Securing the Future for St. Mary's & Christ Church Our Project Securing the Future for St. Mary’s & Christ Church Our Project In early 2020, Wanstead Parish secured a heritage grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to help us become more resilient and adaptable. A group of parish and community members representing both churches have been working together for 9 months to develop a brief. Our ambition is to serve our communities better, make both buildings and their green spaces more accessible, reduce our carbon footprint, and become more resilient to future changes. We have been working with a professional team who have developed a number of options for us. Our criteria have been: 1) Heritage: removing the buildings from the Buildings at Risk Register 2) Environmental: maximising environmental benefits and impacts 3) Inclusion: ensuring the parish serves our communities 4) Finance: the option to be affordable and sustainable. We have now chosen our preferred option and want to hear what you think. Please use the QR code or other contact details on the board to give us your feedback.

  • Leyton Flats
    LEYTON FLATS Individual Site Plan Date 27 September 2019 Version Number v11 Review Date Author Fiona Martin/Geoff Sinclair Land Area 78.03 ha Compartment Number 36 Designations Epping Forest Land (1878 Act) Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Site of Importance for Nature Conservation Large Raised Reservoir Locally Important Geological Site Leyton Flats Green Belt Leyton Flats INDIVIDUAL SITE PLAN SUMMARY Leyton Flats (also known locally as Hollow Ponds) is Epping Forest’s most visited location. It is an area of open grassland, woodland and ponds towards the southern end of Epping Forest, owned and managed by the City of London Corporation (COL). The Flats are highly valued by local residents as a natural open space in a heavily built-up area of northeast London and has a high conservation value, as recognised by its statutory protection, with an additional, largely hidden heritage. With predicted local population growth and consequent additional visitor pressure, it is timely to review the current issues faced in the management of this site and plan for the future, to sustain this well cared for and much loved landscape. This Individual Site Plan lists current management considerations but also presents a strategic work programme to ensure a sustainable future for the conservation and heritage interest of Leyton Flats, along with its immense recreational value. INTRODUCTION Leyton Flats , covering around 75 hectares, makes up one of 38 management compartments and covers 3% of the surface area of Epping Forest. Epping Forest is one of London’s largest and most significant natural Open Spaces, managed in perpertuity by the City of London Corporation, as The Conservators of Epping Forest, under the auspices of the Epping Forest Acts 1878 and 1880.

  • 1 CED013 Council's Response to Issue 6 Issue 6 Are There
    CED013 Council’s Response to Issue 6 Issue 6 Are there exceptional circumstances that warrant altering Green Belt boundaries? As set out in response to questions (i) – (xi) below, the Council maintains that there are exceptional circumstances that warrant altering Green Belt boundaries. (i) Having regard to the NPPF, the housing targets in The London Plan, the policy approach of supporting growth without encroaching on the Green Belt, the identification of Green Belt in the London SHLA as a policy constraint (paragraph 2.40 of LBR 2.05) and the objectively assessed need for housing in the Borough should Green Belt sites be released for development as a matter of principle? 1.1 Having regard to each of the above points, the Council maintains that as a matter of principle, it is acceptable to release land from the Green Belt through the Local Plan. Doing so is necessary to meet the boroughs development needs, which represent exceptional circumstances. This is consistent with paragraph 83 of the NPPF, which states that “Once established, Green Belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional circumstances, through the preparation or review of the Local Plan.” 1.2 Whilst the broad policy approach in both the NPPF and the London Plan is to support growth without encroaching onto the Green Belt, neither rules out amending Green Belt boundaries through a Local Plan where exceptional circumstances exist. 1.3 The London Plan housing target for the borough is a minimum of 1,123 dwellings per annum, or 16,845 over the plan period. The London SHLA demonstrates that this target cannot be met in the borough through brownfield land alone.

  • Committee Report Template
    Committee(s): Date(s): Epping Forest Consultative – For Discussion 130219 Epping Forest and Commons – For Decision 110319 Subject: Public Eagle Pond Conservation Statement (SEF 7/19) Report of: For Discussion Colin Buttery, Director of Open Spaces Paul Wilkinson, City Surveyor Report author: Paul Thomson, Superintendent of Epping Forest Summary This report is necessary to seek the adoption of the draft Conservation Statement for the heritage landscape of Eagle Pond, Leyton Flats. Prior to becoming part of the Epping Forest arbitration award, Eagle Pond was connected with the Wanstead Infant Orphan Asylum grounds and the earlier more extensive Wanstead Park estate while today also forming part of the Snaresbrook Conservation Area. The Conservation Statement suggests that Eagle Pond is largely of local significance to Snaresbrook and Epping Forest, but the pond possesses historical links to the Grade II* Wanstead Park and Grade II Snaresbrook Crown Court which are nationally significant. The Conservation Statement proposes 19 policies which will guide the conservation of the site’s heritage value. Recommendation(s) Consultative Members are asked to: Note the content of this report and the draft Eagle Pond Conservation Statement. Offer any further comment on the draft Eagle Pond Conservation Statement for consideration by the Epping Forest and Commons Committee. Main Report Background 1. Section 7(3) of the Epping Forest Act 1878 obliges the Conservators to ‘at all time as far as possible preserve the natural aspect of the Forest’. While the definition natural aspect is not clearly defined in the Act, the description of the natural aspect within section 7 includes both heritage and nature conservation elements.

  • Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Benevolent Institutions
    Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Benevolent Institutions SLR 04/10: Closing date for responses – 31 December 2010 BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS REPEAL PROPOSALS Introduction 1. These repeal notes propose the repeal of some 73 obsolete Acts relating to a variety of benevolent institutions. Many of these institutions are, or were, charitable bodies such as schools, hospitals and almshouses which were established in the 18th or 19th centuries to meet the needs of the poor, sick or elderly. 2. The Acts have become obsolete either because the institutions which they relate to have ceased to exist or because the Acts in question no longer serve any useful purpose, often because they have been superseded by schemes made by the Charity Commission. The Acts span the period 1721 to 1958. 3. The proposals include the repeal of- the Female Orphan Asylum Act 1800 (which helped to establish an orphanage in South London) the Hospital for Poor French Protestants Act 1808 (relating to a home established in central London to shelter Protestant refugees from France) the Refuge for the Destitute Act 1838 (relating to a charity established to help women upon their discharge from prison) the Imprisoned Debtors Discharge Society’s Act 1856 (to help imprisoned debtors secure their early release from prison). 4. These repeal proposals apply only to Acts relating to institutions operating in England or, in some cases, Ireland. Comments are invited by 31 December 2010. i BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it.

  • Character Areas
    SECTION 5 CHARACTER AREAS The Green at Woodford Bridge New Welcome Centre on Green Lane, Ilford CHARACTER AREAS Overview For the purpose of detailed assessment, Redbridge has been divided into eighteen character areas. These are parts of town which tend to be focussed on a centre and often constitute a coherent place. Streets and blocks within the area generally share physical characteristics and form neighbourhoods that are often, but not always, defined by physical boundaries (main roads, railways and landscape corridors) and are not constrained by administrative boundaries. Precise boundaries between character areas can be difficult to define, may overlap and can depend on interpretation. They can change over time. For these reason the areas are defined as ‘fuzzy’ overlapping blobs. A provisional list of 20 character areas was reduced to 18 during the project, as Ilford Lane has been described as part of South Ilford and Newbury Park has been combined with Aldborough. The extent of each character area has been described and the historic development of each area is summarised. Primary and secondary typologies are identified within the character area at a block or street level. Unique and locally specific elements are also defined. Area specific issues are identified and the capacity of each area to accommodate change is described. The 18 Character areas are illustrated in the map that follows.

  • WALKING the TUBE by Mark Moxon a Report of the LURS Meeting at All Saints Clubhouse on 13 July 2010
    WALKING THE TUBE by Mark Moxon A report of the LURS meeting at All Saints Clubhouse on 13 July 2010 Two years ago Mark Moxon walked the entire tube network and came to talk to the Society about his experiences. WHY WALK THE TUBE? Mark has previously done a lot of overseas walking in the 1990s: Nepal, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Annapurna. He had also previously walked the London Loop which is at the Zone 6 boundary between September 2002 and December 2003. He had also walked from Land‟s End to John O‟Groats from May to July 2003 and also the Capital Ring, near Zones 2 and 3 from July 2006 to June 2007. After that, he invented the Tube Walk as something else to do – at that time there were no other details of anyone else having completed this. THE RULES OF TUBEWALKING Before setting off, he invented some quite arbitrary rules: Follow the Tube: only walk between stations if there‟s a line (otherwise it might never be finished!) No Repeats – otherwise he would have had to walk, for example, Baker Street to Liverpool Street three times. Each station had to be visited – the only exception to this was Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 as BAA will not allow people to walk to this station. Only the Tube, not the DLR or London Overground – perhaps this is something in reserve! THE ROUTE The first job was with the computer to work out the walking route in comparison to where the various tube lines go.
