    Wrabness Suffolk Coast & Heaths Explorer Guide Wrabness Highlights of Wrabness 1 Stour Wood is part of the RSPB’s Stour Explorer Guide Estuary Reserve and is an ancient woodland. The sweet chestnut trees in the wood have been ‘coppiced’ for many centuries. Coppicing is a way of managing woodland by cutting trees and shrubs almost to ground level to encourage many small stems. This practice is A maintained to manage the woodland today. Other trees in the wood include oak, small-leaved lime and the rare wild service tree. On the woodland floor are many interesting plants, including wood spurge, yellow archangel and bluebells. In early April, the woodland is carpeted with the white flowers of the wood anemone. Stour Wood is home to around 40 species of breeding birds, including treecreeper and wren. In spring and early summer you may even hear the song of the nightingale. In the autumn, redwing and fieldfare visit to feed on berries. Insects thrive here, including butterflies like the white admiral and the Delight in two easy walks.

  • 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.

We were hoping to launch the Big County Birdwatch around now but with recent Covid restrictions we have had to adapt this years effort so we will now have THE BIG COUNTY GARDEN BIRDWATCH running from Friday 2nd - Monday 5th October 2020. I hope to send details of this great event in the next week or so.... watch this space! Best wishes to all. Steve IMPORTANT INFORMATION Due to the new law which came into force on Monday 14th Sept 2020 regarding the number of people (Maximum of 6) that are legally permitted to meet in a social gathering, it is with regret that all EBwS field trips planned for 2020 have had to be cancelled.
