STANSTED AIRPORT, AND THE STOP STANSTED EXPANSION ORGANISATION On 2nd June 2017, Stansted Airport Limited submitted a Planning Application requesting and EIA scoping opinion under Regulation 15 of The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 for a proposed increase in the annual number of passengers to 44.5mppa and corresponding increase of 11,000 annual aircraft movements with associated construction within the airport boundary including two new links to the runway together with six additional aircraft stands. This application is prior to the expected formal application expected later this year. The 'Scoping Opinion' application is to allow Uttlesford District Council and other Stakeholders a chance to review the technical scope, assumptions and methodology of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the proposed development, and for an opinion to be given. The 75 page 'scoping report' explains the planning background and principal elements for the proposed development, as well as outlining the Airport’s projected growth (i.e. ATM and passenger forecasts) which underpin the need case for the proposed development. It then sets out in detail the intended scope of the EIA in respect of those topics which can be considered to have the potential to give rise to ‘significant effects on the environment’. It also describes those topics which are proposed to be scoped out of the EIA, in agreement with UDC, on the basis that they will remain substantially unaffected by the proposed development and/or do not have the potential to give rise to significant environmental effects. A full copy of the 75 page report can be found by copying and pasting the web address below into your search engine. http://publicaccess.uttlesford.gov.uk/online- applications/files/B9A9E9C6A90D033306D76A418A2C310E/pdf/UTT_17_1640_SO- EIA_SCOPING_REPORT-2538048.pdf It should be noted that the Parish Council has not been formally consulted on this proposal as it falls outside the Epping Forest District, however historically the Parish Council has been actively involved with developments at Stansted. The deadline for responses to this application is 7th July, however the Clerk has emailed Karen Denmark, the Development Management Team Leader at Uttlesford District Council, requesting an extension to this deadline to allow the Parish Council time to respond. Councillors are asked if possible to review the application (UTT/17/1640/SO) and scoping report prior to the meeting so that an informed discussion can take place, and agreement reached as to if the Parish Council wishes to make a formal response to this application. 8. CLERKS COMMUNICATIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE REPORT To RECEIVE the oral report of the Clerk on matters which may be of current interest to Members and which require a formal update, and to RECEIVE such correspondence and communication as the Clerk may place before the Council. Items under this agenda item are for NOTING only. Moreton Bridge - Final installation of the stone cappings (hand-cut and measured Portland Stones with agreement being obtained from the Senior Conservation Officer at Epping Forest District Council for the materials used) are expected to take place from 31 July to 4 August. Works are unlikely to require a full road closure, instead it is proposed that traffic will be managed with stop/go boards between the hours of 8.30am – 5.30pm. EFDC Draft Local Plan - results on consultation are going to Cabinet on 11th July. Safer Communities Partnership - update from crime stats for the district and County (attached to the agenda) Neighbourhood Planning - letter from EFDC advising that they have secured the services of RCCE to support the 10 councils progressing a plan (half day per week collectively).

EFDC Infrastructure Delivery Plan - Workshop 8th July clerk will be attending Countrycare Events - leaflets on notice boards and website. 9. PLANNING a) Councillors are asked to NOTE that at an EFDC Planning Training session the Clerk attended on 30th June, it was confirmed that going forward EFDC would be taking a closer look at when planning applications should be considered by the relevant EFDC planning Committee, and it should no longer be assumed that simply because the Parish Council objects to an application, it will go to a committee and not be a delegated officer decision. This will depend of the type of application and the planning merits of any objection raised by the Parish Council. b) Councillors are asked to CONSIDER the following matters: 1.
