A nil declaration was confirmed by Phil Cherry. Declarations declared by members of the Primary Care Commissioning Committee are listed in Mid and North East Essex CCG’s Registers of Interests. The Register is available via the secretary to the governing body of each CCG. Declarations of interest from sub committees N/A. Declarations of interest from today’s meeting 7 AD declared an interest in relation to the Beaulieu Park item as a member of the GP practice that holds the APMS contract for the nearby North Chelmsford Healthcare Centre. It was agreed that she would vacate the meeting when this item was discussed. 4 Questions from the Public Ms Maureen Hennessy, a member of the public, raised a number of queries about the Beaulieu Park development in relation to why the timelines were so short, whether the development process would satisfy procurement legislation, and whether there was still an opportunity to influence the design of the proposed healthcare facility. AC advised that the first two of these points would be addressed when this item was presented to the Committee. Commenting on the third of the above queries, MC advised that there were clearly defined requirements for the design of health buildings including the room sizes and the overall size of the building in relation to local population size. All new build designs were now very generic which meant that they could be multi- purpose in their use. Ms Hennessy asked whether the developer would pay for the build if the development fell under a section 106 agreement, in response to which MT advised that this was dependent upon the size of the development.

  • Survey of World War Two Defences in the Borough of Colchester
    SURVEY OF WORLD WAR TWO DEFENCES IN THE BOROUGH OF COLCHESTER SMR 20023: Standing high above the railway embankment north of Wakes Colne, this impressive, and unusual, pillbox is one of the hidden secrets of the Borough. Surrounded by trees and bushes, it has survived remarkably well. INTRODUCTION In 1993, Essex County Council began a project to locate and record the county's World War Two defence sites with the aim of providing an historical and archaeological database of the sites within the Essex Historic Environment Record (EHER). By 2004, 1,900 sites had been located, visited, photographed and recorded across the county. In the Borough of Colchester, 279 had been recorded, mostly along the Eastern Command Line, which bisected the Borough, and around Colchester itself. However, it was known that many more remained to be tracked down in the rural areas. These included a range of Home Guard defences, several of the enigmatic British Resistance sites and, importantly, the Borough's World War Two airfields and their outlying accommodation sites 1 In the latter part of 2004, with the interest and enthusiasm of Colchester Archaeological Group, the completion of the Borough became a possibility. This became reality when the group made a successful application to the Heritage Lottery Fund for grant funding through the Local Heritage Initiative scheme, and with a final funding element provided by Colchester Borough Council a joint endeavour to discover the remaining WWII sites, as a single World War Two Defences in Rural Colchester project, could begin. The Initiating Phase of the project began in April 2005 followed by the detailed research, location and surveying work over the following 22 months.
