We are pleased to announce that our next Community Matters Breakfast Meeting will be held on Wednesday, 20th March, 2019. The focus of this meeting will be Learning Disabilities Support in Brentwood and we are pleased to announce that we have three speakers for this event. In this edition of the Newsletter our Group Focus is on Action For Family Carers which is found on page 5. This organisation provides essential support to carers who may be as young as 6 years old. Brentwood CVS has successfully held its first Senior’s Information and Coffee morning on Wednesday, 16th January, 2019. Brentwood CVS was supported by more than 20 local services. We gave free information, help and advice to the elderly people of West Horndon . From the positive feedback we received they found the morning to be very informative. Our next Senior’s Information and Coffee morning is to be held in Dod- dinghurst Village Hall, Doddinghurst on Friday 22nd February, 2019 (please see page 6 for details). The latest Fit for Funding workshop was held on Wednesday 23rd January, 2019. These workshops have been well received and at- tended. The next Workshop will be held on Wednesday, 6th March. (please see page 7 or visit Brentwood CVS’s website for further details). Please don’t forget to look at the funding opportunities on pages 27 & 28. There have been some changes at the helm of Brentwood CVS and it is with sadness that at the end of December we said goodbye to our Direc- tor John Fry. John had held the position of Director for over 9 years. However, we are very pleased to announce that Diane Fairchild (who many of you will know and have had contact with as she also has worked for the CVS for also for 9 years) will be stepping into John’s shoes ensur- ing things will continue to run smoothly.

The speakers are very varied in subject matter and presentation style but all are well-received by our audience. Two recent evenings have been particular highlights of the season. David Lindo visits Writtle We were very pleased to welcome “Urban Birder” David Lindo as guest speaker at our meeting on 12 November last year. Visitor numbers reached 146 so we removed the auditorium’s central division for the first time since moving our talks to Writtle College two years ago. Woolly-hatted David arrived in his vintage Rolls Royce, armed with lots of copies of his book, The Urban Birder, and snazzy tee-shirts that were for sale. He greeted me warmly with a big hug – an unexpected treat as we’d never met before! David focussed the first half of his talk on the background, his promotional efforts and the successful selection of Britain’s first national bird, the robin, including how he’d toured the streets with publicity material plastered all over his roller. Overtly passionate about birds and the importance of inspiring others, David was clearly very pleased with his campaigning achievements. ROBIN The second half followed David’s travels in Latvia, Northern Serbia and surrounding regions, and included interesting stories and lovely pictures. A memorable moment was when everyone let out a spontaneous gasp when shown a photo of long-eared owls roosting in a tree in a Serbian town square (in Kikinda) – dozens of them! What an amazing spectacle it must be to see hundreds of these beautiful birds perching together in an urban setting.

INTRODUCTION Brentwood Borough Council commissioned Essex County Council in December 2008 to prepare this conservation area appraisal and review. The research and field work were carried out in March 2009. The village of Great Warley was first designated as a conservation area by Brentwood Borough Council in 1975. It was therefore among the earlier conservation areas to be created, following the introduction of the new statutory designation in the Civic Amenities Act of 1967. Its boundaries were reviewed in 1993, following the designation of an additional conservation area at Warley Place. It has also been Metropolitan Green Belt since 1953. The surrounding countryside is a Special Landscape Area. 1.1. Planning policies Great Warley is one of thirteen conservation areas in the Borough of Brentwood.
