Draft Recommendations on the Future Electoral Arrangements for Chelmsford in Essex Draft recommendations on the future electoral arrangements for Chelmsford in Essex May 2000 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND The Local Government Commission for England is an independent body set up by Parliament. Our task is to review and make recommendations to the Government on whether there should be changes to local authorities’ electoral arrangements. Members of the Commission are: Professor Malcolm Grant (Chairman) Professor Michael Clarke CBE (Deputy Chairman) Peter Brokenshire Kru Desai Pamela Gordon Robin Gray Robert Hughes CBE Barbara Stephens (Chief Executive) We are statutorily required to review periodically the electoral arrangements – such as the number of councillors representing electors in each area and the number and boundaries of wards and electoral divisions – of every principal local authority in England. In broad terms our objective is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, and the number of councillors and ward names. We can also make recommendations for change to the electoral arrangements of parish and town councils in the borough. © Crown Copyright 2000 Applications for reproduction should be made to: Her Majesty’s Stationery Office Copyright Unit The mapping in this report is reproduced from OS mapping by the Local Government Commission for England with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, © Crown Copyright.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND iii iv LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Commission began a review of the electoral arrangements for Chelmsford on 30 November 1999. • This report summarises the representations we received during the first stage of the review, and makes draft recommendations for change. We found that the existing electoral arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Chelmsford: • in six of the 27 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10 per cent from the average for the borough, and one ward varies by more than 20 per cent from the average; • by 2004 this unequal representation is not expected to improve, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average in eight wards and by more than 20 per cent in one ward. Our main draft recommendations for future electoral arrangements (Figures 1 and 2 and paragraphs 76–77) are that: • Chelmsford Borough Council should have 57 councillors, one more than at present; • there should be 24 wards, instead of 27 as at present; • the boundaries of 19 of the existing wards should be modified, resulting in a net reduction of three, and eight wards should retain their existing boundaries; • elections should continue to take place every four years. These draft recommendations seek to ensure that the number of electors represented by each district councillor is as nearly as possible the same, having regard to local circumstances. • In only one of the proposed 24 wards would the number of electors per councillor vary by more than 10 per cent from the borough average. • This improved level of electoral equality is expected to improve further, with the number of electors per councillor in all wards expected to vary by no more than 10 per cent from the average for the borough in 2004. LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND v Recommendations are also made for changes to parish and town council electoral arrangements which provide for: • revised warding arrangements and the redistribution of councillors for the parishes of Great Baddow and Springfield; • an increase in the number of councillors serving South Hanningfield Parish Council and a reduction in the number of councillors serving South Woodham Ferrers Town Council. This report sets out our draft recommendations on which comments are invited. • We will consult on our draft recommendations for eight weeks from 16 May 2000. Because we take this consultation very seriously, we may move away from our draft recommendations in the light of Stage Three responses. It is therefore important that all interested parties let us have their views and evidence, whether or not they agree with our draft recommendations. • After considering local views, we will decide whether to modify our draft recommendations and then make our final recommendations to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions. • It will then be for the Secretary of State to accept, modify or reject our final recommendations. He will also determine when any changes come into effect.

  • Memorial to the Fallen of Danbury, 1914 1919
    MEMORIAL TO THE FALLEN OF DANBURY, 1914 1919 1 Men named on the Danbury memorial, and on the tablet within St John ’s Church, Danbury, who lost their lives in the first world war The list of names has been there in the village for all to see since the memorial was put in place in 1926. Now, research has been undertaken to see what we can learn about those men, their lives, their service and their families. The list of names may not be complete. There was no government led undertaking to commemorate the fallen, or central records used; it was up to individual parishes to decide what to do. Maybe there was a parish meeting, or a prominent local person might have set things in motion, or the Royal British Legion, and parishioners would have been asked for the names of those lost. Sometimes men were associated with more than one parish, and would have relatives putting their names forward in each of them. Occasionally people did not wish the name of their loved one to be there, to be seen each time they walked past, a constant reminder of their loss. Various websites have been consulted, namely the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Findmypast and Forces War Records. My thanks go also to Ian Hook at The Essex Regiment Museum who helped me to track down some of the men and to Alan Ridgway who allowed me to use material from his and Joanne Phillips’ comprehensive study of the lives of the “Great War Heroes of Little Baddow and their Families”, regarding Joseph Brewer and Charles Rodney Wiggins.

  • APPENDIX 5 Discounted SLAA Sites List
    APPENDIX 5 Discounted SLAA Sites List TECHNICAL NOTE Job Name: Chelmsford SLAA Job No: 35446 Note No: 2 Date: 19 August 2015 Prepared By: Daniel Wheelwright Subject: List of Discounted Sites from the SLAA Assessment The list below sets out those sites which are subject to the ‘absolute constraints’ (as listed in the SLAA Criteria note) in their entirety. Where sites are only partially affected by the absolute constraint(s), the site is still taken forward into the SLAA database on the basis of the resultant unaffected area. It should be noted that for Green Belt and ‘Green Wedge’ sites, two versions of the SLAA assessment were undertaken (see SLAA Database Methodology and Output Note). The first is a ‘policy-on’ approach of treating Green Belt and Green Wedge sites as an absolute constraint to development. The list below reflects this approach. The second ‘policy-off’ approach does not discount Green Belt and Green Wedge sites and includes them within the assessment. It should be noted however that Sites CFS10, CFS32 CFS253 remain ‘absolute constraints’ under both approaches – given they are site specific reasons for their discounting - and therefore do not feature in the SLAA database.

  • Living in a Conservation Area – a Guide
    Living in a Conservation Area – a guide What is a Conservation Area? A conservation area is defined as an area of “special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. This means that when a conservation area is designated, the City Council has recognised that the area has a special character and identity which is worth protecting. There are 25 designated areas within Chelmsford City which includes the historic village centres, such as Pleshey, Little Waltham and Writtle, parts of the City Centre and other areas of character, such as the St Johns Hospital and the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation. Great Baddow conservation area was designated in 1969. The City Council is required by legislation to “preserve or enhance” the character of each conservation area and all new proposals which affect that special character have to be considered in the light of this requirement. What is expected is a sensitive management of change within an area through the planning process rather than no change at all. This can be achieved by the preparation of a character appraisal for each conservation area, policy making, by prudent development management and where necessary enforcement. Character appraisals clearly define and analyses the special architectural or historic interest that warrants the area’s designation, providing a framework for future control and enhancement. The council have a programme of updating its conservation area appraisals, Great Baddow will be reviewed in due course. The current legislation relating to conservation areas is contained within the • Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

  • Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Little Baddow
    PARISH CHURCH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, LITTLE BADDOW. WELCOME ….. to this ancient and interesting church, which has a pleasant and peaceful situation at the northern end of the parish, near the River Chelmer and at the foot of the gentle rise of Danbury Hill, upon the slope of which is situated the main residential area of the parish. People have worshipped here for at least 900 years and throughout its long history, generations of Baddow folk have altered, improved and beautified this ancient building. Today it is still in regular use for Christian worship; the purpose for which it was built. We hope that you will enjoy exploring St Mary‟s and discover its features of interest and beauty. Above all, we hope that you will feel “at home” here in our Father‟s House. No visitor can fail to appreciate the love and care given to this church by its present-day custodians, who have recently spent thousands of pounds upon the building. Please pray for the priest and people whose Spiritual Home this is, and who welcome any contributions that their visitors could spare, to help them keep their ancient church intact and beautiful for future generations to use and enjoy. * * * * * * * * * EXTERIOR The church stands attractively in a trim churchyard, from which the ground descends to the west, thus explaining the unusual arrangement of buttresses which strengthen the sturdy tower. The north-west buttress is diagonal, whereas the south-west corner has angle buttresses. This 52 ft high tower is mostly work of the 14th century and has a fine west doorway with Decorated (early 14th century) window above it.
