JTP is an international placemaking practice of architects and urban designers with extensive experience of delivering successful places for both the public and private sectors throughout the UK and internationally.

What to expect at this Community Planning Event There will be an exhibition explaining the background to the proposals. JTP / The Team members will be on hand to answer questions.

Community There will also be an opportunity to share local knowledge and help to shape the Planning Process plans through workshops, walkabouts and hands-on planning groups. Participation is on a drop-in basis there is no need to pre-register and you can stay for a short while, a few hours or for the whole event if you are able to.

JTP’s approach to the Community Planning Weekend We listen. We debate.

Our workshops uncover the things that matter most to people. We draw together. We create new places and breathe life into old ones.

March 2016 Spring 2016 Mid 2016 TBC TBC Background County Council Epping Forest District Council, Essex County Council and NHS are working jointly (ECC)(~1.7Ha) on the following proposals at Hillhouse: Epping Forest District Council (EDFC) • A New Health Centre providing new accommodation for the current Maynard Court (~1.9Ha) Surgery. (A temporary premises will exist near or on-site until the new health centre is completed.) • An Independent Living Scheme (sometimes referred to as Extra Care) with 1 and 2 bedroom self-contained apartments for people over 55 years old. The scheme will provide access to services to meet residents’ individual care needs as well as having a range of communal social spaces. • A New Leisure Centre and Swimming Pool to replace the existing The Site Leisure Centre at Roundhills. It is envisaged that this would include a 25m pool with 6 lanes, plus a learner pool, a studio for movement/dance activities, and a multi-use community space. • It is proposed that around half of the existing playing fields would be retained as recreation space.

The Council has appointed architects and community planners JTP to work with the local community at this Community Planning Weekend to help create a Vision for the new development.

May Revision 001 2 © Sport England 2011 Settlement Growth Early 11th century (1000s) The recorded history of Waltham Abbey began during the reign of Canute (1016-1035) Key when standard-bearer, Tovi the Proud, founded a church to house a ‘miraculous’ cross Site Location Waltham Abbey Church discovered in Somerset. Watercourses Navigation After Tovi died, Waltham reverted to the King (Edward) who gave it to Earl Harold Railway Godwinson (later King Harold). King Harold was reputed to have been cured of paralysis Railway station after praying before the miraculous Holy Cross. Settlement Nurseries / Allotment Gardens Late 12th century (1100s) The church at Waltham was refounded by Henry II. During this time it was granted Abbey status after significant enlargement which included an abbot and multiple canons. Settlement Growth It grew to be the richest monastery in Essex.

1883 1897 16th century (1500s) By order of Henry VIII, the Abbey became the last working abbey or monastery to be dissolved and was partially demolished. The parish church remained for the townsfolk.

17th - 18th century (1600s - 1700s) Initially the mills set up by the Abbey monks on the Millhead Stream were used for fulling (a step in the production of cloth), and then for producing vegetable oils. Gunpowder production began in the mid-late 1600s.

As the mills expanded upstream, the Waltham Abbey Mills became one of the first examples in the 18th century of an industrialised factory system. In the late 1780s, the Crown purchased the mills.

19th - 20th century (1800s - 1900s) 1923 1935 Horticultural and glasshouse industry flourished during this time with the growing demand for produce for London. Railway and road improvements allowed Waltham Abbey to become a viable place of residence.

The Royal Gunpowder Mills ceased to manufacture explosives in 1945 after being an important production site during both World Wars. It was targeted by a German rocket in March 1945, which instead landed nearby on Highbridge Street. The mills became a research facility prior to closure in 1991 and redeveloped as the Gunpowder Mills Museum.

Following World War II, London faced an extreme housing shortage due to damage from heavy bombing and a rapidly increasing population. The government built many new council estates around the edges of cities during the following decades. The large Ninefields estate built during the 60s and 70s was one such development.

1976 1991 21st century (2000s) Waltham Abbey continues to grow with housing and commerce. Recently, the largest Sainsbury’s distribution centre in southern England was built just south of the M25.
