AGENDA ITEM .6A AGENDA ITEM .6a..................... DR/80/10 committee DEVELOPMENT & REGULATION date 17 December 2010 COUNTY COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT Proposal: Construction of a combined foot and cycle bridge, approach ramps and connecting foot/cycleway between Mill Park Drive and Charter Way, adjacent to Braintree Freeport Railway Station, over the Braintree to Witham branch railway. Location: Adjacent to Freeport Railway Station, Charter Way, Freeport, Braintree, Essex Ref: CC/BTE/107/10 Report by Head of Environmental Planning Enquiries to: Naomi Allen Tel: 01245 437543 Reproduced from the Ordnance Survey Map with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty‟s Stationery Office, Crown Copyright reserved Essex County Council, Chelmsford Licence L000 19602 DR/80/10 1 1. BACKGROUND & SITE The application site is located adjacent to the Braintree Freeport Retail/Leisure park, at the south east corner of the town of Braintree. The application site is located towards the south western corner of Freeport, and is split into two sides by the Braintree-Witham train line. The Braintree Freeport train station is adjacent to the application site to the north. To the east of the site lies Braintree Freeport with access to the site via Charter Way, which runs along the boundary of the Freeport shopping area. To the south east of the site is a large area of car parking associated with the retail and leisure area within Freeport. To the west of the site lies the Heathlands residential estate. This is a large estate, which is still in the process of being constructed. Access to the site from the west is via Mill Park Drive, which runs north-south through the estate. The eastern part of the site is open area, landscaped in association with the development of Freeport train station. The western part of the site is open grassed area, accessed from Mill Park Drive through a narrow walled path running up towards the station area before the area opens out in front of the residential properties along Reed Meadows. Where the land is open, there is a group of 4 mature oak trees, covered by a group Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Mature trees and hedgerow run alongside the rail embankments on both sides. The land level at the western side of the train lines is lower than the land level at the eastern side by approximately 2 metres. During the approval of the Heathlands residential scheme (ref: 07/00985/FUL & 2005/1074/FUL), a section 106 agreement dated 29 October 2007 was put in place, which sets out, amongst other aspects, the requirement for the provision of land and a financial contribution towards for a foot/cycleway over the railway line. 2. PROPOSAL This application is for full permission for the construction of a foot/cycleway over the railway line. The crossing would be just to the south of the Braintree Freeport Railway Station. The bridge would connect the residential road Mill Park Drive, to the west, with Charter Way, Freeport, to the east. The construction would be of steel “Warren” truss design, and would be 3 metres wide, which would accommodate shared use by both pedestrians and cyclists. The level of the land is higher to the east than the west, and therefore ramps would be required on the west. These ramps would have a brick retaining wall underneath the ramp, and would have full height (approximately 3 metre) timber screening to the south elevation and a steel parapet to the north (approximately 1.2 metres). There would be steps leading to ground level from the platform at the western end between the two sloping suspended ramps. The bridge structure would include shielding and mesh to protect adjacent properties and the railway line. Where the bridge crosses the railway line, it would be steel and solid panels, in compliance with Network Rail requirements. Exact colours and materials have not been specified. DR/80/10 2 The bridge and path would be compliant with accessibility requirements of the Disability and Discrimination Act 1995 and the floor of the bridge would be covered with a non-slip material. On the eastern side of the site, a footpath would run from the bridge towards Charter Way, and along Charter Way to meet the existing footpath. A set of steps would be incorporated to meet the existing slope that goes down to the train station. There would also be a grasscrete access road to enable access to the foul sewer on the rail embankment. Lighting would be included as part of the construction to ensure safety of users of the bridge although this has not been submitted and would be developed if permission is granted. A soft landscaping/planting scheme would also be implemented, although details have not yet been finalised. The original design of the bridge was a more linear arrangement, running closer to the wall of the nearby residential property to the north. During pre-application design stages, it became apparent that there was an easement in place in relation to the adjacent residential property that required a 3 metre gap adjacent to the boundary wall to allow for maintenance. This then took the bridge and the suspended ramps away from the back of the properties to the north, but closer to those to the fronts of those to the south. The bridge itself would be constructed from prefabricated sections, and constructed on the Freeport side of the railway tracks before being lifted into place using a crane. 3. POLICIES The following policies of the Regional Spatial Strategy (the East of England Plan) adopted May 2008 (RSS) and the Braintree District Local Plan Review, saved policies only, adopted July 2005 (BLP) provide the development plan framework for this application. The following policies are of relevance to this application: RSS BLP Biodiversity ENV3 Quality in the Built Environment ENV7 Towns Other than Key Centres & Rural Areas SS4 Regional Transport Strategy T1 Parking T14 Pedestrian Network RLP49 Cycleways RLP50 Public Transport RLP52 Freeport Special Policy Area RLP57 Braintree Branch Line Improvement RLP60 Pollution RLP62 External Lighting RLP65 Landscape Features & Habitats RLP80 Trees, Woods, Grass & Hedgerows RLP81 DR/80/10 3 Protected Species RLP84 Layout and Design of Development RLP90 Accessibility RLP92 4.

The Housing Association that owns the houses along Reed Meadows was also contacted during the consultation, but at the time of writing the report had not commented. A petition was submitted, although without a covering letter. The signatures have therefore been taken to support the views held within the letter of the objector who organised the petition, views which are set out in the above table. 6. APPRAISAL The key issues for consideration are: A. Need & Principle B. Impacts on Amenity C. Design & Visual Impact D. Ecology E. Accessibility F. Highways Impacts A NEED & PRINCIPLE The section 106 agreement (s.106) attached to the development of the Heathlands residential estate requires, amongst other things, the provision of the land and a financial contribution towards the construction of a footbridge connecting the residential estate and the Braintree Freeport train station and retail/leisure park.

    Essex Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond now we’removing informing, engaging and inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond ‘I cannot think of a higher priority for the County Council than for it to strive to achieve a first class highways and transportation system for all who live in, work in or visit the county of Essex. The challenges in front of us are enormous. Over 130,000 new homes are being proposed for Essex and its borders with surrounding authorities, the travel needs of which will have a direct impact on the transport network in Essex. All aspects of passenger transport will play a key role in delivering this vision. The County Council has therefore produced three daughter strategies to support the Local Transport Plan, focusing on how passenger transport will contribute towards a fully integrated transport network. The Road Passenger Transport, Bus Information and Rail Strategies outline the ways in which we intend to improve the lives of Essex people by addressing traffic growth, road congestion and improving public transport. They contain measures aimed at improving options for travel and access to services to develop a more effective transport network. To produce the strategies the County Council has consulted widely at regional, district and parish level, with key service providers, a wide range of user groups and the general public so that collectively they represent a tangible commitment by Essex County Council to make our County a better place to live and work and to support a decent public transport network. I am committed to delivering a transport system that meets the challenges we face in Essex and look forward to working in partnership with stakeholders to bring about the transformation we now need.’ Councillor Rodney L.

These are settlements based on the ethos of ‘Garden Cities’ promoted by the Town and Country Planning Association (https://www.tcpa.org.uk/garden-city-principles) and Government but tailored to the needs and character of North Essex. AECOM has undertaken a detailed baseline review and multi-criteria analysis of various options, identifying three broad locations at West of Braintree, Marks Tey and East of Colchester in Tendring District for further master planning (https://www.braintree.gov.uk/info/200130/about_braintree_district/992/north_essex_garden_communities). These locations are considered to be the most sustainable option for the future development of Garden Communities in North Essex and provide a major opportunity for high quality, cohesive and distinctive mixed use development.
