Approved by Fola Ogunyoye Date/initials approval …………………. …………………. IMPORTANT GUIDANCE TO THE USE OF THIS WATER CYCLE STUDY The Haven Gateway water Cycle Study was undertaken as a sub-regional study which covered a number of local authority areas. As such the level of detail entered in to for the study may be lower than a study carried out at a local planning authority or development area. The Stage 2 of the study was prepared over a period of 18 months from May 2008 to October 2009. During this period there have been a number of developing initiatives, particularly within the planning policy development, and the local authorities are at various stages within the processes which has meant that differing levels of information have been available across the sub-region. The report is based primarily on data valid at the end of 2008 and has not, in general, included changes to data or policies since that date.

    Essex Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond now we’removing informing, engaging and inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond ‘I cannot think of a higher priority for the County Council than for it to strive to achieve a first class highways and transportation system for all who live in, work in or visit the county of Essex. The challenges in front of us are enormous. Over 130,000 new homes are being proposed for Essex and its borders with surrounding authorities, the travel needs of which will have a direct impact on the transport network in Essex. All aspects of passenger transport will play a key role in delivering this vision. The County Council has therefore produced three daughter strategies to support the Local Transport Plan, focusing on how passenger transport will contribute towards a fully integrated transport network. The Road Passenger Transport, Bus Information and Rail Strategies outline the ways in which we intend to improve the lives of Essex people by addressing traffic growth, road congestion and improving public transport. They contain measures aimed at improving options for travel and access to services to develop a more effective transport network. To produce the strategies the County Council has consulted widely at regional, district and parish level, with key service providers, a wide range of user groups and the general public so that collectively they represent a tangible commitment by Essex County Council to make our County a better place to live and work and to support a decent public transport network. I am committed to delivering a transport system that meets the challenges we face in Essex and look forward to working in partnership with stakeholders to bring about the transformation we now need.’ Councillor Rodney L.

However, its effectiveness depends upon the way in which it is managed. This is not simply a matter of controls being exercised by the District Council, there are incentives too, and significant contributions to be made by local businesses, residents and community groups. The purpose of the plan, therefore, is to show how each can play a part in making Kirby-le-Soken a better place to live in, to work in and to visit.

  • Legal & Committee Services
    Appendix Anglia Level Crossing Reduction Strategy - Preferred Options Colchester Borough Council - detailed comments on Network Rail’s proposals The Main Line – London to Norwich • E25 Church 2 Copford/Marks Tey –no objection to closure The crossing is currently closed. The footpath which serves it has already been severed by the construction of the A12. An alternative route is already in place, and an additional route linking the footpath via Turkey Cock Lane is proposed. • E23 Long Green Marks Tey – no objection to closure The crossing has been replaced recently with a bridge. However we note that the design of the bridge used here is very functional and its form is very intrusive on the local environment. It is suggested that Network Rail seek an improved design for future structures used elsewhere. • E24 Church 1 Marks Tey – no objection to closure The crossing closed in 1989. The alternative route is via the new bridge 300m to the west. Sunshine Coast Line – Colchester to Clacton branch line • E 41 Paget Road – CBC does not object but seeks improvements to the alternative pedestrian routes. This crossing is used by a large number of local residents of Wivenhoe (approximately 220 a day). The alternative to the Paget Road crossing is Anglesea Road and High Street bridges approximately 90m and 180m east and west of the current crossing point. Anglesea Road is an unmade and unadopted road and Queens Road has an incline leading to Anglesea Road, making it difficult for less able people to negotiate. The alternative crossing point is the High Street bridge.
