumbles Green Council NAZEING COMMON CRICKET CLUB (FP1) 4.0 Situated to the north east of the parish, close to the boundary with Roydon, and within the area known as Nazeingwood Common, this cricket club can be accessed via a short gravel track off Nazeing Common. The gravel track leads directly into a gravel surfaced car park, with space for 12 to 15 vehicles. There is evidence that cars are often parked on the perimeter of the cricket pitch itself, to the north west corner of the site. 4.1 The majority of the area is taken up by the cricket pitch, with three practice nets to the south west corner. In front of the car park, to the north east and facing the pitch, is the clubhouse, comprising of a row of three separate buildings. The site is predominantly open in the nature, apart from the dense vegetation along its northern perimeter, and the trees spread along the boundaries. Through gaps in the vegetation, visitors can glimpse views out onto Nazeingwood Common. Nazeing Common Cricket Club, Site FP1 Page 7 of 30 NAZEING LEISURE CENTRE (FP2) 4.2 Nazeing Leisure Centre lies to the south of Bumbles Green, close to the parish border with Waltham Abbey. Vehicle access is via a signposted entrance to the south of Nazeing Common. From here a hard surfaced track leads along the western perimeter, leading to a small hard surfaced car park in the south eastern corner of the site. There is a small clubhouse / changing room adjacent to the car park. This building is screened by trees on all but its northern side, and is largely hidden from view. The remainder of the site is surrounded by low hedgerows and some smaller trees, allowing views of the open countryside to the south. 4.3 The main part of the site is a relatively large area of grassland, with a single football pitch on it. A wooden fence, in good condition, separates this area of mown grassland from the entrance road along the eastern perimeter which provides car with access to the car park. There is a children’s playground (see site CY1) to the north west corner of the site, with its own pedestrian entrance to the north off Nazeing Common. The site overall appears very well maintained, and is clean and tidy. There is, however, a lack of any seats, litter bins or dog waste bins. Nazeing Leisure Centre, Site FP2 Page 8 of 30 ISSUES AND QUESTIONS · There is a good range of provision for this type of open space within the parish given its rural location. · Both sites appear to be well maintained and are clean, tidy and clear of any noticeable vandalism. · There would appear to be a need for a larger car park at Nazeing Common Cricket Club (FP1) given that cars often park on the grass during match days. · Nazeing Leisure Centre (FP2) does not provide any seating, litter bins or dog waste bins. · Whilst there is no indication that dogs are not allowed on Nazeing Leisure Centre (FP1), young children using this site should be supervised by an adult to ensure their safety.

  • Epping Forest District Council Local Development Framework Annual
    Epping Forest District Council Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report December 2005 1.0 Introduction As part of the Local Development Framework system that has now replaced the Local Plan based system, Planning services are required to produce an Annual Monitoring Report each year for the preceding financial year. This report looks at a number of policy areas, and shows the performance in each by the use of a number of indicators. This performance is then evaluated against the targets set in local or national policy, or against the policy itself if no firm measures exist. This is our first Annual Monitoring report, and as such is very much a learning experience for us as a Council. If there are areas of the report which you think could be improved, or additional information that could be added please contact us at [email protected]. In future years we plan to add a number of Local Indicators, but in this first year we have chosen to use only the criterion specified by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). 2.0 Population of Epping Forest District 2.1 Census Background With few exceptions, a Census of Population has been undertaken in the United Kingdom every 10 years since 1851. The amount of data produced has increased dramatically in recent years, particularly with the advent of new technology Epping Forest District is an attractive, predominantly commuter area on the north- eastern edge of London. The district has a population of around 121,000, of which nearly three quarters live in the suburban towns of Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Chigwell, Epping and Waltham Abbey.

  • Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Study
    EB900 Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project 2015 i EB900 Acknowledgements Thanks go to Adele Niinemae, Hassan Ahmed, Maria Kitts and Chris Neilan at Epping Forest Council for help in compiling this report. The Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project report was prepared by the Historic Environment specialists of Place Services, a traded arm of Essex County Council. The project team comprised Nigel Brown, Richard Havis, Maria Medlycott, Alison Bennett, Teresa O’Connor and Helen Saunders. How to use this report and maps The project report looks at: a) How the historic environment of Epping Forest District developed from about 500,000 years ago to the present day. b) Broad historic environment character areas drawing together information on the historic landscape character, archaeological character, and historic urban character. c) More detailed character zones, with more information on the character of these zones including the diversity of historic environment assets, their survival and documentation, group value association, potential and sensitivity to change, and amenity value. The individual character zones summarise the information listed on the Essex Historic Environment Record. Obviously they show what is known at a point in time, and it should be remembered that new features are being identified and added to the Record all of the time. This report will be useful to developers, planners and interested members of the public and schools. To learn more about any of the historic environment assets and the potential use of the zones etc., you are advised to contact Place Services Historic Environment specialists for guidance. Contact details are on the last page of this report.

Firstly, we will have had our annual Christmas market on the 2nd of December. This event has quickly become part of village tradition, and will see many things continuing from last year. We hope to have made some changes for the better as well. We have arranged for the presence of reindeer and a snow globe to add to the School Choir, brass band and stalls from last year. Additionally, we are bringing back the location of our Christmas Tree to the Green, near the zebra crossing. As ever, the Councillors will be collecting for our charity of the year, which this year is St Clare’s Hospice. Collecting tins will be all around the market and the Councillors will also have given up time on the Saturday morning to collect in the village centre. There is particular poignancy this year, as in September we experienced the loss of previous Councillor Peter Hammond, who spent some time in St Clare’s himself.
