The site is in the Green Belt. The house sits in a large plot of some 1.5 acres, which falls away from the road to the south. The front (road) boundary is delineated with a timber boarded fence and a line of tall conifers. The house sits at a slight angle to the road and is a minimum of some 22m inside the front boundary. 3.0 The Heritage Asset The house is a timber framed building, originating around the C17th. It is generally externally plastered and with a clay plain tiled roof. The principal elevation is to the north. The house has been extended with wings to the east and south. Many windows survive in their original form as do many parts of the interiors. Extract from Listing Description for the house.

Listing NGR: TL5364800027 Stanford Rivers House January 2015 Page 2 N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 4 January 2014 4.0 Description of the Proposal Details of the proposals can be read from the architectural drawings produced by Architectural Management. During 2013 the owner approached Epping Forest District Council planning department for advice on repairs and replacement of the hard cement render with lime render and the replacement of two front porches which were rotten and becoming unsafe. Advice was given and work commenced on site, but unfortunately due to a misunderstanding on the owners behalf, without the benefit of formal Listed Building Consent. Subsequently meetings have taken place with Clare Munday (Planning Officer) and Paul Clarke (Conservation Officer) from Essex County Council. The repair works were the subject of a Listed Building application which was refused consent, due to the detail of the main porch, which was rebuilt using a natural oak framework under a plain tile roof. The details of the replacement of the small porch and re-rendering works were then agreed and are the subject of a further separate retrospective Listed Building application in order to regularise that work. The application to which this document relates is for a revised detail to the main porch. Observations received from Paul Clarke (and previously from Anna Foreshew) indicated that the new porch was of a design which appeared too heavy. The natural oak construction, whilst a nicely executed piece of work, was too chunky and at odds with the appearance of the house. It also tended to be too close to the doorcase. The revised proposal would reconfigure the construction and have thinner frame members with chamfered edges and would omit the rear posts, which were against the house and observed to be crowding and masking the doorcase. The construction of the porch, where against the house, now proposes to have console brackets fixed to the wall to support the roof, thus removing the rear posts from their position against the doorcase. Overall the height is reduced by some 275mm and the width increased by some 100mm, which changes the overall proportions to improve the aesthetics. The dwarf brick plinth walls would also be rebuilt in a half brick construction to again move them away from the doorcase. The dwarf walls perform the function of supporting the front posts and preventing surface rainwater from gathering at the doorway. At present, despite being a gravel finish, the water flows towards the house and doorway. The internal house floor along this elevation is at or below the general ground levels. Due to the lie of the land and the prevailing slope on the site, it is not practical to reprofile the levels as it would involve regrading much of the front driveway across the considerable width of the house. Finally the whole of the oak frame and the brickwork would be limewashed to match the house, to unify the different finishes and harmonise the appearance. Stanford Rivers House January 2015 Page 3 N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 4 January 2014 5.0 Impact Assessment The proposal is for a remodelling of the main porch. The shape and form of the main façade is such that it demands some form of porch around the door, both aesthetically and for physical protection of the main entrance doorway. It would appear that some form of porch has existed here for many years and this proposal seeks to improve upon the one which presently exists. The earlier porch was of a very flimsy construction (shown in photograph left), with an odd tiled roof at a very low pitch. The present porch has been identified as not being appropriate to the setting of the house and this application and design seeks to redress that situation. The impact of the physical presence of the porch is very low, as there has been one in this position for many years and the effect of the design improvements in this proposal are positive over the previous two designs. 6.0 Conclusion The proposed alterations to the porch create a form which is more appropriate in proportion, more harmonious in appearance and respects the existing doorcase and fanlight by giving space around it, retaining it to view.

  • Planning Statement
    PLANNING STATEMENT Residential scheme comprising 5 no. residential dwellings with associated off-street parking, garden space and external landscaping. Land adjacent the Woodman Public House, London Road, Stanford Rivers, Ongar, Essex CM5 9QF On Behalf of Landvest Developments Limited May 2017 Our Ref: C17013 250 Avenue West, Skyline 120 Great Notley, Braintree Essex, CM77 7AA 01376 329059 [email protected] www.phase2planning.co.uk Contents Page Executive Summary 1. Introduction 5 2 The Site and Surroundings 9 3 Planning History 10 4 The Proposals 12 5 Relevant Planning Policies 17 6 Consideration of the Main Planning Issues 26 7 Conclusion 41 Executive Summary and Conclusion This proposal is for an infill development which seeks to secure the residential development of 5 no. residential units on underutilised brownfield land and will provide 40% starter homes on site. The starter homes will be sold at a 20% discount to first time buyers and capped in line with the Governments recommendations. The presumption in favour of a grant of planning permission applies in this case for a variety of reasons: a) The inadequacy of the 5 year supply; b) ‘Absent’ provision in Saved Local Plan policies for provision of housing post 2011; c) out-of-date policies; and d) The NPPF requirement that housing applications should be considered in the context of the presumption in favour of sustainable development. Only one of the above needs to be demonstrated for the proposal to be determined in accordance with paragraph 14 of the NPPF for the presumption in favour of development to apply. The effect of applying the presumption is that the planning balance shifts in favour of the grant of consent.

  • Scrub Clearance Enhances Floristic Species Richness on a Green Lane with Restricted Motorised Vehicular Access in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England
    Conservation Evidence (2009), 6, 79-82 www.ConservationEvidence.com Scrub clearance enhances floristic species richness on a green lane with restricted motorised vehicular access in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England Tim Gardiner 1 & Andrew Vaughan 2 1 2 Beech Road, Rivenhall, Witham, Essex CM8 3PF, UK ; [email protected] 2 Epping Forest Countrycare, Epping Forest District Council, Civic Offices, High Street, Epping, Essex CM16 4BZ, UK ; [email protected] SUMMARY An experimental early-spring scrub clearance regime was introduced in 2008 to Coleman’s Lane, a ‘green lane’ site (i.e. a double hedged, unsurfaced track) in Essex, southeast England, with the aim of increasing floristic species richness. A year after scrub clearance, floristic species richness was higher on both grassy verges either side (average 5.6 species/quadrat) and central track (4.3 species) of the green lane, compared with that recorded a year prior to clearance (4.2 and 2.8 species respectively). Plant species that especially benefited from scrub clearance included cow parsley Anthriscus sylvestris and red dead nettle Lamium purpureum . New species recorded in 2009 included bush vetch Vicia sepium , sweet violet Viola odorata and wood anemone Anemone nemorosa . There were substantial reductions in bramble Rubus fruticosus and cleavers Galium aparine achieved. Further clearance is planned for winter 2009-10, and subsequently on a 2-3 year rotation. BACKGROUND includes the conservation of flora, fauna and physical features of the landscape. Motorised The byways (public rights of way open to all access can lead to low floristic species traffic; walkers, horse riders, cyclists, richness where vehicular usage is high, often motorised vehicles and carriage drivers) of eradicating plant cover on the central track Essex were surveyed in 2002 and 2003 in an due to excessive wear and tear by vehicle effort to describe their value for conservation, wheels (Gardiner 2008).
