  • The Essex Field Club
    THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB DEPARTMENT OF LIFE SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 16 February 1996 FROM THE PRESIDENT How would you describe the aims and activities of the present day Essex Field Club? When the Club first came into being it might not have been that inappropriate to regard its activities as encompassing ‘hunting, shooting and fishing’, the collection of dead voucher specimens of everything living in Essex being one of the Club’s primary objectives. Today however, our members would regard themselves as anything but, members of an organization that might be misconstrued as indulging in ‘field sports’ . Our Club is surely primarily a natural history society, with a present-day emphasis an recording, conservatian and natural history education. Your Council had a special meeting on the 31 January to look at the present and potential future role of the EFC in Essex, debating just how we could give the Club a new attractive image that would give us a steadily increasing membership, and how best we might interrelate to such organisations as the Essex Wildlife Trust, English Nature, the National Biological Records Centre and the local county natural history societies. Particularly in view of our proposed partnership in a new museum on Epping Forest. As a result of this meeting Council will be proposing at the next AGM that the Club should change its name to the ESSEX NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY, and redefine its objectives, and rules, in line with its modern image. We propose subtitling the new name with ‘formerly the Essex Field Club’ for a few years, and retention of our ‘speckled wood on blackberry leaf logo’ , to give us continuity.

Introduction 1.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires the Council to prepare a Local Development Scheme (LDS). This sets out the rolling programme for preparation of planning documents that together will form Braintree District’s Development Plan. It identifies the key stages in the preparation of the Council’s Local Development Plan Documents. 1.2 It also sets out what resources will be required in order to ensure that the work will be completed in accordance with the timetable and identifies the risks that could result in delay. 1.3 The first LDS was published in September 2005 and the last review was published in May 2018. Progress on the Local Development Scheme has been monitored and the extent to which the milestones identified have been achieved is set out in the Council’s Annual Monitoring Reports. 1.4 The Braintree Local Development Scheme is therefore a project management document, which informs the public and stakeholders of the planning documents that the Council will produce and the timescale for their production. It includes; • A timetable for the production and adoption for all Development Plan Documents within the Local Development Scheme time period (3 years).

  • A Short History of Colchester Castle
    Colchester Borough Council Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service A SHORT HISTORY OF COLCHESTER CASTLE 1066, the defeat of the English by the invading army of Duke William of Normandy. After his victory at the Battle of Hastings, William strengthened his hold on the defeated English by ordering castles to be built throughout the country. Colchester was chosen for its port and its important military position controlling the southern access to East Anglia. In 1076 work began on Colchester Castle, the first royal stone castle to be built by William in England. The castle was built around the ruins of the colossal Temple of Claudius using the Roman temple vaults as its base, parts of which can be seen to this day. As a result the castle is the largest ever built by the Normans. It was constructed mainly of building material from Colchester's Roman ruins with some imported stone. Most of the red brick in the castle was taken from Roman buildings. England, William's newly won possession, was soon under threat from another invader, King Cnut of Denmark. The castle had only been built to first floor level when it had to be hastily strengthened with battlements. The invasion never came and work resumed on the castle which was finally completed to three or four storeys in 1125. The castle came under attack in 1216 when it was besieged for three months and eventually captured by King John after he broke his agreement with the rebellious nobles (Magna Carta). By 1350, however, its military importance had declined and the building was mainly used as a prison.

  • Local Plan Committee 9 16 December 2014
    Item Local Plan Committee 9 16 December 2014 Report of Head of Commercial Services Author Chris Downes 01206 282476 Title Annual Monitoring Report Wards All affected The Local Plan Committee is asked to approve the Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) 1. Decision(s) Required 1.1 To approve the 2013-14 Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) for publication on the Council’s website. 2. Reasons for Decision(s) 2.1 Until the Localism Act came into effect in April 2012, Section 35 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act required that every local planning authority (LPA) should prepare and publicise an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) containing information on the implementation of the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and the extent to which the policies set out in Local Development Documents (LDDs) and local plans are being achieved. The Localism Act removed the requirement for local authorities to submit their AMR to Government, but retained a duty for local authorities to monitor policies. The Council accordingly still needs to demonstrate the effects of its policies, and the format developed for previous AMRs is considered to remain appropriate for this purpose. 3. Alternative Options 3.1 There are no alternatives as the Council needs to provide an annual source of information on the delivery of its planning functions. 4. Supporting Information 4.1 The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) provides key information that helps the Borough Council and its partners establish what is happening now within Colchester Borough, what may happen in the future and compare these trends against existing planning policies and targets to determine if any action needs to be taken.

  • Media Release
    Media Release 17 March 2020 Discussion events about mid and south Essex CCGs’ future cancelled Following the Government’s latest guidance, the five NHS clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in mid and south Essex have taken the decision to cancel public events where they had hoped to discuss the future of local NHS planning with residents. A spokesperson for the five CCGs said: “Our overriding priority is, as it has always been, the safety of people living in our area. We are very sorry that we cannot offer people in Braintree and Maldon a chance to share their views and ask questions face-to-face as we had hoped. We really would still like local people’s input on the plans, and there are ways you can do this online.” The NHS Long Term Plan sets out a timeline for a single organisation to be planning and buying NHS care across larger areas. The CCG had arranged three events in the south of the county and three more in the local authority areas of mid Essex where residents could have their say about proposals for a possible merger between the five organisations. Two of the events, for south east Essex and Chelmsford residents, have already been held, but all those yet to happen have been cancelled to support residents’ “social distancing”. Events now cancelled were due to be held in: • Grays and Thurrock this evening • Braintree District this Thursday (17 March) • Pitsea, Basildon and Brentwood next Monday (23 March) • Maldon District next Wednesday (25 March). In light of the current situation surrounding Covid-19 (novel coronavirus), the two drop-in events will not now go ahead.
