The Park attracts over 7 million visits each year largely drawn from London, Hertfordshire and Essex but given the international status of its venues increasingly from across the United Kingdom and abroad. The Regional Park lies at the centre of one of Europe’s largest regeneration areas which includes London 2012 and its Legacy, major developments in the lower Lee Valley, Meridian Water and a range of large schemes coming forward in Epping Forest District and the Borough of Broxbourne. The Authority’s adopted policies date from 2000 and, given the Regional Park’s rapidly changing context, a new approach is required. The Strategic Aims and Policies, Landscape Strategy and Area Proposals included in the Park Development Framework are designed to respond to this changing context to ensure that the Regional Park can maintain its role as an exciting and dynamic destination which caters for leisure, recreation and the natural environment over the next 10-15 years.

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.

    Nature Conservation Assessment for Coastal Access Proposals between Tilbury and Southend- on-Sea Assessment of Coastal Access Proposals between Tilbury and Southend-on-Sea on sites and features of nature conservation concern Thursday 27th February 2020 (Sanderling wintering in Southend-on-Sea – Darren Braine) Page 1 Nature Conservation Assessment for Coastal Access Proposals between Tilbury and Southend- on-Sea About this document This document should be read in conjunction with the published Reports for the Tilbury to Southend-on-Sea Stretch and the Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) for: Special Protection Areas (SPAs): - Thames Estuary and Marshes SPA - Benfleet and Southend Marshes SPA - Outer Thames Estuary SPA Ramsar Sites: - Thames Estuary and Marshes Ramsar - Benfleet and Southend Marshes Ramsar The Coastal Access Reports contain a full description of the access proposals, including any additional mitigation measures that have been included. These Reports can be viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/england-coast-path-tilbury-to-southend-on-sea A HRA is required for European sites (SPA and Ramsar sites). The HRA is published alongside the Coastal Access Reports. This document, the Nature Conservation Assessment (NCA), covers all other aspects (including SSSIs, MCZs and undesignated but locally important sites and features) in so far as any HRA does not already address the issue for the sites and features in question. The NCA is arranged site by site. Maps 1 to 3 shows designated sites along this stretch of coast. See Annex 1 for an index to designated sites and their notified features for this stretch of coast. This also identifies features that have been considered within any HRA, due to the overlap of notified interests.
