  • Chapter 7 Air Noise
    EXD/087 (2of4) TRANSFORMING LONDON STANSTED AIRPORT 35+ PLANNING APPLICATION Chapter 7 Air Noise 7 AIR NOISE Introduction 7.1 This chapter of the ES has been prepared by Cole Jarman Associates. It considers the impact of air noise associated with the proposed development. The assessment quantifies existing air noise levels (for the 2016 Baseline Year) and those projected to occur in the future, both with the proposed development (Development Case – DC) and without the proposed development (Do Minimum – DM) scenarios. The assessment focuses on the difference in air noise effects between these two scenarios in the Principal Assessment Year of 2028, but also considers intervening years in order to account for changes in air noise over time. 7.2 Air noise is that produced by aircraft during departure and arrival at the airport. It includes the noise generated: On departure: . from the point at which an aircraft commences its take-off roll; . proceeds along the runway to the point of leaving the ground; and . climbs into the air and departs the vicinity of the airport. On arrival: . from the point at which an aircraft approaches the vicinity of the airport; . descends to the runway; . touches down; . slows down along the runway to the point of departure onto a taxiway; and . includes reverse thrust, if that is required to slow the aircraft down on the runway. 7.3 The application is for minor airfield infrastructure works, as described in ES Chapter 3 (Description of Site, Proposed Development, Policy Context and Alternatives). Through increased airfield efficiency and stand capacity, these works would enable a higher passenger throughput to 43mppa.

  • Felsted Neighbourhood Plan
    FELSTED NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2033 Respecting our Heritage, Defining our Future Felsted Parish Council Referendum Version Felsted Neighbourhood Plan: Respecting our heritage, defining our future Felsted Neighbourhood Plan Foreword Welcome to the Felsted Neighbourhood Plan (the Plan). Work began on the Plan in July 2014 with the Parish Council’s support for the formation of a Steering Group (SG) and our first meeting. The Plan is based entirely on the many months of consultation, the hundreds of comments and submissions made by you, the members of the community, to the Steering Group through surveys, at meetings and presentations and on independent research commissioned by the Steering Group. The Plan also draws on the Felsted Parish Plan completed in 2012 including the historical context of the Parish, which remains unchanged. During the consultations, there has been a passionate desire to see our valued amenities, like a doctors’ surgery and dispensary, together with the village shop and Post Office, protected and improved. There have also been strong and well-articulated objections to still further housing development. However, simply saying ‘no’ to any housing development is not an option that was ever open to us or any community preparing a Neighbourhood Plan. In complying with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Uttlesford’s Local Plan, we were required to take a positive approach and to ‘contribute to the achievement of sustainable development’. The obligation on us as a Steering Group is to present a Neighbourhood Plan that provides for the development of no less housing than the UDC Local Plan allocates for Felsted.

SSE protest against airport expansion, outside the pub at Molehill Green. Illustration Peter Riding. Molehill Green, a hamlet which is part of the parish of Takeley, bordering on Broxted, was envisaged to almost completely disappear if the proposal to build a second runway for Stansted Airport had gone ahead. In preparation for this, landscape consultants carried out a remarkably thorough analysis of the area through fieldwork, trial trenching, landscape analysis, documentary research and building survey. This article is a summary of some of its findings on one of the 14 study areas, described in the report as ‘Historic Landscape Units: Mole Hill Green’, together with material from other sources. Hundreds of trial trenches were dug across the G2 area to look at archaeological deposits, and ‘predictive modelling’ was used to assess other areas. Among many other findings, they discovered early settlement evidence to the south of Molehill Green: a Late Iron Age or Early Romano-British site, showing that people were exploiting the ‘Molehill Green Landscape History’ – Saffron Walden Historical Journal No 17 (2009) wooded plateau 2,000 years ago.

  • Regulation 18 Local Plan 15
    Regulation 18 Local Plan 15 3 Spatial Strategy 3.1 The Spatial Strategy flows from the spatial portrait, vision and objectives in Section 2 and provides the framework for the policies in the rest of the Local Plan which are shown on the Key Diagram and Policies Map. 3.2 The Spatial Strategy outlines the hierarchy of places and centres within these places and the principles for the distribution of development between the places. This includes maximising the use of land and buildings whilst respecting the distinctive character and heritage of the District, as well as developing new garden communities. The Spatial Strategy identifies how much new development will be provided and when, i.e. the overall phasing of development. It also identifies the need for new site allocations to deliver this Strategy and the new infrastructure and services that may be required. The Spatial Strategy sets out the principles of sustainable development that all development will follow in order to achieve the vision of Uttlesford. 3.3 The delivery mechanisms that will be used in order to fulfil the Spatial Strategy are set out in Section 14 of this Plan. Presumption in Favour of Sustainable Development 3.4 In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) the Council will work proactively with applicants to ensure that proposals that will achieve sustainable development can be approved. Applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The NPPF is also a material consideration in planning decisions and sets out what sustainable development means in practice for the planning system.
