INTRODUCTION 1.1 We would like to get your views on future development and planning of Thurrock to 2021. A new system of “Spatial Planning” has been introduced that goes beyond traditional land-use planning and seeks to integrate the various uses of land with the various activities that people use land for. The new spatial plans must involve wider community consultation and involvement and be based on principles of sustainable development. 1.2 The main over-arching document within the LDF portfolio is the Core Strategy. This sets out the vision, objectives and strategy for the development of the whole area of the borough. The Site Specific Allocations and Policies is very important as it underpins the delivery of the Core Strategy. It enables the public to be consulted on the various specific site proposals that will guide development in accordance with the Core Strategy. 1.3 Many policies in the plans will be implemented through the day-to-day control of development through consideration of planning applications. This document also looks at the range of such Development Control policies that might be needed.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Introduction Lying at the centre of the Thames Gateway, Thurrock is a key growth area that is set to undergo significant change. The next 15 years will see large numbers of additional houses plus development for employment. The protection and enhancement of those elements of the environment which give Thurrock its positive identity, including its ecological character, will be a critical aspect of the Greengrid and will influence the views of those who live and work in the area, as well as those passing through or considering investing.

  • The Essex Field Club
    THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB HEADQUARTERS: THE PASSMORE EDWARDS MUSEUM, ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 12 December 1994 ESSEX FIELD CLUB EPPING FOREST MUSEUM AND TAXONOMIC WORKSHOP At its meeting on the 14th November the City of London Epping Forest & Open Spaces Committee expressed a very strong interest in becoming involved in the most effective way in safeguarding the Field Club's former collections. How best to be involved has still to be decided, and no specific decision has yet been made. The committee has however asked to be provided with costs of various opions and will meet to consider the matter further on January 6th. If by one means or another a new museum comes about, it would become the Club's new headquarters and we hope it would provide a wide range of facilities for its members, including a meeting room/taxonomic workshop. To equip this workshop the club is planning to apply for a separate grant, and we need the advice of members, and especially our recorders, to compile the shopping list. It is our intention that the workshop facilities will also be available to associated learned natural history societies, and again we would like to hear from any societies in the London/Essex area who would be interested in participating. The proposed workshop facilities fall into three categories. We would like to acquire as complete a set as we can of the latest identification guides to relevant groups of organisms in the county. To do this effectively would mean for example buying well over £3000 worth of modern mycological monographs and regional European fungus floras.

  • Planning Consultation: Brentwood Draft Local Plan: Preferred Site Allocations
    Date: 16 April 2018 Our ref: 240640 Your ref: Brentwood LP Site Allocations [email protected] ; [email protected] BY EMAIL ONLY Dear Sir/Madam Planning consultation: Brentwood Draft Local Plan: Preferred Site Allocations Thank you for your consultation on the above which was received by Natural England on 06 March 2018. Natural England is a non-departmental public body. Our statutory purpose is to ensure that the natural environment is conserved, enhanced, and managed for the benefit of present and future generations, thereby contributing to sustainable development. FURTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED Brentwood Draft Local Plan: Preferred Site Allocations As a general principle, allocations should be sited on land of least environmental and amenity value. In particular, they should avoid: designated sites/priority habitats Best and Most Versatile (BMV) agricultural land areas at risk of flooding brownfield sites of high environmental value. There are 3 SSSIs within Brentwood District, namely Thorndon Park SSSI, The Coppice, Kelvedon Hatch SSSI and Curtismill Green SSSI. We have looked the allocations in relation to these SSSIs. Part 2 Preferred Site Allocations There are no allocations directly within or adjacent to SSSIs but the following allocations are within Natural England Impact Risk Zones (IRZs) for residential and/or rural residential development: 81, 117A, 117B, 112A, 112D, 112E, 194, 075B. This means that we would like to be consulted further to ensure that any impacts have been taken into account and mitigation provided if required. It does not mean that we have an outright objection to these allocations. We have a more detailed comment to make on Dunton Hills Garden Village (site ref: 200) as follows: We have no ‘in principle’ objection to this allocation but we advise that certain mitigation measures will be required to avoid significant adverse impacts to designated sites.
