  • Newsletter 13
    THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB HEADQUARTERS: THE PASSMORE EDWARDS MUSEUM, ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 13 March 1995 THE THAMES GATEWAY - THE EAST THAMES CORRIDOR I am grateful to Ken Hill in bringing to my notice the Thames Gateway Planning Framework Consultation Draft. This sets out a framework for a sustained programme of regeneration and development in the East Thames Corridor, extending from Docklands in London to Tilbury in Essex and the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. The intention seems to be to encourage major development of this area, "an area of opportunity which is at the threshold of Europe's largest city and the expanding continental marketplace." This does not bode well for the remaining sites of wildlife importance in the area. The Thames grazing marshes have long been recognised as of national importance for many plants, birds and invertebrates and there is increasing evidence that south Essex contains other sites of great importance for wildlife eg on terrace gravels and chalk. Many areas of importance for nature conservation in South Essex and North Kent are therefore encompassed by this report which only recognises those designated as SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) or SPAs (Special Protection Areas) and although the document advises a new approach of greater care for the environment, nature conservation seems to be only a small part of this consideration. The various development opportunities mapped out give little cause for optimism on the future of existing SSSIs such as Erith, Crayford and Dartford Marshes whose existence does not even seem to be recognised.

BACKGROUND & SITE Sandon Quarry is a former sand and gravel site situated South East of Sandon Village and separated from it by the A12T. Access to the quarry complex is taken off a junction with Church Street and Molrams Lane, these being a slip road onto the A1114. The A1114 itself is some 650 metres north west of its own access with the A12 (T) and A130. From the junction entrance an internal haul road runs eastwards for some 650 metres, crossing both formerly worked mineral land (part agriculture and part now designed to accommodate an area of biodiversity compensation habitat associated with the southern void workings referred to below) and the A12 (T) to then access the site areas identified above.

Licence number AL 100020327 The majority of this woodland is dominated by Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) coppice and forms the high canopy. Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and Field Maple (Acer campestre) are generally found at sub-canopy level. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and Elder (Sambucus nigra) form part of a well-developed shrub layer, though open areas allow light to penetrate to ground level. The ground flora has Dog’s Mercury (Mercurialis perennis) and Lesser Celandine (Ficaria verna) in abundance. Other recorded species include Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), Three-nerved Sandwort (Moehringia trinervia) and Wood Speedwell (Veronica montana). Ownership and Access Thought to be in private ownership, with no public access. The wood can be viewed from a public right of way that runs along the eastern and southern boundaries.

  • 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.

This was followed, in 2004, by a review of these sites under the term “Wildlife Site”. The current, generally accepted term of “Local Wildlife Site” (LoWS) has now been adopted throughout Essex. Where a building, other property or location is used in the name of a LoWS it is not being implied that ownership of that LoWS is associated with the property named. It is merely a descriptive use for ease of locating a piece of land that might have no publicly recognised name or other obvious geographical location. The Local Wildlife Sites Partnership for Essex would be pleased to receive details of more widely recognised names where they exist. In the report, when a location is referred to as a Site (with a capital S) this is an abbreviation that means it is a Local Wildlife Site.

    Appendices to the Appraisal of Sustainability Site Report for Bradwell EN-6: Revised draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation Planning for new energy infrastructure October 2010 Appendices to the Appraisal of Sustainability Site Report For Bradwell Appraisal of Sustainability of the revised draft Nuclear National Policy Statement The Appraisal of Sustainability (AoS), incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment, of the revised draft Nuclear National Policy Statement (Nuclear NPS) has been undertaken at a strategic level. It considers the effects of the proposed policy at a national level and the sites to be assessed for their suitability for the deployment of new nuclear power stations by 2025. These strategic appraisals are part of an ongoing assessment process that started in March 2008 and, following completion of this AoS, will continue with project level assessments when developers make applications for development consent in relation to specific projects. Applications for development consents to the Infrastructure Planning Commission will need to be accompanied by an Environmental Statement having been the subject of a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment. The AoS/SEA Reports are presented in the following documents: AoS Non-Technical Summary Main AoS Report of revised draft Nuclear NPS Introduction Approach and Methods Alternatives Radioactive Waste Findings Summary of Sites Technical Appendices Annexes to Main AoS Report: Reports on Sites Site AoS Reports Technical Appendices All documents are available on the website of the Department of Energy and Climate Change at http://www.energynpsconsultation.decc.gov.uk This document is the Appendices to the Appraisal of Sustainability Site Report for Bradwell.
