It monitors the period from 1st April 2006 to 31st March 2007. 1.2 A key objective of the new planning system is that local development documents will be ‘spatial’ rather than simply land-use plans. They will deliver sustainable development objectives, consider the needs of communities and key spatial drivers of change, facilitate partnership and focus upon implementation. 1.3 The evidence base upon which LDDs are based, requires the review of the following matters, which are set out in the monitoring report: i.

A hybrid planning application (11/01169/OUT) for the partial redevelopment of the site in two phases (Phase 1 & Phase 2), was submitted to Braintree District Council in August 2011. The following archaeological investigation was undertaken in advance of Phase 1 of the redevelopment, which comprises the erection of two new retail buildings, associated parking and a new access road (Fig 2). The site is located within an area of archaeological potential. Roman building remains have been identified to the north of the development area (EHER 6958-62) and Roman burials were excavated in the late 18th and 19th centuries near the road junction to the south of the site (EHER 6963-64). For more information on the historical background of the area and details of archaeological finds recovered in the vicinity, see the Essex County Council brief (O’Connor 2012) and the Written Scheme of Investigation (CAT 2012), both of which are appended to this report.

  • THE CHAIRMAN's ANNUAL REPORT 2015/16 As Presented to The
    THE CHAIRMAN’S ANNUAL REPORT 2015/16 as presented to the Annual Parish Meeting Annual Parish Meeting 2016 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (for the 01/04/2015 to 31/03/2016 year) Introduction. It’s that time again and no doubt this year’s report won’t seem much different from the previous twelve I have done, mainly because a small Parish Council’s work does not change much from one year to the next unless something major takes place. I will not repeat all the history of how and why Parish Councils came into being and as with other sections will try to be brief but to the point. I will however repeat that the Council is made up of seven elected Councillors with the assistance and advice of a Parish Clerk and Responsible Finance Officer usually, as in our case, one and the same person. We should have had an election in May 2015 but unfortunately only myself and Steve Rhenius stood for re-election together with Alan Cook and Peter Smart so the four of us were elected unopposed. I am pleased to say we have co- opted two new councillors since then so we are now six out of a full quota of seven. Dominic Simpson joined at our January meeting and Martin Gilbert in March. We may also have our final member waiting in the wings. As explained in the past, in area, Birdbrook Parish Council is quite large as it incorporates Birdbrook Village, Baythorne End, New England, Finkle Green and other outlying farms and properties.
