Biodiversity is vital to our quality of life. It provides us with clean air and water, and Introduction resources for recreation and education. It The aim of this document is to give a brief improves our well-being and maintains a introduction to the biodiversity of the district whole range of environmental protection and to establish a five year Action Plan functions such as flood control and climate containing a range of targets aimed at regulation. Ultimately it acts as the life conserving and enhancing biodiversity support system for the planet and is across the district. The Epping Forest essential for our very survival.

For example, Biodiversity Action Plan. studies have shown that 98% of wildflower meadows, 448,000 kilometres of What is Biodiversity? hedgerows, over 2 million skylarks and Biological diversity, or “biodiversity” is the 95% of high brown fritillary butterflies have variety of life that is all around us and all been lost in less than a lifetime.

  • Annual Monitoring Report
    EB1708A Epping Forest District Council Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report December 2005 EB1708A 1.0 Introduction As part of the Local Development Framework system that has now replaced the Local Plan based system, Planning services are required to produce an Annual Monitoring Report each year for the preceding financial year. This report looks at a number of policy areas, and shows the performance in each by the use of a number of indicators. This performance is then evaluated against the targets set in local or national policy, or against the policy itself if no firm measures exist. This is our first Annual Monitoring report, and as such is very much a learning experience for us as a Council. If there are areas of the report which you think could be improved, or additional information that could be added please contact us at [email protected]. In future years we plan to add a number of Local Indicators, but in this first year we have chosen to use only the criterion specified by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). EB1708A 2.0 Population of Epping Forest District 2.1 Census Background With few exceptions, a Census of Population has been undertaken in the United Kingdom every 10 years since 1851. The amount of data produced has increased dramatically in recent years, particularly with the advent of new technology Epping Forest District is an attractive, predominantly commuter area on the north- eastern edge of London. The district has a population of around 121,000, of which nearly three quarters live in the suburban towns of Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Chigwell, Epping and Waltham Abbey.

  • The Hundred Parishes HUNSDON
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to HUNSDON 4 miles NW of Harlow. Ordnance Survey grid square TL4114. Postcode SG12 8NJ. Access: B180, no train station. The village is served by bus routes 351 (Hertford to Bishop‘s Stortford), C3 (Waltham Cross to Hertford or Harlow) and 5 (South End to Harlow Sats. only). County: Hertfordshire. District: East Hertfordshire. Population: 1,080 in 2011. The village of Hunsdon was registered in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village centre is dominated by the 15th-century village hall, originally a house called ’The Harlowes’ which had previously been the village school as far back as at least 1806. The hall faces one of the village’s original 5 greens, mainly now used as a pub car park but also the site of the war memorial. A number of houses in the village date back to the same period as the hall, including ’White Horses’ to the right of the village hall, while many others are of subsequent centuries. Hunsdon’s greatest claim to fame is as the site of Hunsdon House to the east of the church. The house was built in the 15th century by Sir William Oldhall, but by the 16th century the building and its extensive parks were in the hands of the Crown. Henry VIII rebuilt the house expanding it into a palatial estate in the Tudor style, complete with royal apartments and even a moat, making it into a splendid palace. Henry spent much of his leisure time at Hunsdon hunting in the well stocked deerpark. All of the King’s children lived there, Mary until her accession to the throne, Elizabeth and particularly Prince Edward.

  • Eco-Hydrological Survey of Hunsdon Mead Sssi – Unit 2, Roydon Mead 2015 - 2017
    ECO-HYDROLOGICAL SURVEY OF HUNSDON MEAD SSSI – UNIT 2, ROYDON MEAD 2015 - 2017 FLOODPLAIN MEADOWS PARTNERSHIP AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME SPRING VIEW OF ROYDON MEAD (2015) Sonja Kaupe Natural England June 2017 Floodplain Meadows Partnership Ambassador Programme – Hunsdon Mead Unit 2 (Roydon Mead) - 2015-2017. 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Roydon Mead is part of Hunsdon Mead SSSI, designated for its floodplain meadow plant communities. It is one of the remaining sites in the area still managed on the ancient Lammas system of hay making followed by winter grazing. Roydon Mead is the smaller of the two units of the SSSI and is a complex of meadows, privately owned, that seasonally flood from the Canons Brook. High nutrients levels and waterlogging have been known issues on the site and may be a threat to the existing plant communities. This 2 year study was lead as part of the Floodplain Meadow Partnership Ambassador programme. Its aim was to study the different aspects influencing the ecology of floodplain meadows, understand a site and make informed management recommendations. The conclusions of this study reinforced the known issues and hopefully underpinned it with useful data. The main grassland community still shows an interesting list of positive MG4 indicator species and indeed some part of the site display a species rich sward. Other parts of the site though suffer from the water logging and the high nutrient levels and this reflects in the plant community with a seasonal shift between an MG4c and MG15b community, both being at the higher end of both the water and fertility spectrum. Management recommendations have been made to address both issues and hopefully help the site to recover towards a species rich floodplain meadow.

    NRA Thames 252 RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT May 1991 NRA National Rii'ers Authority Thames Region U lJ \ T lW ltS RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT MAY 1991 prepared by The National Rivers Authority Thames Region with the assistance of Land Use Consultants Flynn and Kothweii Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust Essex Wildlife Trust Lee Donaldson Associates ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 123198 A VISION FOR THE RIVER STORT CATCHMENT The river corridors of ihe Stort Catchment are a valuable natural resource, comprising sensitive ecological habitats, a landscape of considerable diversity and value, and areas which are popular for informal recreation. The Stort Navigation is of particular historical significance and its characteristics make it unique in the Thames Region. The objective of the NRA TR is to conserve and, wherever possible, enhance the value of this resource. This will be achieved through appropriate direct management of the water environment, including the provision of appropriate standards of urban flood protection, and partnership with the riparian local authorities, British Waterways Board and other interested organisations. A central part of this objective is to secure the designation of the corridor of the Lower Stort Valley and the Stort Navigation as a ’Special Heritage Area* in the statutory development plans. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aim of the Catchment Management Plan Under the 1989 Water Act the National Rivers Authority (NRA) is required to conserve and enhance the water environment. Such an important role requires a multi-disciplinary approach; catchment management planning seeks to provide a multi-disciplinary strategy for each catchment.

  • Harlow District Council Local Wildlife Site Review
    HARLOW DISTRICT COUNCIL LOCAL WILDLIFE SITE REVIEW 2010 FINAL March 2011 EECOS Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough, Colchester, Essex, CO5 7RZ 01621 862986, [email protected] Company Registered No. 2853947 VAT Registered No. 945 7459 77 IMPORTANT NOTES Nomenclature The terms "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation" (SINC), “Wildlife Sites” and “County Wildlife Site” (CoWS) used in previous reports are here replaced by the currently generally accepted term of “Local Wildlife Site” (LoWS). The term should be viewed in a national context, with “Local” referring to county level significance. Rationale It is hoped that this identification of Local Wildlife Sites is not seen as a hindrance to the livelihood of those landowners affected, or an attempt to blindly influence the management of such sites. It is an attempt to describe the wildlife resource we have in the county as a whole, which has been preserved thus far as a result of the management by landowners. The Essex Wildlife Trust and the Local and Unitary Authorities of Essex hope to be able to help landowners retain and enhance this biodiversity for the future. In recent years, the existence of a Local Wildlife Site on a farm has been seen as an advantage when applying for grant-aid from agri-environment schemes, with such grants favouring areas with a proven nature conservation interest. Public Access Identification as a Local Wildlife Site within this report does not confer any right of public access to the site, above and beyond any Public Rights of Way that may exist. The vast majority of the Sites in the county are in private ownership and this should be respected at all times.
