We also hope to run more evening events in collaboration with Baythorne Wines (wine tasting evenings etc.) What is your greatest memory since you have opened the business? It’s hard to pinpoint a single memory, but what I’m definitely most proud of is the Birdbrook Wild Life Column I hope some of you were lucky enough to see the Redwing and Fieldfare that frequented our gardens and hedgerows during the early part of January.

Matters arising from the September PC meeting 1. Belchamp Otten Community Woodland project (Item 2332.1) – Former Councillor Mark Skellett had confirmed that all three landowners approached at Belchamp Otten had declined to take part in this project. The PC were not in a position to purchase land for the project, because of their limited resources and they also noted potential problems with public liability if residents used equipment to prepare and maintain such a site. Although supportive of the idea, the Council therefore concluded that this project could not be taken forward at this time. They wished to record their thanks to Mark Skellett for his work on this project. 2. ECC Salt Bag Partnership for 2020 (Item 2334.3) – Members wished to thank John Clarke for agreeing to store the salt bags at his property.

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.
