SITE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS 8 7. MONITORING & IMPLEMENTATION 19 8. NEXT STEPS 19 APPENDICES 20 GLOSSARY OF TERMS REFERENCE LIST INTERNAL DRAFT VERSION JUNE 2006 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 We would like to get your views on future development and planning of Thurrock to 2021. A new system of “Spatial Planning” has been introduced that goes beyond traditional land-use planning and seeks to integrate the various uses of land with the various activities that people use land for. The new spatial plans must involve wider community consultation and involvement and be based on principles of sustainable development. 1.2 The main over-arching document within the LDF portfolio is the Core Strategy. This sets out the vision, objectives and strategy for the development of the whole area of the borough. The Site Specific Allocations and Policies is very important as it underpins the delivery of the Core Strategy. It enables the public to be consulted on the various specific site proposals that will guide development in accordance with the Core Strategy. 1.3 Many policies in the plans will be implemented through the day-to-day control of development through consideration of planning applications. This document also looks at the range of such Development Control policies that might be needed.

    For ease of reference topics appear as separate subjects rather than in the order discussed. Items do not appear in any order of priority, and may appear under an unlinked agenda item (e.g. AOB) Meeting Minutes 30th July 2019 1. Welcome 2. Apologies Lynn Mansfield, Cllr Oliver Gerrish, Cllr Qaisar Abbas; Garrett Doran 3. Guest Speakers Matthew Gallagher - Thurrock Council’s Principal Planner for Major Projects Matthew explained that he has 25 years’ experience in planning, worked for the Development Corporation in 2007, started at Thurrock Council in 2012 and has been the Case Officer for the Purfleet regeneration since 2011. What is Planning? Planning is the process of managing the development of land and buildings. A sustainable development has 3 aspects: economic; social (strong vibrant healthy communities); environmental (protect/enhance the natural, built and historic environment). Decision Making (Development Management) = planning applications The Local Development Plan is evidence-based, independently examined, and when adopted creates the framework against which planning decisions are taken. The Council are consulting on a new Local Plan but until it reaches the adoption stage the current Local Plan, despite being out of date, must be used. The Government provides guidance for councils via the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Government policy takes priority over a council’s Local Plan. The term ‘development’ excludes internal building work not materially affecting external appearance; and use of land for the purposes of agriculture or forestry. Not all development requires planning permission. Permitted Development (PD), with certain limitations, includes extensions to dwellings, fencing, development by Local Authorities, development relating to roads, water and sewerage, and power; and changes of use.

Aims, objectives and outcomes COVER IMAGES Clockwise from top: Children’s athletics at Hornchurch stadium; adult arts at Fairkytes Arts Centre; Harold Wood Library, one of ten libraries in Havering; wildflower meadow created by Havering Parks on Queen’s Theatre Green 2 A NEW CULTURE STRATEGY FOR HAVERING 2019-22 Executive Summary The new Culture Strategy for Havering is a framework that will inform future directions for culture and cultural activities in Havering. Previously, although there has been significant cultural activity within Havering, there has not been an up-to-date strategic context within which the diverse provision and opportunities that exist can sit. Culture touches upon many peoples’ lives in Havering and significantly contributes to the quality of life and health and well-being of residents and visitors to our borough. The Culture Strategy is fundamental to meeting the needs of the wider community. The strategy has been developed through a five part consultation process: 1. A series of seven public workshops held in venues across the borough. 2. A number of one-to-one meetings with representatives of individual organisations and stakeholders across the borough. 3. An online consultation questionnaire which the public responded to, developed in consultation with the new Cultural Stakeholders advisory group and promoted through social media and partner organisations.

    West Tilbury Conservation Area Character Appraisal March 2007 Index Page Introduction 1 Planning Policy Framework 2 Special interest of West Tilbury 5 1. Origins and historic development 2. Character analysis - General character and settlement form of West Tilbury - Building materials and details in West Tilbury Community Involvement 9 Boundary changes 10 Management considerations 10 Appendices Appendix 1 - Thurrock Borough Local Plan 1997 – 10 Conservation area policies Appendix 2 - Listed buildings in West Tilbury Conservation 11 Area as shown in the 17th list of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest (as at January 2007) www.thurrock.gov.uk Introduction West Tilbury Conservation Area was designated in 1991. The designation of a conservation area should not be seen as an end in itself. It is important that conservation areas are regularly reviewed and the preparation of a character appraisal is a part of this process. An appraisal should be regarded as an opportunity to re-assess a conservation area and to evaluate its special interest and significance. It is the defining of special interest that is the main purpose of the appraisal. The appraisal should also provide a basis for making sustainable decisions about the future of the conservation area through the development of management considerations. The core of the appraisal is the definition of the special interest of the West Tilbury Conservation Area and this is intended to provide a vivid, succinct picture of how it is today together with an evaluation of its key characteristics. Reference is made to the relevant national and local planning policy framework. An outline is provided of the steps that have been taken to involve the local community and other interested parties in the preparation of the appraisal.

  • Appendix 1 Havering Local Studies & Family History
    APPENDIX 1 HAVERING LOCAL STUDIES & FAMILY HISTORY CENTRE 2010/2011 Prepared by The Local History Librarian, Havering Library Service. Havering’s Local Studies and Family History Centre opened to the public in the refurbished Central Library in July 2011. Local Studies is a long established aspect of the library service's provision and is a significant strand in the fulfilment of the Public Libraries and Museums Act. This service has been part of the Reference Library Service offered in the Central Library and its predecessor Romford Library since 1930. The local artist Alfred Bennett Bamford donated a significant collection of local books, maps, prints and drawings to the Romford Library in the 1930s. This print of one of his drawings shows Marshalls House 1889. Bamford’s collection is the foundation of the Local Studies and Family History Centre collection The refurbishment of the Central Library offered the opportunity to create a dedicated space for this service and the individuals and groups wishing to research the Havering area and their own family history. There are two staff, a Local History Librarian and a Family History Senior Library Assistant. The service is open to the public 36 hours per week including Saturdays and one late evening. Visitors to the library are able to browse a collection of key books about the Borough as well as a range of local history journals and an extensive collection of books dealing with specialist aspects of family history. Local newspapers back to 1866 and copies of parish registers for the area are available on microfilm. A subscription to Ancestry.com offers free access to a wide range of records of great interest to family and local historians, in particular Census returns between 1841 and 1901 and indexes to the General Registrar’s record of births, marriages and deaths since 1837.
