  • APPENDIX B Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) – Consultation Response
    APPENDIX B Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) – Consultation Response The consultation response from the Council in its capacity as a landowner pursuant to Section 42(1)(d) of the Planning Act 2008, that is being an owner, lessee, tenant or occupier of land. The Development is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), as defined by the Planning Act 2008 and Highways England is required to submit an application for a Development Consent Order (DCO). The consultation and the Council response is part of the DCO process. Having considered the impact of the Lower Thames Crossing (the Development) on the Council’s land titles it is considered that the proposed Development would have significant negative impacts on the grounds of which the Council objects to the Development as currently proposed. Existing Land Use The Council has to date received 46 Land Information Questionnaires (LIQ) from Highways England which following the internal review does not include all of the land titles affected by the Development. The internal review highlighted 212 land titles affected by the proposed Development (inclusive of the Part 1 claims). The affected land titles fall into various categories of general land use. The breakdown is as follows: 14 land titles used as agricultural land; 75 land titles used as highways land; 82 land titles used as residential land; 41 land titles used as other land (park, school and woodland). Further to the above the Development indicates the land needs to be acquired under the following conditions: permanent acquisition of land required; temporary use of land required; rights to land required for diversion of utilities.

  • Ebg Summer 2012 Newsletter
    Summer Newsletter2012 Dengie Peninsula Bat Survey Tim & Sarah Sapsford with a progress report on a new local bat project Introduction and objectives This is the first part of a larger bat survey of the Dengie peninsula that is being undertaken to learn more about bat distribution and quality of habitat for this area. The quality of the coast in terms of habitat for birds is well known. The Bradwell shell bank and Blue House Farm are two excellent examples. Mundon Dead Oaks Bat Transect However, away from the coast things are less clear. The Dengie peninsula is a relatively flat land mass that is characterised by mainly arable farmland, and it has been this way for many centuries. Bats are known to prefer woodland, water margins and linear corridor habitats. Woodland and water margins exist as very small fragments dispersed widely over the peninsula but linear corridors are in abundance. The object of the survey is to map the frequency index of bat species and to identify the number of species present and their distribution. Method The survey locality is approx 220km2(the complete boundary has not been defined as some coastal grid squares will not be used due to the skewing affect they may have on the data). At present a Magenta Bat 4 heterodyne detector is being used for the identification of bat calls. It is proposed that a time expansion or frequency division detector be purchased for the recording and analysing of the bat calls to aid in the accurate identification of species. At present all data is being recorded in a field note book and transferred to Excel.
