This profile is a snapshot, and is intended to support an understanding of Braintree District’s Ward characteristics. These Ward profiles represent the new Ward boundaries introduced in the Braintree District by the Electoral Commission from May 2015. This has meant that it has not been possible to directly source data from the 2011 Census for these new Wards, as they didn’t exist when the Census was completed. Data for the rural Wards has been produced by adding up the Census data at a Parish level to make up the new Ward areas. 4 If you have any questions regarding the content of this document please contact Tracey Headford in the Business Improvement Team at the below email address: [email protected] About Bumpstead Ward The Bumpstead Ward is a rural Ward located in the North West of the Braintree District and contains the Birdbrook, Helions Bumpstead, Steeple Bumpstead and Sturmer Parishes.

Whilst the National Planning Policy Framework July 2018 (NPPF) sets out the presumption in favour of sustainable development, planning law requires that applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The NPPF does not change the statutory status of the development plan as the starting point for decision making. The current adopted Braintree District Development Plan is made up of a number of documents, including the Local Plan Review 2005 and the Core Strategy 2011. See: https://www.braintree.gov.uk/info/200230/planning_policy/712/braintree_district_development_plan for further details. The Local Plan Review is available to view as an interactive document at: http://www.planvu.co.uk/bdc/plan_index.htm The relevant maps show the allocations for homes, employment, open space and other designations. Inset maps can be found for each town or village with a defined development boundary, within which development is generally acceptable subject to the policies in the Plan. Areas outside of the development boundaries are classified as countryside where development is restricted to uses appropriate to the countryside. The Pre Submission Site Allocations & Development Management Plan as amended by Further Changes (ADMP) was adopted at Full Council on 15th September 2014, as a material consideration in accordance with the Interim Planning Policy Statement. The ADMP also includes a Proposals Map and Inset Maps. The non-strategic sites and policies which are contained in the Pre Submission ADMP will be carried over into the new Local Plan unless new evidence or further changes in government policy require

  • 'The Last Survivor of an Ancient Race': the Changing Face of Essex Gleaning
    'The Last Survivor of an Ancient Race': The Changing Face of Essex Gleaning* By STEPHEN HUSSEY Abstract Past authors have identified the early twentieth century as the point at which gleaning finally vanished from the lives and labour of the rural working-class. This paper seeks to re-position this decline, placing its disappearance forward some forty or fifty years to the decades following the Second World War. However, gleaning did not simply continue unchanged into the twentieth century, as the customary practices that had once accompanied it now became obsolete. The paper examines the reasons for the continued use of gleanfing, its changed form, and places the decline of its customary practice within a wider context of changes occurring in rural popular culture at this time. ISHING tO capture what he It is as though there is no one in the world except believed to be the changing herself who gleans any longer.

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.
