3.0 THORNWOOD COMMON FRINGES 3.1 Overview 3.2 Visual 3.0 THORNWOOD COMMON FRINGES 3.1 Overview 3.1.1 Thornwood Common is situated to the northeast of Epping, north of Coopersale and west of North Weald Bassett. The settlement is predominantly situated within Epping Green Farmland Plateau Landscape Character Area (C9), with the southern edge of the village within North Weald Ridges and Valleys Landscape Character Area (F5). 3.1.2 The western landscape setting of Thornwood encompasses a patchwork of small, medium and large-scale fields that are lined with hedgerows. To the north of the settlement, mature field trees are also a feature. Similarly, medium to large-scale arable fields line the eastern edge of the settlement. To the east, however, the corridor of the M11 motorway introduces a source of noise and movement. 3.1.3 At the southern edge of the village, dense, mature woodland within the Lower Forest provides a strong sense of enclosure and also provides physical and visual separation from the settlements of Coopersale and Epping to the south. 3.2 Visual Character 3.2.1 The analysis of key visual characteristics and attributes that contribute to variations in the overall character of the landscape within the fringes of Thornwood Common are illustrated on Figure 3.1 and described in summary below: The majority of the settlement edges are lined with mature hedgerows, trees or large blocks of woodland, which create soft, green edges; There is a small patch of harsh urban edge at the northern edge of the settlement where low or gappy hedgerows within the back gardens allow short distance views of housing along the edge; There are five urban gateways within the linear settlement of Thornwood Common which mark the transition between village and predominantly rural landscape; The main road running north-south through the settlement is the B1393 which connects to the town of Epping to the south and the junction with the A414 and M11 to the north; There are several Public Rights of Way within the western landscape fringe of the settlement which connect with Epping to the south and Harlow to the north; and Short distance views of the settlement edge are restricted due to mature hedgerows and trees surrounding the settlement.

The weighting between constraints reflects the statutory (critical) and non-statutory (less status of individual environmental designations: Critical Constraints To the south of the settlement, the Lower Forest is a designated SSSI and is also Ancient Woodland; To the east of the village, there is a moated site which is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument; The course of a stream corridor (which is a tributary of Cripsey Brook to the north) that runs across the southern edge of the settlement is within the floodplain. Moderate Constraints At the southwestern edge of the village there is a Local Nature Reserve.

Elsewhere within other areas of the settlement fringe smaller blocks of woodland contribute to a varied sense of enclosure; There are a few veteran trees scattered within the fringes of the settlement, which are key landscape and historic features; A network of Public Rights of Way are situated within the western fringes of the village which form sensitive recreational routes for pedestrians and cyclists; and There is a floodplain situated within the eastern fringes of the settlement, following a tributary of Cripsey Brook. Sensitivity of Landscape Setting Areas 3.5.2 Taking into account the above, the sensitivity of each Landscape Setting Area is evaluated as follows, based on the criteria set out in Section 1.5.3: Landscape Landscape Character Sensitivity Visual Sensitivity Overall Setting Sensitivity Area to change Representation Number of Overall Intervisibility Visual Overall of typical sensitive Landscape Prominence Visual character natural, Character Sensitivity cultural Sensitivity and historic features 1 Moderate 2 Moderate 3 High March 2012 31 Epping Forest District Settlement Edge Landscape Sensitivity Study 11110602 LSS Final Report_V2_11-01-10.doc Chris Blandford Associates PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com 3.6 Key Opportunities for Growth 3.6.1 Drawing on the above analysis, those Landscape Setting Areas identified as high or moderate overall sensitivity are considered desirable to safeguard in landscape terms and are considered to have a significant role in contributing to the structure, character and setting of the settlement. Landscape Setting Areas that have been identified as low sensitivity may be suitable for development in landscape terms and are considered to have a less significant role in contributing to the structure, character and setting of the settlement. Further assessment work would, however, be needed to examine site-specific landscape and visual sensitivities. 3.7 Contribution to Green Belt 3.7.1 In line with methodology set out within Section 1.5.27, an evaluation of the contribution that the landscape setting of Thornwood makes to the purposes of including land within the Green Belt (PPG2: Paragraph 1.5) is set out within the table below: March 2012 32 Epping Forest District Settlement Edge Landscape Sensitivity Study 11110602 LSS Final Report_V2_11-01-10.doc Chris Blandford Associates PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com om c . y r o t c a ff pd . www on i s r e v l a ri t o r P y r o t c a F f pd h t i w ed t ea r c F D P Not Moderate Moderate Major Moderate applicable Not Moderate Moderate Major Moderate applicable Not Major Major Major Major applicable ed ed it m i L ed ed it m i L ed ed it m i L PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com Contribution to Green Belt Objectives 3.7.2 In relation to Paragraph 1.6 of PPG2, the landscape setting to Thornwood is considered to play a role in fulfilling the following objectives: To provide opportunities for access to the open countryside for the urban population: A number of key pedestrian routes cross the landscape, connecting the settlements with adjacent landscapes; To secure nature conservation interest: To the south of the village, woodland within Epping Forest is a designated SSSI and is also Ancient Woodland; To retain land in agricultural, forestry and related uses: Most of the land within the landscape setting of the settlements is under one of these uses.

They agreed that some young people were taking drugs and that drugs were easily accessible locally, online and in schools. There was concern about the misuse of nitrous 1 oxide (NO2) and the effect it had on the community and environment. Nitrous oxide gas canisters are easily purchased online and although illegal for under 18s to purchase, no proof of age checks are required for online shopping. The drugs project included a pupil survey, drug awareness poster campaign and a clean-up day. 1 3 Nitrous oxide is also referred to as NO2, balloons, laughing gas and as a ‘legal high’. 3 Background To set the scene, the threat posed by the misuse of psychoactive substances2 has forced the government to launch a ban on these substances under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.

Flawed / Absent Local Plan site selection process to-date: Pickfield Nursery was submitted to EFDC in response to the Call for Sites consultation in 2008 and has subsequently been promoted through the current Local Plan process since its inception in 2012. EFDC’s July 2012 SLAA referred to Pickfield Nursery as site SR-0161 but incorrectly identified it as a duplicate site with a much larger parcel (SLAA Reference SR-0020). Representations were then submitted in October 2012 highlighting this mistake. However, despite the submission of detailed representations and subsequent regular liaison with EFDC’s officers (including a positive formal pre-application meeting), EFDC’s Site Selection evidence base published in 2016 discounted Pickfield Nursery prior to Stage 1 of the selection process, once again incorrectly considering it as a duplicate site. Pickfield Nursery was finally acknowledged as an individual site in the Local Plan evidence base in the “Sites for consideration following Regulation 18 consultation” list published in July 2017. However, at the time of writing these representations (26th January 2018, one working day before the Pre-Submission consultation deadline) an assessment of these sites has still not been undertaken and Appendix C1 of the Report on Site Selection (December 2017) has not been completed.

The model simulates nitrogen and phosphorus processes in soils, groundwaters and river systems and can be applied in a semi-distributed manner at a range of scales. In this study, the model has been applied at field to sub-catchment to whole catchment scale to evaluate the behaviour of biosolid-derived losses of P in agricultural systems. It is shown that process-based models such as INCA, applied at a wide range of scales, reproduce field and catchment behaviour satisfactorily. The INCA model can also be used to generate generic information for risk assessment. By adjusting three key variables: biosolid application rates, the hydrological connectivity of the catchment and the initial P-status of the soils within the model, a matrix of P loss rates can be generated to evaluate the behaviour of the model and, hence, of the catchment system.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
