Essex County Council FAO Mr Robert Ranger Our ref: ECC/PoTL2/S5542App 3/18 Eagle WingTemple Quay House Your PTR030003 2 The Square Ref: 15 November 2017 Bristol, Date: BS1 6PN Sent by email: [email protected] Dear Mr Ranger, RE: Planning Act 2008 (as amended), Section 55 Application by Port of Tilbury London Limited for an Order Granting Development Consent for the Port of Tilbury Expansion (‘Tilbury2’) Adequacy of Consultation Request Thank you for the opportunity to respond on behalf of Essex County Council (ECC) as a neighbouring authority and statutory consultee to this request to comment on the Adequacy of Consultation Report in relation to the proposed new port development, known as Tilbury2, at the former Tilbury Power Station. ECC is a neighbouring and strategic authority within the definition of the Duty to Co-operate S110 of the Localism Act 2012 and Section 30 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2008. The Tilbury 2 proposal is a strategic cross-boundary matter and ECC wish to engage with this process, with the following relevant roles: a key partner and service provider within Essex promoting economic development, regeneration, infrastructure delivery and new development for the benefit of Essex and the region; The highways and transportation authority for Essex, with responsibility for the delivery of the Essex Local Transport Plan; Minerals and Waste Planning Authority, Local Lead Flood Authority and Public Health advisor for the county of Essex; and The Local Education Authority for Essex and as a key partner in the promotion of employability and skills. ECC has a long history of close working with Thurrock Council, a neighbouring unitary authority within Greater Essex and as partner authorities in South Essex, within London Thames Gateway; South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) and the Opportunity South Essex Partnership (OSE). It will be necessary for the Port of Tilbury Limited (PoTL) to have regard to the wider regional priorities, as set out by ECC, SELEP and OSE. The proposed development is of significance to ECC, given the importance and potential impact on the Essex economy, environment and transport network (both road and rail) and in particular Essex’s connectivity with London. 1 It is noted that the scope of this consultation concerns the applicant’s Consultation Report only, in respect of their engagement with ECC to shape and inform the application and not the merits of the applciation. I can advise that ECC has been actively engaged with the Port of Tilbury Limited (PoTL) since our initial consultation on the draft Scoping Report in February 2017 through to the submitted draft DCO Application. ECC has provided a total of five consultation responses to date, which are enclosed for your records and listed below: ECC Responses to Tilbury2 Project: 17 March 2017 re Draft Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report to PoTL 26 April 2017 EIA Scoping Report to PINs 22 May 2017 Draft Statement of Community Consultation to PoTL 28 July 2017 S42 Application –Preliminary Environmental Information Report to PoTL 19 October Pre-Application engagement (22/9/2017-16/10/2017) to PoTL The nature and scope of these consultations responses have concnerned: Highways and Transporttion Minerals and Waste Planning Lead Local Flood Authority – Flood and Water Management Economic Growth and Rgeneration Environment Archaeology and Historic Environment Landscape and Arboriculture; and Ecology ECC has raised a range of issues and comments in the development of this proposal and the supporting evidence within the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR) including further requests for information and clarification on the individual and cumulative effects and the proposed mitigation. ECC is continuing to engage with PoTL and their consultants as they progress the PEIR and application. Please find attached Annex 1, a schedule of ECC’s detailed comments on the Consultation Report and Appendices, which clarifies ECC’s position regarding specific themes related to this project and the ongoing engagement. That said, there are a number of issues we wish to bring to your attention, concerning a number of misunderstandings of our position, given the nature of the statements and information presented within the Consultation Report when compared to ECC’s position and request for additional information and clarification as set out in our letters of 22 May 2017, 28 July 2017 and 19 October 2017. Highways and Transportation ECC Highways and Transportation dispute the statements and the approach taken within Table 10.6 (and Appendix 3) which appears to be the cause of a misunderstanding and subsequent limited engagement between the PoTL and ECC. The statements in column 4 of Table 20.6 (pages 196 & 198) do not fully reflect the records of the meeting held on 24 May (see attached) and are contrary to ECC’s stated 2 position in our consultation responses dated the 22 May 2017 and 28 July 2017 which remain outstanding. To clarify our position, ECC is still awaiting receipt of the additional information requested regarding the Tilbury2 development and the supporting Transport Assessment. This information has been requested to enable ECC to assess any potential implications on the strategic road network within Essex (A13, A127, A130, A12 & M11) and connectivity between Essex and London and to assess the potential inter- relationship between the construction and operation of Tilbury2 and the Lower Thames Crossing projects. ECC’s position has not changed or been superseded by the statements of the meetings held on 24 May 2017, which appear to have been misinterpreted. Please refer to Annex 1 for a detailed explanation of the outstanding issues. Minerals and Waste Planning ECC Minerals and Waste Planning dispute the statement and the approach taken in respect of “Waste” as set out in Table 21.4 of Consultation Report (page 203). The statements in column 4 do not reflect ECC’s record of the telecon on 30 August 2017 (see detail in Annex 1). To clarify ECC’s position is as set out in our letter of 28 July 2017 and there is an absence of waste management capacity within Essex as evidenced in the Adopted Essex and Southend on Sea Waste Local Plan, and in line with national planning policy for Waste and the Adopted Thurrock Local Plan. The proposal should first seek to understand the existing and future capacity (including facilities) within Thurrock as the host waste planning authority. Ecology ECC has liaised with the consultants as indicated within the Consultation Report, however ECC are awaiting a revised copy of the Terrestrial Ecology chapter within the PEIR. It is further noted that given the time constraints, the applicant’s may not have incorporated ECC’s latest comments in our letter of 19 October 2017 within the Consultation Report / Submission. ECC reserves our position as a statutory consultee, subject to the receipt of the requisite information and clarification previously requested in on the 22 May 2017, 28 July 2017 and 19 October 2017 respectively, as outlined above and in Annex 1. ECC anticipates that these outstanding matters have the potential to be resolved through the receipt of the information and ongoing engagement with PoTL through the pre- examination process including the preparation of respective Statements of Common Ground. If a decision is made to accept the application for examination. ECC shall register as an interested party in due course 3 If you require further information or clarrification on any points raised in this response please contact Lesley Stenhouse and her details are set out below.

  • Identification of Hedonomic Road Landscape in Lithuania
    Aplinkos tyrimai, inžinerija ir vadyba, 2010. Nr. 4(54), P. 72-78 ISSN 2029-2139 Environmental Research, Engineering and Management, 2010. No.4(54), P. 72-78 (On-line) Identification of Hedonomic Road Landscape in Lithuania Irina Matijošaitienė Department of Architecture and Land Management, Kaunas University of Technology (received in November, 2010, accepted in December, 2010) Hedonomics is quite a new branch of science which is closely related to ergonomics – where ergonomic needs, such as safety, functionality, usability, and hedonomic needs such as pleasurable experience and personal perfection just begin. Further analysis of the subject literature, and comparison of the facts about hedonomics allow us perceive hedonomic roadscape as a pleasurable roadscape. Since it is not clear how to identify hedonomic or pleasurable roadscape, the interdisciplinary roadscape evaluation method is proposed in the paper. The method is based on an assumption of a concept of hedonomic road landscape as an aspiration. The proposed method consists of a preparatory field research of roadscape including road landscape research and photo-fixation on the site, a survey method selection, questionnaires formation using Kansei engineering and SD (semantic differential) technique and a main research including sociological research and using cluster and contingency analysis. The author also identifies hedonomic and non- hedonomic landscape of main Lithuanian arterial roads which are labeled as European arterial roads and corridors of the network of European roads except for bypasses. Key words: road landscape (roadscape), hedonomic, cluster analysis, contingency analysis, Kansei engineering method, semantic differential method (SD technique). 1. Introduction A distinctive culture of travelling by car started to look wider at roadscape and its identification, and to develop in the USA at the beginning of the 20th to develop a solution at psychological, economic, century.

  • Appendix a to the Council Minutes – 23 October 2019
    Appendix A to the Council Minutes – 23 October 2019 Item 6 – Questions from Members of the Public. There were 6 questions submitted from members of the public. 1. From Mrs Saunders to Councillor Watkins I would like to ask the Council why so many trees are being removed in Thurrock in particular Dell Road, this is near where I live, I’m in Rectory Road, the Orsett Cock roundabout, Rectory Road, Chadwell Road and we noticed some had been taken down near Coalhouse Fort whilst out walking. Thank you. Mayor Councillor Watkins, please respond to the question. Councillor Watkins Thank you very much Mr Mayor, and thank you to yourself as well Mrs Saunders. Trees can be removed for a multitude of different reasons, such as development or issues specifically related to that tree or for particular safety issues as well. I would just like to point out, and I’m not sure how you feel, but I don’t like seeing trees being taken down. They will only ever get taken down if there was ever an actual need to do so. In case you were wondering where, Cabinet in February, thanks to a motion which was passed actually through Council, approved of a Tree Planting Strategy, which would replace trees taken down on public land, tree planting within that was also back-dated as well, so there were sixty six trees being replaced in total. There’s also been additional ones, since the storm for example we’ve had this year, and in which trees which came down within that, those ones will equally be replaced.

  • A13 Road Widening (Stanford-Le-Hope Bypass)
    A13 Road Widening (Stanford-le-Hope Bypass) The A13 connects central London with the southeast coast of Essex via Thurrock. Whilst designated a local road, it is a critical arterial route in the east of England, and a vital part of the UK’s national road network. A13 Widening (Stanford-le-Hope Bypass) The road is currently a two-lane dual-carriageway between its junctions with the A128 and A1014. Increasing its capacity will increase its potential to accommodate growth, supporting long-term local investment and national productivity. What is planned? Plans are underway to widen the A13 Stanford-le-Hope Bypass from two to three lanes in both directions, from the junction with the A128 (Orsett Cock roundabout) in the west and the A1014 (The Manorway) to the east. This widened section of road will tie-in with the existing three-lane section of the A13 to the west of the junction with A128. It will also link with work already carried out at the junction with the A1014. Works will begin once £80million of committed government funding is secured. A further £10million will be provided by DP World London Gateway. What will happen? Construction work will involve the demolition and re-building of four bridges across the widened road. The new bridges will be built next to where the current ones stand, allowing traffic to flow normally for as long as possible. The junction at the Orsett Cock roundabout would be rebuilt to tie in with the new bridge locations. Other road widening plans include: • widening the central reservation and verges for better visibility on bends • relocation of noise barriers • new embankments • new safety fencing • new drainage and flood control • new road lighting • public utility diversions • new landscaping There will be no demolition of properties next to the A13.

    THAMES CROSSING ACTION GROUP Spring 2020 LOWER THAMES CROSSING SUPPLEMENTARY CONSULTATION RESPONSE www.thamescrossingactiongroup.com [email protected] Thames Crossing Action Group represents thousands of people along and from the surrounding areas that the entire proposed Lower Thames Crossing will impact if it goes ahead. First and foremost we would state that we find it totally unacceptable that this consultation was not postponed until after the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has passed. We do not feel this Supplementary Consultation has been held adequately, and we will go into this in further details later in our response. It is under complete and utter duress that we, Thames Crossing Action Group, and all our thousands of members respond to this consultation at a time when the whole world is immersed in the COVID- 19 pandemic crisis. Some of us are grieving with the loss of loved ones, some of us are fighting for our lives, some of us are very sick, some of us are fighting to try and save those lives, some of us are going out of our minds with worry about loved ones, some of us are doing our utmost to ensure that everyone else have the food and supplies to survive. We are all seriously stressed and concerned, we are all doing our best to follow official advice, we are all doing the right thing and staying at home, we are all doing our best to try and stay safe, take care of and support each other. We at TCAG and all our thousands of members are completely disgusted that at this time Highways England/Lower Thames Crossing are happily putting additional pressure on us at this most difficult and awful times, by continuing to inflict this consultation upon us, rather than postponing until after the COVID019 crisis has passed.

The aggregates, sand and gravel, originate from Prior’s quarry at Fingringhoe on the River Colne near Colchester. Prior owns seven aggregate vessels ranging in size from 250 to 600 tonne cargo carrying capacity. The vessels load directly from the quarry and delivery direct to upriver aggregates facilities, carrying approximately 160,000 tonnes per year. These small ships make a huge contribution to keeping heavy lorries off London’s streets. In recognition of this, the company has received several Freight Facilities Grants towards the cost of vessel refurbishment. 2 A panorama of two safeguarded Wandsworth terminals: Cringle Dock, a waste transfer station owned by the Western Riverside Waste Authority and operated by Cory Environmental; and RMC Battersea, owned and operated as a concrete batching plant by RMC. These two berths primarily handle cargo that has been transhipped within the Port of London, sea-dredged aggregates and cement arriving at RMC Battersea from terminals in Greenwich, Northfleet and Greenhithe and household waste barged from Cringle Dock to Mucking in Essex. In 2001, over 375,000 tonnes of cargo was handled at these two terminals, which kept over 51,000 lorry movements of the capital’s streets. 3 A Cory Environmental owned tug pulling a pair of dumb barges upstream through Lambeth Bridge carrying empty containers for loading with household waste at two safeguarded water transfer stations in Wandsworth (Western Riverside Waste Transfer Station and Cringle Dock).
