Celebrating a Wild Year in Essex Essex Wildlife Essex Wildlife Trust Annual Review 2017 Celebrating a wild year in Essex Protecting Wildlife for the Future and for the People of Essex From the Chairman I am delighted to welcome you to the 2017 Annual Review for Essex Wildlife Trust, my second year as your Chair of Trustees. I am very pleased to report that the Trust continues to strengthen and to grow in so many positive ways. We now have more than 37,000 members across Essex, more than ever before – so, a huge thanks to each and every one of you for supporting our work. The footfall across our 11 visitor centres topped the 1,000,000 mark for the first time, showing that there is an ever- increasing interest in the wildlife and natural landscapes of our beautiful county. As a result, the tills in our shops and cafés rang like never before, generating much needed additional income for the conservation work across our network of reserves. We delivered record numbers of education sessions and children’s birthday parties, engaging with thousands of young people. At a time when the Brexit process continues to offer an uncertain picture for the long-term future for some of our key sources of income, it is heartening to see our core activities go from strength to strength, building firm foundations for the years ahead. Of course, none of this would be possible without the input of our dedicated and inspirational staff team, together with the exceptional contribution and commitment of our army of volunteers, who support the organisation in so many different ways – river and coastal wardens, kitchen helpers, visitor centres ‘meeters and greeters’, reserves work party members, magazine deliverers and so many more. Thank you to you all.

The sweet chestnut trees in the wood have been ‘coppiced’ for many centuries. Coppicing is a way of managing woodland by cutting trees and shrubs almost to ground level to encourage many small stems. This practice is A maintained to manage the woodland today. Other trees in the wood include oak, small-leaved lime and the rare wild service tree.

  • APPENDIX 5A – Schedule of Proposed Policies Map Changes June 2019
    APPENDIX 5A – Schedule of Proposed Policies Map Changes June 2019 Schedule of Proposed Changes to the Pre-Submission Local Plan Policies Map A Planning Inspector is examining the Chelmsford City Council Local Plan as submitted by the Council on 29 June 2018. As part of the examination process a number of proposed modifications to the Pre-Submission Local Plan have been identified. These modifications are either classified as "main" or "additional" modifications and are set out in the updated main and additional modification schedules, March 2019. The policies map is not defined in statute as a development plan document and so the Inspector does not have the power to recommend main modifications to it. However the Council must maintain an adopted policies map which accurately illustrates geographically the application of the policies in the adopted development plan. Therefore, this schedule sets out a number of changes to the policies map which are in response to specific modifications to policies set out in the main modifications schedule. Other changes are also included to reflect the additional modifications schedule. The related main or additional modification reference number is included in the schedule below. Where changes are factual only there is no main or additional modification reference included. Accompanying this schedule are inset maps showing the specific changes in map form, where applicable. Please note maps have not been produced if the only change is to the title. It should be noted that at the point of adoption the latest OS base mapping will be applied to the policies map and insets. This may result in minor changes occurring to notation boundaries.
