The relevant five year housing land supply period therefore covers the period between 1st April 2018 and 31st March 2023. 1.3 The information contained in this document is correct in respect of the time period it covers but due to the nature of housing supply and delivery it is considered to be a ‘live document’. It is therefore subject to change as and when new information is received which changes the housing supply and/or housing delivery position. 2. Local Context 2.1 Colchester Borough Council has an adopted Local Plan which consists of its Core Strategy (adopted in 2008 and subject to a Focused Review in 2014), Site Allocations DPD (adopted 2010) and Development Policies DPD (adopted 2008 and reviewed 2014). The Tiptree Jam Factory Plan DPD (2013) also forms part of the development plan. In addition there are two adopted Neighbourhood Plans within Colchester Borough in the form of the Myland and Braiswick Neighbourhood Plan and Boxted Neighbourhood Plan, both of which were adopted in 2016.

All references to the county of Essex are to Essex as it is currently constituted i.e. without the unitary authorities of Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock. All references to ‘Colchester’ refer to Colchester Borough unless stated otherwise, e.g. Colchester town. 1. INTRODUCTION Background to the Report 1.1 This Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) contains information about the extent to which the Council’s planning policy objectives are being achieved. The report covers the period from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016. Introduction 1.2 The Localism Act removed the requirement for local planning authorities to produce an annual monitoring report for Government, but it did retain an overall duty to monitor planning policies. Authorities can now choose which targets and indicators to include in their monitoring reports as long as they are in line with the relevant UK and EU legislation. Their primary purpose is to share the performance and achievements of the Council’s planning service with the local community. The monitoring report also needs to demonstrate how councils are meeting the requirement to cooperate with other authorities on strategic issues. The format of this AMR accordingly was revised and shortened last year to reflect the greater flexibility allowed for these reports and to present a more concise summary of key indicators.

Decision(s) Required 1.1 To recommend to Full Council that it makes (adopts) the Myland and Braiswick Neighbourhood Plan (attached as Appendix A), following its approval at examination and referendum. Once adopted, the Myland and Braiswick Neighbourhood Plan will become part of Colchester Borough Council’s Local Development Plan. 2. Reasons for Decision(s) 2.1 To ensure the Council’s planning policies provide a robust basis for decisions on future planning applications in the Borough. 3. Alternative Options 3.1 The alternative would be to recommend to Full Council that it does not adopt the Neighbourhood Plan. This alternative, however, would be contrary to the positive approach to Neighbourhood Plans found in the National Planning Policy Framework (Paras 184-185). 4. Supporting Information 4.1 On 28 January 2013, Colchester Borough Council designated the Myland and Braiswick Neighbourhood Plan Area for the purpose of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan (in accordance with Part Two of the Town and Country Planning (England), Neighbourhood Planning (General) regulations 2012). The plan area includes the whole of Myland Parish, an additional area of Braiswick and a small area which is now within Highwoods Ward (following the recent Boundary Review). 4.2 The Neighbourhood Plan Working Group comprising Myland Community Council councillors, Braiswick Residents Association representatives and resident representatives carried out development and consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan.

  • INNERVATE Leading Student Work in English Studies, Volume 7 (2014
    “Examine the value of place-names as evidence for the history, landscape and, especially, language(s) of your chosen area.” Introduction The corpus (see Appendix) contains forty historic parish names from north-east Essex. The area selected is coastal, bordering the sea to the east and south, and the county of Suffolk to the north. Within this small area, the entire language strata of English place-names are represented: British, Latin, Old English (OE), Old Norse (ON), Old French (OFr), and Middle English. The area contains a Roman settlement, is assumed to have been ceded to the Danish Kingdom of East Anglia by the Kingdom of Wessex, and indicates land ownership by Anglo-Norman aristocracy. As is the case for England as a whole, the majority of place-names are Old English in origin. This assignment will first look at the significance of non-English influences on the corpus, in chronological order, followed by an analysis of the Old English majority. British Influence The history of Essex during the early stages of Germanic migration is shrouded: Stenton notes that no East Saxon king was of more than local importance, but that an early occupation is evident in ‘place-names of primitive type’.1 The proximity of Essex to better documented Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and the dearth of British nomenclature in contrast to some areas in the west and north of England, supports the notion of early settlement by Germanic peoples. Indeed, Essex is firmly within ‘Area 1’ of Jackson’s map of Celtic zones, where few Celtic names have survived.2 As a likely result of this early Germanic migration, British nomenclature within the corpus is limited to one, possibly two, river-names.
