The Panel will need to review those schemes within the Rolling Programme and agree those for inclusion for delivery in 2018/19 Members are reminded that the costs supplied are estimates only and there is the possibility that a final scheme cost could change significantly dependant on issues which may arise especially during detailed design and construction. The estimated scheme costs on both the Rolling Programme and the Potential Scheme List have been reviewed and adjusted as necessary to reflect this. Additionally at this stage, we have not been notified of the Safer Roads schemes that will need to be progressed within the District in 2018/19. Our Safer Roads team are currently preparing their 2018/19 programme with a view to finalising it by the end of January 2018.

In addition there had been a build up of litter and junk that made most users walk the private roadway to the first stile along the route rather than “risk” the public footpath. This footpath used to be the start of the cross country route past the old clinker beds to Theydon Garnon Church until the “Old Foresters” pavilion and the new road were built in the mid seventies. Nevertheless it is clearly marked and documented on the Definitive Footpath map of the Parish produced two years ago by Essex County Council which in itself constitutes a legal document. (A copy of which is held and can be seen in the Parish Office.) In order to encourage the public to use the route more we formed a working party of volunteers who over the course of three Saturday afternoons in March and April began to clear the rubbish.

  • Proposed Agricultural Barn at Blunts Farm, Coopersale Lane, Theydon Bois, Epping, Essex, Cm16 7Nt Planning Statement
    PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL BARN AT BLUNTS FARM, COOPERSALE LANE, THEYDON BOIS, EPPING, ESSEX, CM16 7NT PLANNING STATEMENT Background Blunts Farm, Coopersale Lane, Theydon Bois extends to 11.7 hectares (29 acres) which has been owned by the applicant, Mrs June Axon for over 35 years. The land is currently down to grass for the production of hay. The site was used for the production of wheat until a couple of years ago and is eligible for single farm payment. Existing buildings on the site are unsuitable for modern day agriculture due to location within the yard and condition. Proposal It is proposed to erect an 18.3 metre x 9.1 metre building adjacent to the boundary to the north east of the site to the rear of existing buildings. The building will be an open fronted agricultural building for the storage of hay with a lockable bay for the secure storage of machinery and equipment. It will be a typical agricultural building constructed from box profile steel sheeting with a fibre cement roof. The proposed building is modest in size and has been located so as not to intrude on the Green Belt. Agricultural buildings are considered appropriate development within the Green Belt. Planning Policy National planning policy is contained within the NPPF as follows:- Paragraph 28 – Supporting a Prosperous Rural Economy “Planning policies should support economic growth in rural areas in order to create jobs and prosperity by taking a positive approach to sustainable new development. To promote a strong rural economy, local and neighbourhood plans should: Support the sustainable growth and expansion of all types of business and enterprise in rural areas, both through conversion of existing buildings and well designed new buildings; Promote the development and diversification of agricultural and other land based rural businesses…….” Paragraph 89 – Green Belt A local planning authority should regard the constriction of new buildings as inappropriate in Green Belt.

  • Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Study
    EB900 Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project 2015 i EB900 Acknowledgements Thanks go to Adele Niinemae, Hassan Ahmed, Maria Kitts and Chris Neilan at Epping Forest Council for help in compiling this report. The Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project report was prepared by the Historic Environment specialists of Place Services, a traded arm of Essex County Council. The project team comprised Nigel Brown, Richard Havis, Maria Medlycott, Alison Bennett, Teresa O’Connor and Helen Saunders. How to use this report and maps The project report looks at: a) How the historic environment of Epping Forest District developed from about 500,000 years ago to the present day. b) Broad historic environment character areas drawing together information on the historic landscape character, archaeological character, and historic urban character. c) More detailed character zones, with more information on the character of these zones including the diversity of historic environment assets, their survival and documentation, group value association, potential and sensitivity to change, and amenity value. The individual character zones summarise the information listed on the Essex Historic Environment Record. Obviously they show what is known at a point in time, and it should be remembered that new features are being identified and added to the Record all of the time. This report will be useful to developers, planners and interested members of the public and schools. To learn more about any of the historic environment assets and the potential use of the zones etc., you are advised to contact Place Services Historic Environment specialists for guidance. Contact details are on the last page of this report.
