Corporate Plan Priorities The report relates to the following priorities in the Corporate Plan. Attracting investment and delivering infrastructure Facilitating suitable housing for local needs Providing high quality public spaces Promoting a more sustainable environment Promoting healthier and more active lives Enhancing participation in cultural activities 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Consultants Amec Foster Wheeler were appointed by the Council to assess the extent of and rationale for the existing Green Wedges and their potential extension along the River Valleys. The assessment will provide important evidence to inform the policies and proposals of the Council including the new Local Plan. It will also support decisions on relevant planning applications. 1.2 The Green Wedge and Corridor assessment report is given in Appendix 1. 2. Background 2.1 In response to paragraph 109 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Green Wedges contain land that the Council has designated itself as being valued landscapes important for nature conservation, recreation and access. Green Wedges follow the valleys and flood plain of the Rivers Chelmer, Wid and Can and have been protected through policy in Chelmsford for many years. They have played an important role in shaping the form and character of the city and providing physical links to the countryside. 2.2 The current adopted Green Wedges boundaries are shown on the Proposals Maps for the Chelmsford Town Centre Area Action Plan, North Chelmsford Area Action Plan and Site Allocations Plan. Although all connected, for ease of reference the following descriptors are used for the Green Wedges: River Chelmer North River Chelmer East and Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation River Can and River Wid West. 2.3 The NPPF states that 'the planning system should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by protecting and enhancing valued landscapes’. As such, the Local Plan Issues and Options consultation document published in 2015 proposed to safeguard the general extent of the Green Wedges and to promote further extensions along the river valleys, subject to a detailed boundary review. There was a good deal of support for the protection and potential extension of Green Wedges in the responses to the consultation. 3. Assessment Methodology 3.1 The Green Wedges assessment involved a full review of the existing Green Wedge designation to assess whether they are suitable for continued protection and whether the boundaries should be extended along the river valleys. The report provides a reasoned justification for the decisions taken to identify areas which are currently: Within the Green Wedge network which should remain designated; Within the Green Wedge network which should be removed; and Not within the Green Wedge network which should be included. 3.2 Precise boundaries have been outlined and mapped, together with details on the characteristics and features of the Green Wedge such as areas of informal and formal open space, important heritage and landscape features and cycle and footpath routes. 3 3.3 The River Valleys were divided into 23 parcels for survey. The survey recorded the function and appropriate boundaries of each parcel, describing their character and fitness for purpose in respect of various parameters including: land use, landscape features and quality, role in containing built edges, access and opportunities for new/additional land management. 3.4 Figure 1 on page iv of the Green Wedge Assessment report illustrates the survey parcels of the River Valleys. Each parcel profile is then described, mapped and photographed in Appendix A. 4. Results 4.1 In light of the survey work undertaken, the assessment concludes that the character and function of the River Valleys varies considerably. It recommends that Green Wedges remain an appropriate designation where they provide a clear separation role between built development. For areas of the river valleys beyond the City’s built edge in the open countryside, where there is no function as a wedge to separate built form, it recommends the designation of Green Corridors. Figure 2 of the report (page v) maps the proposed Green Wedges and Green Corridors boundaries. 4.2 In respect of Green Wedges boundaries, the assessment proposes some modification to their existing general extent of the Green Wedges to better reflect their function to separate built development and the particular value and intensity of recreational resources within them. The main proposed changes are: Chelmer North Extend the Green Wedge to Braintree Road, Little Waltham Remove Roselawn Farm, Broomfield Chelmer East and Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Extend the Green Wedge from Sandford Mill to Chancellor Park Remove land around Manor Farm and Sandon Park and Ride Can & Wid West Limit the extent of the Green Wedge to Paradise Road, Writtle where it currently extends into open fields. 4.3 The proposed Green Corridors comprise the remainder of the river valleys extending to the City Council boundary. As shown on Figure 2 in the Assessment report, these are: For Chelmer North, parcels CN4, CN5, CN6 and CN7 (Braintree Road, Little Waltham through to Felsted) For Chelmer and Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, parcels CE5 and CE6 (the A12 through to Paper Mill Bridge, Little Baddow), and For Can and Wid, parcels CW8, CW9 and CW10 (the A414 through to Ingatestone). 4 5. Next Steps 5.1 Once the Green Wedges and Green Corridors: Defining Chelmsford’s River Valleys report has been approved it will be used to inform the new Local Plan including the Green Wedge and potential new Green Corridor policies and boundaries. These will be subject to consultation through the Preferred Options Local Plan, due to be consulted upon from March 2017. 5.2 The report will also inform other relevant strategies of the Council and decisions planning applications. 6. Conclusion 6.1 The Council commissioned a review the detailed boundaries of Green Wedges and to explore their potential extension. Officers consider that the report provides a robust and credible assessment that should form part of the Council’s evidence base to inform the emerging Local Plan.

  • 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.

  • The Essex Field Club
    THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB HEADQUARTERS: THE PASSMORE EDWARDS MUSEUM, ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 14 August 1995 LACEWINGS AND ALLIES IN ESSEX Even non-entomologists must recognise a green lacewing when they see one. Though there are 76 British species (including four snake flies, three alder flies and four scorpion flies) we have only one which hibernates and this is the one which is frequently found lying dead on window ledges and in garden sheds during the spring. Exactly ten years ago, back in 1985, when the Passmore Edwards Museum still had a Natural History Department, I produced a set of distribution maps for lacewings and allies in the county. These showed some 34 recorded in recent years together with a further four that had been recorded donkey’s years ago but had not been seen since. At that time, the study of lacewings had, for some reason, been largely ignored by British entomologists, though our European counterparts, especially the Austrians and Hungarians, were approaching these familiar insects in a rather more thorough manner. However, things have moved on apace in the intervening decade. The Essex list now stands at a rather more impressive 46 species reported since 1979, with a further 4 not recorded since the turn of the century. North Essex and South Essex vice counties compare well, with 39 and 41 species since 1979, respectively. I am sure there are half a dozen or so more to be discovered yet! Over the same period, no less than 8 new species have been added to the formal list for the British Isles.
