(b) Local Plan Development Scheme The Chairman reported that there were no recommendations of the Cabinet in relation to the report. (c) East of England (Draft RSS14) - Response regarding proposals for North Weald The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Economic Development asked the Council to consider the implications for North Weald of the emerging East of England Plan. He stated that the proposals could involve the provision of 6,000 new dwellings at the location and park and ride facilities to improve the areas transport links. Members considered the framework and formulated a response. It was noted that a petition formulated to register concerns about the East of England Plan's proposals for a new housing development at North Weald would be placed in the Members' Room. Amendment moved by Councillor D Stallan and seconded by Councillor Mrs A Grigg "That the following recommendation (to be numbered (9)) be added to the report: The proposals in the plan if implemented would result in the loss of a unique asset, a site of historic importance, a major leisure facility and active airfield which benefits from overwhelming support on a local, national and international level. A consequence would be the loss of not only existing use but also the airfield's potential to play a key role in attracting commercial enterprises to the area supporting sustainable development." Carried Report as amended: ADOPTED RESOLVED: That the following be the basis of a specific response to EERA concerning references to, and policies for, North Weald and the Epping/Harlow high quality public transport spine contained in the East of England Plan: (1) There is insufficient justification in the draft regional Plan for the development it proposes at North Weald and environs (6,000 homes, employment and Park and Ride) and not the exceptional circumstances required to remove land for this amount of development from the Metropolitan 662 Council 8 March 2005 Green Belt. It would appear that the Plan has overestimated the capacity of North Weald and its environs given PPG2 advice on defensible Green Belt boundaries; (2) The timescale of the Plan is not practical as it will be difficult to sell or rent this number of homes in such a short time. The timescale is also impracticable due to the need not to prejudice the regeneration of Harlow. Additionally the timescale is inadequate to allow time for planting and landscaping to achieve the necessary noise abatement and screening; (3) There is, and will be in the future, a need to accommodate the natural increase in households in the district. This is not easy to do in a locality like Epping Forest District (as implied in the Plan) and can be expected to become more difficult in the future. The effect of the Plan’s proposals (including the proposals for Park and Ride) will be to use up a land resource, for short term development which has insufficient justification and to which other locations in the region are available (e.g. a regional large new settlement elsewhere), which should be husbanded so as to meet local needs over the longer term; an approach which is more sustainable; (4) The Plan’s proposals for North Weald and environs are not sustainable, particularly regarding protection of the environment, use of scarce natural resources, and in social terms; (5) Proposals for a high quality public transport spine from Epping to Harlow are welcome. But the quality needs to be high enough to provide an attractive enough alternative to the private car for the reasons set out in Sections 25-28 of this report; (6) Proposals for improvements to Junction 7 of the M11 are welcome as long as they take into account the reduction in traffic that re-routing of A414 traffic via the proposed northern bypass together with a new M11 junction will bring, are proportionate to real need, and do not have an unacceptable impact on the environment; (7) Employment land to serve Harlow should be provided close to Harlow and integrated with the proposed northern expansion and northern bypass; with employment land at North Weald being of a scale and phased to meet the needs of North Weald itself and the Epping Forest District; (8) North Weald does not need to be subject to the joint planning arrangements set out in the regional Plan, and certainly should not be part of a Local Delivery Vehicle for Harlow as it is an entirely separate entity. Alternative arrangements for a local partnership are realistic and far more likely to deliver a truly sustainable solution, which relates to people’s needs in a more accountable way; (9) The proposals in the plan if implemented would result in the loss of a unique asset, a site of historic importance, a major leisure facility and active airfield which benefits from overwhelming support on a local, national and international level.

    Draft recommendations on the future electoral arrangements for Harlow in Essex June 2000 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND The Local Government Commission for England is an independent body set up by Parliament.

Members of the Commission are: Professor Malcolm Grant (Chairman) Professor Michael Clarke CBE (Deputy Chairman) Peter Brokenshire Kru Desai Pamela Gordon Robin Gray Robert Hughes CBE Barbara Stephens (Chief Executive) We are statutorily required to review periodically the electoral arrangements – such as the number of councillors representing electors in each area and the number and boundaries of wards and electoral divisions – of every principal local authority in England. In broad terms our objective is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, and the number of councillors and ward names. © Crown Copyright 2000 Applications for reproduction should be made to: Her Majesty’s Stationery Office Copyright Unit The mapping in this report is reproduced from OS mapping by the Local Government Commission for England with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, © Crown Copyright.

  • 1 Introduction and Aims
    PACEC Introduction and Aims 1 Introduction and Aims 1.1 The Background 1.1.1 In May 2004 Harlow Council, funded by ODPM, appointed PACEC and Halcrow to develop a Regeneration Strategy and Implementation Framework for Harlow. The context of the project was that Harlow had been identified by the Government as a potential growth area in the Sustainable Communities Plan. Related policy development included Regional Planning Guidance (RPG14) and the East of England Plan. The brief stated that the Harlow Strategy would clearly articulate Harlow’s regeneration needs and priorities for investment, and detail the extent to which these can be achieved through housing growth and other factors. The Framework will be set within the context of a vision for a regenerated Harlow and the role(s) it could play in the sub-region. 1.1.2 The Strategy will: a Build on and develop in practical ways the substantive work already undertaken in the region on alternative growth scenarios, infrastructure and development needs. b Articulate Harlow’s regeneration needs and priorities for investment, and detail the extent to which these can be achieved through housing growth and other factors. c Ascertain how future infrastructure investment opportunities can be realized to bring maximum benefit to the area and people of the town. d Develop a regeneration strategy and implementation framework to feed into the RPP process. 1.1.3 The Strategy will consider three alternative development related scenarios, and short, medium and long term infrastructure and investment needs. The project will involve four stages. An inception stage one which primarily focuses on the regeneration needs and issues and provides an evidence base.
