Monks Wood of Garden Communities and how they fit into the 21st Century Context. With the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) as strong advocates at the forefront of this 3. movement, many places have sought to appreciate how a modern interpretation of the original Garden City Principles might address the urgent need to increase the level of housing development in the UK. The intention of the Garden Communities 2. 4. Uttttlle s ffo rrd D iis ttrriictt programme is to provide high quality homes, new transport improvements, good 1. schools, jobs and community amenities to be delivered in a strategic and sustainable way. The four councils are in agreement that the TCPA’s Garden City PrinciplesT e n d rriin provideg D iis ttrriic tt a valuable initial framework for achieving new settlements that are inclusive and 5. provide genuinely affordable,C o llc h e s tt ewellrr B odesignedrro u g h C o uhomes,n c iill local jobs and schools, integrated transport systems, high standards of green infrastructure and promotion of health within and beyond the emerging local plan period for each authority of 2032/2033. In response the councils are exploring the potential to establish new settlements in the form of North Essex Garden Communities, for which broad search areas have been identified by the councils for further consideration. This is in the context of the duty placed under the Localism Act 2011 on neighbouring authorities to cooperate on key strategic cross boundary issues in the preparation of their local plans. As part of their investigation and analysis of the Garden Communities opportunity and its application and suitability to North Essex, the Councils commissioned AECOM to undertake a ‘Garden Communities Concept Feasibility Study’. This was presented N across four volumes and completed in June 2016.

The monitoring took place on the 19th- 21st November 2012. The site is situated within an area which contains evidence for probable prehistoric activity as indicated by cropmark features. For more information on the historical background of the area and details of archaeological finds recovered in the vicinity, see the Essex County Council brief (HEM 2012) and the Written Scheme of Investigation (CAT 2012), which are appended to this report. The archaeological monitoring covered the removal of topsoil from the area of the pond (approximately 3,000 m²; Fig 2). This was carried out using a mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless ditching bucket under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. The spoil generated during the excavation of the pond was deposited in a clearing in the woodland to the north-west (Fig 2). No ground was disturbed in the clearing.
