Much of the previous guidance, and most of the higher level plans have been abolished, with a requirement that district councils now take responsibility for planning for their own areas. Local Plans have been in place for the area covered by Epping Forest District since the 1980s, and have performed well in protecting the Green Belt and directing necessary development to the right places. We now find ourselves in a position where the land available for development within our existing towns and villages is running out, yet national planning policy requires that we make necessary provision for new houses and jobs. We therefore need to adopt a new Local Plan for the district which makes such provision. If we do not make some planned provision for new growth we will be in a much weaker position to protect the rest of the Green Belt. As part of this process we will also be looking at the infrastructure that is already planned, and what should be provided to support new development. It is important to stress that this document is not a policy document. It does not replace the existing Local Plan at this stage. We are presenting what we think are all of the current planning issues and potential options, and seeking your views on these. This is your opportunity to get involved and help shape the future of Epping Forest District – this really is all about “Community Choices”. We realise that holding a significant consultation period during this summer, whilst so many other events are being held, is not ideal. We are therefore allowing a longer consultation period, from 6 weeks which is the statutory minimum, to just over 11 weeks. Changes to national policy mean that the existing Local Plan ceases to be in effect from April 2013. We must therefore work quickly to ensure that we can protect the district from inappropriate development.

  • © Georgina Green ~ Epping Forest Though the Ages
    © Georgina Green ~ Epping Forest though the Ages Epping Forest Preface On 6th May 1882 Queen Victoria visited High Beach where she declared through the Ages "it gives me the greatest satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful Forest to the use and enjoyment of my people for all time" . This royal visit was greeted with great enthusiasm by the thousands of people who came to see their by Queen when she passed by, as their forefathers had done for other sovereigns down through the ages . Georgina Green My purpose in writing this little book is to tell how the ordinary people have used Epping Fo rest in the past, but came to enjoy it only in more recent times. I hope to give the reader a glimpse of what life was like for those who have lived here throughout the ages and how, by using the Forest, they have physically changed it over the centuries. The Romans, Saxons and Normans have each played their part, while the Forest we know today is one of the few surviving examples of Medieval woodland management. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers frequently visited the Forest, wh ile in the 18th century the grandeur of Wanstead House attracted sight-seers from far and wide. The common people, meanwhile, were mostly poor farm labourers who were glad of the free produce they could obtain from the Forest. None of the Forest ponds are natural . some of them having been made accidentally when sand and gravel were extracted . while others were made by Man for a variety of reasons.

    Epping Forest District Council Representations to the Draft Local Plan Consultation 2016 (Regulation 18) Stakeholder ID 4806 Name Bruce Banks Fairfield Fairbank Residents Association (FFRA) Method Survey Date This document has been created using information from the Council’s database of responses to the Draft Local Plan Consultation 2016. Some elements of the full response such as formatting and images may not appear accurately. Should you wish to review the original response, please contact the Planning Policy team: [email protected] Survey Response: 1. Do you agree with the overall vision that the Draft Plan sets out for Epping Forest District? Strongly disagree Please explain your choice in Question 1: These plans for Chipping Ongar will decimate this historical town. As for the Greensted Road proposed development we can't understand why the historical Parish of Greensted is sited for proposed development for the following reasons: 1. Parish of the oldest wooden church in the world. How long will it take until we have takeaways next to the church? 2. This parish needs to be preserved for generations to come. 3. Fairfield Road supports approx. 180 homes, it can't take another 160. 4. Greensted Road has no clear point of entry for this development, this would be an accident waiting to happen. 5. We as land owners were NEVER asked if we wanted houses built in our gardens! 2. Do you agree with the overall vision that the Draft Plan sets out for Epping Forest District? Strongly disagree Please explain your choice in Question 2: SR-3090 Greensted Road development is Green Belt.

This paper attempts to show that the true spirit of Nordic light- ing is to be found in the original medieval church. In winter, a mys- tic quality in the interior, associated with ritual, is achieved when the “weak light is split by roof work and sinks like a dim atmo- sphere into the room”.

  • 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.

A dispute between them and another tribe was an excuse for Roman invasion. AD43 Colchester became the capital of Roman Britain, which Boudica in AD60 destroyed in her revolt. AD527The name Essex derives from the Kingdom of the East Seaxe or Kingdom of Essex which was traditionally founded by Aescwine AD654 St Cedd built St peters on the wall church at Bradwell- on sea- using roman stones. It’s the oldest church in the county and the 19th oldest building in the country. AD991 The Battle of Maldon resulted in complete defeat of the Anglo-Saxons by the Vikings, and is commemorated in the poem ‘The Battle of Maldon’ 1060 The World’s oldest wooden church Greensted Church was built, however two earlier timber structures were found dating back to the 6th century. 1066 King Harold was buried in Waltham Abbey Church. He was the last Anglo-Saxon King and died in the Battle of Hastings fighting Norman invaders led by William the conqueror. 1137 Cressing Temple was given to the Knights Templar which built in the 13th century is now one of the few surviving Templar buildings in England.
