APPENDIX 5A – Schedule of Proposed Policies Map Changes June 2019
APPENDIX 5A – Schedule of Proposed Policies Map Changes June 2019 Schedule of Proposed Changes to the Pre-Submission Local Plan Policies Map A Planning Inspector is examining the Chelmsford City Council Local Plan as submitted by the Council on 29 June 2018. As part of the examination process a number of proposed modifications to the Pre-Submission Local Plan have been identified. These modifications are either classified as "main" or "additional" modifications and are set out in the updated main and additional modification schedules, March 2019. The policies map is not defined in statute as a development plan document and so the Inspector does not have the power to recommend main modifications to it. However the Council must maintain an adopted policies map which accurately illustrates geographically the application of the policies in the adopted development plan. Therefore, this schedule sets out a number of changes to the policies map which are in response to specific modifications to policies set out in the main modifications schedule. Other changes are also included to reflect the additional modifications schedule. The related main or additional modification reference number is included in the schedule below. Where changes are factual only there is no main or additional modification reference included. Accompanying this schedule are inset maps showing the specific changes in map form, where applicable. Please note maps have not been produced if the only change is to the title. It should be noted that at the point of adoption the latest OS base mapping will be applied to the policies map and insets. This may result in minor changes occurring to notation boundaries. -

England Coast Path Stretch: Tilbury to Southend-On-Sea Report TSE 5: Ferry Road, Benfleet to Barge Pier, Shoeburyness
www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Tilbury to Southend-on-Sea Report TSE 5: Ferry Road, Benfleet to Barge Pier, Shoeburyness Part 5.1: Introduction Start Point: Ferry Road, Benfleet (Grid reference TQ 7799 8570) End Point: Barge Pier, Shoeburyness (Grid reference TQ 9311 8396) Relevant Maps: TSE 5a to TSE 5k 5.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Tilbury and Southend-on-Sea 5.1.2 This report covers length TSE 5 of the stretch, which is the coast between Ferry Road, Benfleet and Barge Pier, Shoeburyness. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 5.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change. -

The Essex Birdwatching Society Newsletter The Natural Home of Bird Recording and Birdwatching in Essex since 1949 October 2020 Issue 45 Dear Essex Birders With chillier mornings and cooler days, we are very much in autumn now and many of our summer migrants will be replaced by autumn and winter migrants in the coming weeks. We were hoping to launch the Big County Birdwatch around now but with recent Covid restrictions we have had to adapt this years effort so we will now have THE BIG COUNTY GARDEN BIRDWATCH running from Friday 2nd - Monday 5th October 2020. I hope to send details of this great event in the next week or so.... watch this space! Best wishes to all. Steve IMPORTANT INFORMATION Due to the new law which came into force on Monday 14th Sept 2020 regarding the number of people (Maximum of 6) that are legally permitted to meet in a social gathering, it is with regret that all EBwS field trips planned for 2020 have had to be cancelled.

Talking Dirty, Tongue First Research at the Mouth of the Thames Estuary
Talking Dirty, Tongue First Research at the Mouth of the Thames Estuary \ Fran Gallardo and Arts Catayst 1 2 „ + =Leigh-on-Sea Sailing Club Boat Yard Leigh Marsh Two Tree Island Hadleigh Ray î 3 200 meters Talking Dirty: Tongue First! Recipes & Research at the Mouth of the Thames for John, a friend, lovely smuggler, queer sailor and activist By Fran Gallardo & Arts Catalyst 5 6 Preface Talking Dirty: Tongue First! Recipes & Research at the Mouth of the Thames, is a commission by Arts Catalyst led by artist Fran Gallardo. Talking Dirty: Tongue First! was a series of public events involving local foods, their source, preparation and consumption, leading to this recipe book produced in collaboration with the situated knowledge of South Essex people, scientific research and global socio-environmental ‘trends’. This book contains instructions for cooking with estuary ingredients: Grey Mullet and Hair Soy sauce to inhaling Fogs and Airs of the Thames Estuary. Through introducing local people to ingredients from the Thames in public cooking and tasting workshops in Leigh-on-Sea, they explored environmental and industrial changes including social impacts of these changes. Alongside these tastings, Andy Freeman led citizen science workshops which investigated the traces of waste disposal on the ‘unnatural’ nature reserve of Two Tree Island in Leigh-on-Sea with Dr Mark Scrimshaw, Reader in Environmental Chemistry at Brunel University. Citizen science workshops involved the use of digital technologies to investigate the legacy of generations of industrial use and misuse in the estuary landscape to reflect on wildlife habitats, global effects of climate change, industrialisation, farming, risk and health. -
