Microsoft Outlook From: Andrew Blackwell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 May 2015 08:56 To: John Pearce Subject: RE: Roding Lane South John Thank you for confirming this. As you may know, we represent a client who has a private ,enclosed area of land that is need of ground restoration given its previous history of unmanaged tipping and the substantial extent of Japanese Knotweed. Because it is naturally contained by a high bank against the River Roding, we maintain this is one site where the Green Belt can be rolled back ,without compromise to the essential NPPF tests. If development is linked to fresh public open space and wildlife enhancement within the site (and along the River Roding) we see an exciting community gain as well as scope for further new homes. A dialogue with David was progressing which we are keen to maintain so all features of our ideas are fully appreciated within the Council. This is particularly so as I am aware there is a Neighbourhood Services Committee on the 3/6 to consider possible Green Belt revisions. We would be receptive to any opportunity to briefly present our ideas and welcome the chance to meet you if it is possible. I look forward to your reply.

  • Wanstead Park Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Wanstead Park walk Parkland of a former country estate Start Wanstead underground station. Finish Wanstead underground station. Length 6 km. Time 1 1/2 hours Travel Wanstead is a station on the Hainault loop of the Central Line in Zone 4. Travel time from Oxford Circus is 27 minutes, and from Liverpool Street 17 minutes. Walk Leafy stroll in the Borough of Redbridge through the Grade II* listed historic landscaped parkland of Wanstead Park, Notes once home to the Palladian mansion of Wanstead House, compared at the time to Blenheim Palace. Today only two smaller structures, The Grotto and The Temple, remain (and the House itself stood on what is now a golf course), but nevertheless the present smaller park retains some of the layout of Wanstead House’s grounds, especially its many ponds, and provides a perfect venue for relaxing and escaping the urban sprawl, with its plentiful water features and varied woods. Eat/Drink Plenty of options near the station, see text below for details. History Wanstead Park was originally the site of a medieval manor house and later a Tudor mansion, once owned by the Earl of Leicester. In 1667, a wealthy merchant, Sir Josiah Child, bought the house and estate. He started to landscape the gardens and his son Richard, later Earl Tylney, continued the work. The old house (Wanstead Hall) was demolished and replaced by a mansion in the Palladian style in 1715, reputedly costing £360,000, and often being compared to Blenheim Palace. The well-known garden designer, Humphry Repton, who later worked on the grounds, called the finished house and gardens "one of the most magnificent places in this country".

  • Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Study
    EB900 Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project 2015 i EB900 Acknowledgements Thanks go to Adele Niinemae, Hassan Ahmed, Maria Kitts and Chris Neilan at Epping Forest Council for help in compiling this report. The Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project report was prepared by the Historic Environment specialists of Place Services, a traded arm of Essex County Council. The project team comprised Nigel Brown, Richard Havis, Maria Medlycott, Alison Bennett, Teresa O’Connor and Helen Saunders. How to use this report and maps The project report looks at: a) How the historic environment of Epping Forest District developed from about 500,000 years ago to the present day. b) Broad historic environment character areas drawing together information on the historic landscape character, archaeological character, and historic urban character. c) More detailed character zones, with more information on the character of these zones including the diversity of historic environment assets, their survival and documentation, group value association, potential and sensitivity to change, and amenity value. The individual character zones summarise the information listed on the Essex Historic Environment Record. Obviously they show what is known at a point in time, and it should be remembered that new features are being identified and added to the Record all of the time. This report will be useful to developers, planners and interested members of the public and schools. To learn more about any of the historic environment assets and the potential use of the zones etc., you are advised to contact Place Services Historic Environment specialists for guidance. Contact details are on the last page of this report.

  • The River Roding Project
    The River Roding Project Project Background Aug 2020 We are working with London Borough of Redbridge to create a better place for people and wildlife that is more resilient to the impacts of flooding and climate change. We want to tackle both the climate and biodiversity emergencies head on. This project will help achieve our new EA2025 strategies three main goals; • a nation resilient to climate change • healthy air, land and water • green growth and a sustainable future. We will build a flood storage area to hold back high flows upstream in rural Essex and improve existing river defences in Woodford. We are also exploring how we can improve the River Roding corridor in Woodford and Ilford, including riverside landscaping and re-naturalising the river. We want the community to reconnect with nature and improve the access to the river corridor to make it a better green space to enjoy. New Delivery Partners: The Environment Agency has entered a new Collaborative Delivery Framework for all capital flood schemes across England over the next 4 years. We are pleased to announce in March we awarded contracts to our new delivery partners Jacobs and BAM Nuttall. Transferring to the new framework did take longer than expected however the programme of works is now underway. Jacobs are progressing the designs from Outline Design to Detail Design. This will include finalising the plans of the flood storage area and defence refurbishments. They will also support our application for planning permission and the necessary licenses needed to build the project. BAM Nuttall are our contractors, who will build the project.

  • Industrial Market Study - North Weald Airfield
    Local Plan Representations January 2018 APPENDIX A JLL MARKET REPORT ON LOGISTICS January 2018 1 Industrial Market Study - North Weald Airfield Final Report prepared for Paragon North Weald 12 December 2016 North Weald Airfield Contents Executive Summary I Introduction 2 Corporate demand for industrial and distribution property 3 Market supply 4 Market potential of land at North Weald Airfield 5 Conclusions COPYRIGHT © JONES LANG LASALLE IP, INC. 2016. All Rights Reserved 2 North Weald Airfield Executive Summary • Each year a huge volume of industrial and distribution floorspace is taken up for occupation by companies across Britain and in the wider South East, a testament to the continuing need for this type of space despite our service-oriented economy. • Businesses require light industrial, general industrial and distribution warehouse facilities for a wide range of purposes. Over the past 25 to 30 years the main area of growth within the industrial market has been for distribution warehouse buildings, and there has been a clear trend over time for these buildings to get bigger. These buildings and the logistics activities undertaken in, and associated with, them play vital roles in modern supply chains and make a major contribution to the UK economy in terms of Gross Value Added (GVA), employment and supporting the functioning of other economic activities. • Independent research and JLL’s data highlight that the demand for industrial and distribution floorspace is currently robust and we believe there are strong drivers of demand supporting continuing growth for large-scale distribution warehouse facilities especially. • However, there is limited building supply and land available in the market to accommodate this demand, particularly along key motorway corridors such as the M11.

  • 19LAD0061 Mr. Jim Padfield
    INSPECTOR’S MATTERS, ISSUES & QUESTIONS Week One Response from Jim Padfield. Matter 4 Issue 2 Question 4 Is it justified for North Weald Bassett (NWB) as a Large Village to be allocated more development than the Towns of Loughton, Waltham Abbey and Ongar? More generally, would the proposed growth of NWB be disproportionate, particularly when development at nearby Thornwood and Hastingwood is taken into account? The town of Ongar has been allocated 590 dwellings and the village of North Weald 1,051 dwellings. The housing allocation in Ongar spread over to 2033 represents little more than a continuation of the recent growth in the Town. Ongar is a Town with a new secondary School, two primary schools, a range of shops, it is served by both Sainsburys and Tescos, a library, numerous pubs and restaurants, a national builders merchant, a leisure centre, a new medical centre and a thriving professional community. Historically Ongar has been the centre for a wide rural catchment, indeed the Ongar Hundred was one of 19 Essex Anglo Saxon administrative centres covering 57,000 acres. This is still true today with over 12,000 people registered at the new health centre. There are good employment opportunities, within Ongar’s rural catchment the restructuring of Agriculture has led to a resurgence of small businesses working from redundant farm buildings. Ongar, particularly south Ongar, is a centre which could, with suitable public transport links, take advantage of the new fast Elizabeth Line into London thereby relieving pressure on the Central Line at Epping. The EFDC Town Centre Study found that Ongar is sustainable, 46% of residents walked into the centre to do their shopping the highest percentage in the District.
