Ongar Town Council to Look at the Effects on Ongar of the Draft Local Plan and Make Recommendations Ongar Town Council Aimi Middlehurst Town Clerk PRESS RELEASE - 30.01.17 Working Party set up by Ongar Town Council to look at the effects on Ongar of the draft Local Plan and make recommendations. Ongar is fighting back against Epping Forest District’s Local Plan is for Ongar to lose its Swimming Pool and Leisure Centre altogether, to make way for new housing! It is also set to lose Green Belt land on the outskirts of the rural town for several large estates totalling 600 homes. According to Cllr Mary Dadd at Ongar Town Council ‘Planning, Environment and Public Relations Committee Meeting on Thursday 12th January 2017 “There are still a lot of frustrated Ongar residents about the Local Plan and the consultation process and whether their concerns will be heard, not least because of the inaccuracies in EFDC statements about our existing infrastructure and amenities, school places, traffic problems etc.” Cllr Dadd, who was co-opted on to Ongar Town Council in December to serve the Greensted Ward, called for Ongar Planning Committee to set up a working party to look into “Aspects of the EDFC Draft Local Plan 2016 [that] will affect the residents of Ongar Town Council’s wards, relating to Housing, Employment, Amenities, Traffic flow, Education, NHS and Social Services, Infrastructure, Tourism and other relevant service provision” and make recommendations for action as a matter of urgency. Epping Forest District Council intend to build approx. 700 new houses in Ongar and on the Fyfield Business park by 2026. This is in the region of 25% increase in houses within 10 years and would drastically change the character of the historic small town of Ongar, which is barely more than a village and a population in 2011 of just 6251 (ONS) and whose centre is a designated Conservation Area with numerous Listed Buildings and an Ancient Monument. There is no evidence that there is a need for this large number of houses for local people in Ongar. There is no rail link, so it is likely that the new homes will be for new people coming into the town, who will have to commute by car to work. That could add a further 1200 more cars in Ongar, further adding to the congestion problems and pollution in the town. Like other rural settlements in the Green Belt in Essex, Ongar residents are angry about building in the Metropolitan Green Belt, which was supposed to stop the sprawl of London, particularly when it is against the NPPF (National Planning Policy Framework) policies and the Government’s continued promises to protect the Green Belt. After the closure of the Consultation on the draft Local Plan just before Christmas, Ongar is not being complacent. The Planning, Environment and Public Relations Committee have set up a Working Party who will make reports directly to the Committee on a regular basis. In their first meeting on Monday 16th January the Working Party started prioritising the concerns already and gathering evidence so they can make a strong voice against changing the character of the historic Ongar to EFDC’s plan which is likely to result in a dormitory town with no swimming pool or leisure centre and large housing estates out of character in scale and density with Ongar’s rural settlement. They are concentrating initially on the plans to build on The Leisure Centre land and the large intended housing sites of NE of the Four Wantz, Bowes field and adjacent field and the Greensted Road site. 1 Ray Warren of Marden Ash, whose neighbour uses the Leisure centre several times a week, was concerned and told Cllr Dadd ”this would also mean the loss of parking for the Health Centre, which serves Ongar, Fyfield and the surrounding villages. The Health Centre is very important in the community. Many of us have to park at the Leisure Centre when visiting the Health Centre, because there are only a few spaces at the surgery itself. It is on a dangerous part of a main road. Where are the people in the new houses at Fyfield and Ongar going to park when they go to the surgery when the Leisure Centre parking is gone? “ Members of the Working Party know that the misguided draft Plan relating to Ongar will have far reaching effects. They want local people to have more say as intended in the Localism Act 2011 and for any development in Ongar to enhance our environment and amenities with well designed housing with plenty of green space and walks. The Working Party are looking for Stakeholders in Ongar who are not Councillors who have information or evidence to support their brief or will offer to participate in the Working Party, to contact them. Regular updates will be available on the Town Council’s website and via social media. To get involved please email your ward councillor, Mary Dadd (Chair of the Working Party) on [email protected] or the Town Clerk on [email protected] or to write to the Working Party c/o Town Clerk, Bansons, Bansons Way, Ongar CM5 9AS 2 .

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.

  • Epping Forest District Questionnaire for Essex County Council
    Epping Forest District Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Network Review Consultation August 2016 Background In 2015 Essex County Council (ECC) began a thorough review of its financial support for those local bus services that it pays for across the County. This consultation is the start of the second part of the review and looks at 70 services across Essex where the current contract ends in 2017. We have grouped together services by geographical area of the County so it is easy to see whether your service is part of the review. Most bus services in Essex are run by commercial operators. The County Council’s role is to decide, where the commercial operators do not provide a service, whether one is needed and if it determines that one is, then to provide it. To help make this decision ECC looks at many factors including what alternatives are available, how many people use them and whether they offer value for money. The Council will not normally continue to support a service where it pays the operator £5.00 or more per passenger carried after all revenue (from fares of all types including the concessionary bus pass scheme) has been taken into account. This is the Cost Per Passenger Journey (CPPJ). A number of the services in this review were last tendered in 2009/10 and the prices agreed then are therefore relatively low compared to prices today. In addition ECC has not increased many of its fares since 2009. As a result a number of bus services in this review are currently close to or exceeding the £5.00 CPPJ upper support limit and are very likely to exceed it after tender.

  • Village News No. 95
    Theydon Picks Up Two Major Awards In RCCE Competitions: Theydon Bois - Class 1 Winner Essex Village of the Year 2016 Village News Issue 95 September 2016 Page 2 Theydon Picks Up Two Major Awards in RCCE Competition Theydon Bois - Class 1 Winner Essex Village of the Year 2016 Once again our Village achieved success in two Essex County Competitions. Tony Ames and Jim Watts Editors of the Theydon Bois Village News and Website attended the Rural Community Council of Essex Community Magazine Awards in Coggeshall and picked up two awards for our village. They were surprised when it was announced at the magazine ceremony that Theydon Bois had been judged as the Class One Winner Essex Village of the Year 2016 in this county wide competition for all Essex Villages. This award was to have been presented at the RCCE AGM in Chelmsford, but unfortunately no Theydon Parish Councillor was available to attend on that evening when the awards were made. Tony & Jim were requested to accept this award for the village on behalf of the Parish Council, but were unaware it was being made hence their surprise. This is not the first time that the Village has been successful in what was previously known as the Best Kept Village Award, but is now in a slightly revised form with differences in the judging of the competition. Despite having been well placed in recent years we have not achieved the First Place in Class 1 (Larger Villages) since 2007. The judges praised the real sense of community spirit they found in Theydon and were impressed with how this came across in our Village Magazine and Website.

  • Questions for Highways Services Presentation Councillor Keith
    Questions for Highways Services Presentation Councillor Keith Wright - Chipping Ongar, Greensted & Marden Ash: 1) Confusion exits as to whom residents should phone when reporting serious faults in pathways and roads. Who should residents contact? 2) Sunken kerbs facilitate cars parking on pavements. Pedestrians and those pushing wheelchairs can often be placed in hazardous situations. What strategies will be adopted to alleviate this problem? This relates especially to Ongar High Street between the Post Office and Ongar Bridge 3) Parking on pavements and across car entrances is endemic in the neighbourhood of schools. Structural damage to kerb edges occurs and safety is compromised.Has any strategy for addressing this concern,possibly to install bollards.been considered? Will it be? Chipping Ongar Primary School is a case in point. Councillor Roland Frankel - Theydon Bois: 1) What is the "official" position about whether resident's cars be parked in the street or in driveways? 2) Does County Council feel that government policy to reduce car journeys is working in Essex? 3)Should cost of traffic disruption (for the road users) be an issue for the time taken on repairs? 4)What causes more pollution: a) stopped cars, b) stop/start congested traffic, c) constantly moving cars? 5)Since EFDC members permitted commercial development on Chigwell Lane, is there now any possibility of a full M11 junction 5? 6)What studies have be made to determine at which point traffic density becomes unsafe? Councillor Mrs A Cooper - Lower Nazeing: 1) At the end of 2006, the total number of road deaths in Essex County Council reached 101.
