  • Epping Forest District Council Local Development Framework Annual
    Epping Forest District Council Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report December 2005 1.0 Introduction As part of the Local Development Framework system that has now replaced the Local Plan based system, Planning services are required to produce an Annual Monitoring Report each year for the preceding financial year. This report looks at a number of policy areas, and shows the performance in each by the use of a number of indicators. This performance is then evaluated against the targets set in local or national policy, or against the policy itself if no firm measures exist. This is our first Annual Monitoring report, and as such is very much a learning experience for us as a Council. If there are areas of the report which you think could be improved, or additional information that could be added please contact us at [email protected]. In future years we plan to add a number of Local Indicators, but in this first year we have chosen to use only the criterion specified by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). 2.0 Population of Epping Forest District 2.1 Census Background With few exceptions, a Census of Population has been undertaken in the United Kingdom every 10 years since 1851. The amount of data produced has increased dramatically in recent years, particularly with the advent of new technology Epping Forest District is an attractive, predominantly commuter area on the north- eastern edge of London. The district has a population of around 121,000, of which nearly three quarters live in the suburban towns of Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Chigwell, Epping and Waltham Abbey.

    EB900 Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project 2015 i EB900 Acknowledgements Thanks go to Adele Niinemae, Hassan Ahmed, Maria Kitts and Chris Neilan at Epping Forest Council for help in compiling this report. The Epping Forest Historic Environment Characterisation Project report was prepared by the Historic Environment specialists of Place Services, a traded arm of Essex County Council. The project team comprised Nigel Brown, Richard Havis, Maria Medlycott, Alison Bennett, Teresa O’Connor and Helen Saunders. How to use this report and maps The project report looks at: a) How the historic environment of Epping Forest District developed from about 500,000 years ago to the present day. b) Broad historic environment character areas drawing together information on the historic landscape character, archaeological character, and historic urban character. c) More detailed character zones, with more information on the character of these zones including the diversity of historic environment assets, their survival and documentation, group value association, potential and sensitivity to change, and amenity value. The individual character zones summarise the information listed on the Essex Historic Environment Record. Obviously they show what is known at a point in time, and it should be remembered that new features are being identified and added to the Record all of the time. This report will be useful to developers, planners and interested members of the public and schools. To learn more about any of the historic environment assets and the potential use of the zones etc., you are advised to contact Place Services Historic Environment specialists for guidance. Contact details are on the last page of this report.
