1: Introduction 1.1 The main purpose of the Stage 1 study is to undertake a high level review of Green Belt land across the District to identify the contribution of the Green Belt towards national Green Belt purposes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 1.2 Following this assessment against the national purposes a number of constraints will be applied as part of the Stage 1 study to enable further assessments of these areas in the Stage 2 report. 1.3 These constraints are as follows: • Strategic Flood Risk Assessment • Special Protection Areas (SPA) • Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) • Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) • Local Nature Reserves (LNR) • City of London Corporation Epping Forest Buffer land (land owned and managed by the City of London Corporation, which although not a formal part of the Forest, is not available for development) 1.4 The outcome of this study will provide only one piece of evidence amongst a wide range of considerations that must be taken into account before any potential changes to the Green Belt boundaries are proposed. Such considerations include, but are not limited to, objectively assessed need for development, infrastructure capacity, the availability land for development and sustainability. Therefore this document should not be read in isolation. If a parcel (or part of a parcel) is appraised as not serving the purposes of the Green Belt, this does not mean that the parcel should or will be allocated for development in the Local Plan or that the Council would look favourably on a planning application. 1.5 Please note that a separate Green Belt Review Methodology has been prepared which sets out an analysis of national policy relating to Green Belt and the approach of a two staged Green Belt Review. The Methodology should be read alongside this report. DRAFT 1 Report to Cabinet 3 September 2015 GREEN BELT REVIEWSTAGE ONE APPENDIX 2 September 2015 Chapter 2: History of the Green Belt and Local Green Belt Policy 2.1 The following chapter sets out a brief overview of current and historic local Green Belt policy and guidance (see methodology for an overview of national policy and guidance). Following on from this it considers the potential conditions for exceptional circumstances required in order to alter Green Belt boundaries. History of the Green Belt 2.2 The Metropolitan Green Belt, which covers part of Epping Forest District, has been a central feature of planning policy in the Home Counties since it was first formally approved in 1957. The concept of a Green Belt around London originated before the Second World War in response to the need to control the outward spread of London. Epping Forest was one of the inspirations for the Green Belt principle, beginning with the First Report of the Greater London Regional Planning Committee in 1929 and its ‘green girdle’ around London. The first Green Belt was defined by the London County Council in the Greater London Plan of 1944. Soon after, the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 led to the designation of a Green Belt by the councils around London. 2.3 The Green Belt proved to be an effective tool in limiting the extent of development. So much so that in 1955 the Government published a Circular (No 42/55) setting out the purposes of the Green Belt and encouraging other cities to follow London’s example and consider establishing a Green Belt. This Circular suggested that local authorities prepare policies to ensure that new development (a) was only permitted where it would lead to a rounding off of, or infilling within, a settlement in the Green Belt, or (b) was for the purposes of agriculture, recreation, cemeteries, institutions standing in large grounds or other uses appropriate to a rural area. Local Green Belt Policy 2.4 The current Epping Forest Green Belt boundaries were established in the 1980s in the Council’s first three Local Plans. The 1998 Local Plan only introduced very minor changes to the Green Belt. 2.5 The EssexDRAFT and Southend on

Staff News This year we shall be saying farewell to several staff. Mrs Watson, Deputy Head and Year 6 teacher will be retiring after 18 years loyal service. We shall miss her input into all areas of school life and the tremendous care that she has put into the teaching of her classes.

I am grateful for both of their hard work over the years and wish them well as they move slowly towards life beyond Coopersale Hall and retirement.

    EPPING FOREST DISTRICT BISHOPS HALL LAMBOURNE TQ 475 953 Remnants of design and planting under the auspices of Lord Lambourne, who served as president of the RHS (1919-1928). He was well known for his interest in rare plants, both hardy and exotics, which were raised within his series of specialised glasshouses and within the grounds of Bishops Hall representing late 19th and early 20th century work. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT The Bishops of Norwich held the estate of Bishops Hall in Lambourne from the 13th century until 1536 when the estate was transferred to King Henry VIII. The principal building was situated at the site known as Bishops Moat. Sometime during the ownership of William Walker (d. 1708) and his son Thomas (d. 1748) the manor house was relocated further west from Bishops Moat. The Lockwoods purchased the manor of Lambourne in 1782. By the 1830’s with the addition of Bishops Hall, which became the family seat, the estate comprised the manors of Bishops Hall, Lambourne, St. John’s (originally Lambourne-and-Abridge) and Dews Hall (demolished by mid-19th century). It was not until Lieut. Col. The Right Hon. Amelius Richard Mark Lockwood, P.S., C.V.O., M.P., K.L., J.P. took over the estate that evidence of major work on the property began. In 1910, Col. Lockwood was described as a, ‘… keen hunter, with a stuffed woodcock displayed in Bishops Hall shot by King Edward VII when the guest of Col. Lockwood. The entry for Bishops Hall in the same publication is: ‘…his picturesque Essex seat,’ ‘standing in about one hundred acres of grounds and commanding wide and extensive views, the fine old mansion, Bishops Hall, show great advantage amid the exquisitely laid out gardens, with Col.

    Flooding Emergency Response Plan – April 2014

    Flooding Emergency Response Plan – April 2014 Essex has experienced the longest sustained period of wet weather for many years and the County Council has released an additional £1m of emergency revenue funding to deal with highways related flooding. In mid-February 2014, each of the 12 districts in Essex were invited to put forward their top 5 flooding sites for their respective administrative areas, together with any background information. Some of the sites were already well known to Essex Highways due to regular flooding events after prolonged and heavy periods of rainfall. Other sites were not so well known and detailed investigation was therefore required at an early stage. In addition to the top flooding sites listed below, further known flooding defects have been attended to between mid-February and the end of April 2014. These have mainly consisted of blocked gullies, associated pipework and culverts. Some of these have been resolved with no further action required and some requiring a repair. The work is ongoing. A number of longer-term Capital schemes have been identified that will take longer to programme and deliver. The sites that were put forward for action were: Basildon – 6 sites A129 Southend Road, Billericay Kennel Lane, Billericay Cherrydown East, Basildon Roundacre/Cherrydown/The Gore, Billericay Outwood Common Road, Billericay A129 London Road, Billericay Braintree – 13 sites A120, Bradwell Village A131, Bulmer Church Street, Bocking Leather Lane/North Road & Highfields, Great Yeldham London Road, Black Notley B1256
