Cattle grazing has taken place in Epping Forest for over 1,000 years and has helped to create the unique landscape and wildlife diversity for which the Forest is renowned. Grazing is currently viewed as an important aspect of Forest management as mowing alone cannot provide the complex mosaic of habitats which make up a pasture-woodland like Epping Forest. Grazing by Commoners’ free-ranging cattle continued throughout the 20th century but started to decline in the latter half of the century, with the last free-ranging cattle leaving the Forest in 1996. In 2002 a small conservation of rare English herd of Longhorn cattle were introduced to the Forest in an area between High Beach and Chingford. However, extending much needed grazing safely into other parts of the Forest is a complex challenge. The number of vehicles on the roads has significantly increased over recent years, and traffic would pose significant safety concerns if cattle were allowed to wander freely without extra controls such as road signs, traffic-calming and cattle grids (see photos top opposite). The Superintendent of Epping Forest, Jeremy Wisenfeld said: “The Corporation of London is fully committed to protecting the commoners’ ancient rights and believe that grazing is of vital importance to preserving the Forest’s special character and wildlife diversity. We need to have a robust strategy for the future safe and economic management of grazing and would like the public’s views on the issues and possible solutions as outlined in the ‘Cattle Grazing in Epping Forest’ document.” There are limited options available in managing the areas in which cattle can graze – they include more cattle grids, the use of temporary electric fencing and permanent fencing. Both fencing measures have been used successfully in the Chingford / High Beach areas of the Forest since 2002. Should more fencing be installed there would need to be frequent access points for all Forest users, so that public access to Forest land is not restricted. In 1874, enclosure of Forest land for private development, which prevented commoners freely grazing their cattle, was declared unlawful. This move was crucial in preventing Forest land from being ‘sliced up’ and therefore played a key role in preserving London’s largest green space for future generations to enjoy freely. For a copy of the consultation documentation and a questionnaire, please contact the Visitor Centre (02085080028-e-mail [email protected].) You can visit www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/epping to view the information and complete the questionnaire online. The Conservators will also be organising ‘drop in’ sessions across the Forest area for members of the public – details of these will be advertised on the Epping Forest website and will be available throughout local libraries. IIssue 52 PPaaggee 44 Parish Council Chairman’s Report Dark evenings have been upon us now for some weeks. Halloween and Guy Fawkes nights and Lighting the Christmas Tree ceremony have come and already gone and now we are rushing towards the Christmas and New Year festivities. I want to be wishing you all the best for Christmas and the New Year and do not want, therefore, to dwell on those important issues which have challenged our village this year such as the threatening East of England Plan, the severe problems associated with the Parsonage Golf development and Blunts Farm Estates. They will continue to create problems for many next year and we will need to rise robustly to the challenges as they occur. We welcome and fully understand the protests from those who are most affected and, quite rightly, are most vociferous about these developments. High level contacts continue with Epping Forest District Council and we have made representations to the Environment Agency. There is one issue, however, which I cannot ignore because of the urgency. At the end of January the hearing into Essex County Council’s Appeal against refusal of Outline Planning Permission for ten houses on the land on which the Youth Community Centre stands, will be reconvened for a further two days to bring the hearing to a conclusion. Other articles in this journal expand on this issue and if you have any information, material or pictures, I urge you to contact Councillors Peter Hammond or Anthony Purkiss at the Parish Office. Every piece of information is vital. To return to the seasonal background of this issue, at the moment of writing we are enjoying some rare old fashioned cold winter weather – a reminder of Charles Dickens’ famous old story ‘Christmas Carol’. Need I remind you that it is a story about the life of Scrooge, a wealthy but mean spirited business man who treated his employee and others badly but was afforded the opportunity to see how his frugal lifestyle had adversely affected the lives of others, especially his poor employee and family. The tale set in the cold snowy days approaching Christmas, features the hopes of the innocent children; the frustrations of their hard working and hard up parents; and the most unexpected transformation of the villain of the story turning into a great and generous benefactor, resulting in a happy ending to the story. Since last Christmas day, we have been shocked and mortified by the scenes on television of the horrific events in the Pacific caused by the devastation wrecked by the Tsunami, the floods which swamped New Orleans and Louisiana, the terrible effects of the ongoing drought and malnutrition in Africa causing great suffering amongst the young, the July bombings in London and more recently, the earthquake in Pakistan, the death toll of which still threatens to rise because of inability to treat all casualties and because of the onslaught of winter snows in the remote regions. Whatever your beliefs, one can surely not be impervious to the sufferings of these IIssue 52 Page 5 Parish Council Chairman’s Report (continued) people, nor ignore their terrible plight. Many of us I am sure, have already donated generously to help these poor people and yet, they need much more by way of aid. In the last weeks before Christmas and in the early weeks of the new-year and beyond, with all our comparative wealth and luxury, please spare a thought for these poor desperate souls living on the cusp of life and death and give thanks for the blessings life has brought to us. Please therefore be generous every time the opportunity presents itself to you. Help to begin to turn around the lives of these poor people of this world, to give them hope and relief from suffering - to give and not to count the cost. Meanwhile, I would like to thank all those people who have volunteered and assisted with the work of the Council and I would like to thank Madeleine our Clerk and all members of the Parish Council for all their support during this year. All that remains is for me, on behalf of Madeleine and all the members of the Parish Council, to wish all readers a very merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful new year. JOHN EATON Theydon Bois Village Association A local man has responded to the advertisement for a gardener, which was placed in the summer edition of ‘Village News’. He has since done a lot of pruning and clearing, and the hall surrounds are looking much tidier for his efforts. At the last Executive Committee Meeting, mention was again made on how well used the village hall is. There was a meeting of the Trustees from the Societies affiliated to the VA, at the end of November. During this meeting, the subject of the hiring charges and any increases was discussed and it was decided not to raise the charges for member societies for the coming year. A number of projects have taken place since the summer and these include: Hornbeam and Holly Rooms (the multi-purpose rooms at the back of the hall) re- decorated. • A new radio microphone, stand, amplifier and two speakers have been purchased for use in the Beech and Poplar rooms (small front hall). These will be locked away until required. • Two new hot water urns have been purchased for use in the kitchen and bar areas. • The oak floor in the main hall (Oak Room) is to be completely sanded, cleaned and a new sealer applied. This will take place just before Christmas and the hall will be closed for several days. IIssue 52 PPaaggee 66 Winter Fun in Epping Forest Winter is a wonderful time to explore the delights of Epping Forest and there are many seasonal Forest events planned throughout the coming months! December: On Sun 18 Dec from 10.30am-12.30pm visitors are invited to join Epping Forest’s traditional festive guided walk in the High Beach area, which will be followed by a hot drink, mince pies and seasonal music in the Photo by Forest Keeper Brian Gotts Visitor Centre. Please meet at the Epping Forest Visitor Centre, High Beach.

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.
