This board shows some of the different factors These include: which we are considering as we prepare our plans. • The location of local schools Some of these factors will restrict the nature and location of development on some parts of the • Local listed buildings site, while others present opportunities to create a • Bus routes sustainable and high quality new community. • Public rights of way • Town centre and shopping • Noise sources • Pylons • Potential green links Land East of Great Notley WelcomeTransport Existing Movement The site is sustainably located close to the A131 and A120 and other local road links. Additionally, it is approximately a mile from Braintree’s rail links, and benefits from bus links on both London Road and Notley Road. Our plans will also include pedestrian and cycle links, as well as other measures to promote and encourage sustainable transport. Local transport links Our proposals Primary access to the new development will be provided through a new junction on Notley Road. Bloor and Bellway are currently liaising with Essex County Council on the design and layout of this junction. This will allow traffic to enter and exit the site efficiently. The proposals include the facilitation of a future road link connecting through the site to London Road. This link will reduce the amount of traffic on Bakers Lane, which we believe will be of benefit to local residents. A new link road can be delivered through the site Land East of Great Notley WelcomeDrainage We are carefully considering both surface water and foul sewage drainage as we prepare our proposals for the site. Our plans will include sustainable drainage systems, to ensure that the rate of water runoff from the site will not exceed the current greenfield rate. As part of our pre-application discussions with stakeholders, we are engaging with the relevant drainage authorities to determine what foul water infrastructure will be required on-site. This will likely require the provision of new pumping stations as part of the new development. Noise Given the site’s location south of the A120, it is important that our proposals include measures to mitigate and minimise noise in the development. The masterplan for the site includes a noise buffer on the boundary with the A120, which will reduce the amount of traffic noise that can be heard on the site. The majority of the homes on our site are located further away from the A120 as well, reducing the impact of traffic noise on many of the future residents. We will continue to liaise with all relevant local stakeholders about ensuring that noise levels are acceptable across the site. Land East of Great Notley Responding to planning policy The draft policy allocation for the site requires the delivery of homes, facilities and infrastructure across the whole site. These include: • Around 1,750 new homes of mixed size and type appropriate to the area. Our site will be able to deliver 1,450 of these homes • A new primary school • Open space and recreation, including sports pitches • Financial contribution to local infrastructure such as secondary school • Early years and childcare provision • Business facilities as part of a village centre • New health centre • New allotments The image below shows how some of the benefits set out in planning policy could be delivered on our part of the site. This is not a finalised plan, and is subject to change How benefits could be delivered on the site Land East of Great Notley We welcome your feedback Thank you for coming to our consultation event. To let us know what you think, you can: • Fill out a feedback form and leave it with us • Write to us – FREEPOST MPC Consultation (no stamp needed) • Call our Freephone information line 0800 148 8911 Next steps We will review all of the feedback submitted as a result of this event and make amendments to the proposals to take on board these views wherever possible. Bloor and Bellway Homes are committed to community consultation and will aim to keep the local community informed as the proposals progress..

  • Braintree District Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation September 2015
    Braintree District Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation September 2015 Background Essex County Council (ECC) is carrying out a thorough review of its financial support for local bus services across the County. The role of the County Council under the Transport Acts is to look at where market failure occurs in the local road passenger transport network, decide whether a service is needed, and if in the council’s opinion, it is, then to provide one. Given increased pressure on Local Government grant funding from Central Government and increased calls on statutory services such as education and adult social care, the County Council needs a way to balance the differing potential transport needs of residents when allocating funding. It also needs to manage the network in the light of changes to the commercial bus network, travel demand and changing corporate priorities over time. This consultation sets out a proposed revised policy for doing this and the proposed revisions to the existing network that will result. The policy is based on responses to previous consultations which asked about people’s priorities. We will collate all the responses from the survey and summarise them as part of our report. We will not identify individual people, and your name will not be mentioned in any reports that we write for this purpose. You do not have to take part if you do not want to - this is a voluntary activity. A supporting document explains in more detail the contract changes, how they will affect our customers and how demand responsive transport works.

    An archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching on land opposite The Reindeer public house, The Street, Black Notley, Essex June 2013 report prepared by Adam Wightman and Chris Lister Commissioned by Chelsteen Homes Ltd CAT project ref.: 12/01d HEM site code: BNTS13 NGR: TL 76687 20705 Colchester Archaeological Trust Roman Circus House, Off Circular Road North, Colchester, Essex CO2 7GZ tel.: 07436273304 email: [email protected] CAT Report 708 July 2013 CAT Report 708: An archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching on land opposite The Reindeer public house, The Street, Black Notley, Essex: June 2013 Summary Four evaluation trenches were excavated on land opposite the former Reindeer public house, The Street, Black Notley in June 2013, prior to the construction of six new dwellings. The site is on land adjacent to a 17th- century mill and a presumed Roman villa. No structural remains associated with the 17th-century mill were encountered, although part of the infilled mill leet was exposed. The remains of a late 18th/early 19th century building, probably associated with the replacement mill, were identified during the evaluation. No evidence for Roman activity was recovered. The site appears to have been subject to significant landscaping in the 20th century, which may have removed evidence for earlier activity. Introduction This is the summary report on the archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching carried out by the Colchester Archaeological Trust (CAT) on land opposite the Reindeer public house, The Street, Black Notley, Essex ((NGR TL 76687 20705 ); Fig 1). A planning application (11/01245/FUL) for the redevelopment of the site was submitted to Braintree District Council in July 2012.
