  • Flitch Green
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to FLITCH GREEN Location: 2 miles east of Great Dunmow. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL6620. Postcode: CM6 3FF. Access: B1417. National Cycle Route 16 (Flitch Way). Buses: 133 Stansted Airport – Braintree and 16 Chelmsford - Wethersfield County: Essex. District: Uttlesford. Population: 2,190 in 2011. Flitch Green is something of an anomaly among our Hundred Parishes. It is tiny and it is very new. In fact it is the smallest parish in area and the most recently constituted parish of the hundred – and without doubt quite different from any other. Established officially in only 2009, it has nothing of the history of its surrounding parishes, but whence it came and whither it goes is a rather intriguing question. Flitch Green started life as a housing development in 2000 in an area just half a mile south-east of the village of Little Dunmow in mid-Essex. An estate which came to be known as Oakwood Park, it was built on the site of a former sugar beet factory. The sugar beet industry developed as a result of shortages of sugar during the First World War, which awoke the nation to its need for its own domestic supply. A number of sugar beet processing factories were built in East Anglia during the 1920s, of which Felsted Sugar Beet Factory was one. Although not actually in the parish of Felsted, it took its name from the close proximity of the parish and large number of workers employed from that area. It opened in 1926 and was productive from the outset, reaching its peak of production in the mid-1960s.

  • Felsted Neighbourhood Plan
    FELSTED NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2033 Respecting our Heritage, Defining our Future Felsted Parish Council Referendum Version Felsted Neighbourhood Plan: Respecting our heritage, defining our future Felsted Neighbourhood Plan Foreword Welcome to the Felsted Neighbourhood Plan (the Plan). Work began on the Plan in July 2014 with the Parish Council’s support for the formation of a Steering Group (SG) and our first meeting. The Plan is based entirely on the many months of consultation, the hundreds of comments and submissions made by you, the members of the community, to the Steering Group through surveys, at meetings and presentations and on independent research commissioned by the Steering Group. The Plan also draws on the Felsted Parish Plan completed in 2012 including the historical context of the Parish, which remains unchanged. During the consultations, there has been a passionate desire to see our valued amenities, like a doctors’ surgery and dispensary, together with the village shop and Post Office, protected and improved. There have also been strong and well-articulated objections to still further housing development. However, simply saying ‘no’ to any housing development is not an option that was ever open to us or any community preparing a Neighbourhood Plan. In complying with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Uttlesford’s Local Plan, we were required to take a positive approach and to ‘contribute to the achievement of sustainable development’. The obligation on us as a Steering Group is to present a Neighbourhood Plan that provides for the development of no less housing than the UDC Local Plan allocates for Felsted.
