I do think that the sunshine makes us more aware of the beautiful countryside that surrounds our village, we don’t seem to mind taking a little longer on our journeys either by foot or car when the sun is shining. I have to admit that I do sometimes take my surroundings for granted but birds and animals do make me stop and watch or listen. Recently, while in Great Bentley I was mesmerised by 3 squirrels chasing each other up and down around the trunk of a tree. I could not help but smile at what seemed to be real fun for the squirrels. It really lifted my spirits and also made me think that sometimes we all need to stop and look and allow ourselves to be reminded that we are also part of God’s amazing creation which should and does bring pleasure and smiles to others. Every Blessing Sharon Rev Sharon is usually in COME AND JOIN US Church on Fridays between FOR A 9.15am - 11.00am. ‘KNIT & NATTER’ TUESDAY 26th JUNE If urgent please ring her on 01255 822055 and she will PARISH HALL arrange a time to see you as (VESTRY ROOM) soon as she can. 2.00 pm - 3.30pm I was invited to conduct a funeral service which, in themselves by their very nature is a time of sadness and pain, this one in particular was heart breaking. A lady in her mid 90's had lost her only son, he was her world, her main carer and supporter and now here she was completely alone and preparing the details with me of his service. The service itself consisted of me, this dear lady and the undertaker. You will appreciate just how difficult it was to conduct such a service in the light of this lady's grief and now isolation. In sharing this story with my congregation a wonderful member felt led to seek this lady out and befriend her and a good link and support is now happening there. However, I am concerned that we are living in such a self contained, self focused society that we may fail to notice the pain and isolation of our neighbours - as Christians, the words of Jesus never fail to move us when He informs us that 'the least you do unto one of these....you have done it to me' I wonder, if we can all look afresh at the folks who we come into contact with, see them with their hurt and struggles and pain and seek for a way in which we can support, help and care.

  • Essex and Southend-On-Sea Waste Local Plan Adopted July 2017
    Essex and Southend-on-Sea Waste Local Plan Adopted July 2017 Foreword Waste Local Plan - Foreword Foreword This Waste Local Plan has been prepared to help ensure we can deal with all types of waste arising in Essex and Southend, now and in the future, in a way which is least damaging to the environment and helps maintain the best possible quality of life for our residents. The Plan forms part of the statutory development plan and provides the policies for planning decisions for all forms of waste management development in the administrative areas of both authorities. All households, businesses and industries in Essex and Southend-on-Sea produce waste. Much is already being done to reduce, re-use or recycle that waste wherever possible or to find some other beneficial use for the materials we throw away. The continuing challenge we have is to introduce better, more sustainable, ways of dealing with waste whilst continuing to reduce the historical dependence we have had on landfill. Throughout its preparation this Plan has been shaped by comments from a large variety of interests – be it residents, businesses, public bodies and organisations. We are extremely grateful for all your contributions and your feedback has been used to inform this final version of the Plan. In particular we have placed great emphasis on local communities taking part in policy making and significant efforts have been made to ensure all those likely to be affected by the Plan have the opportunity to be involved in its preparation. The Waste Local Plan will help ensure that future waste needs of Essex and Southend- on-Sea can be appropriately met through sites situated in the most appropriate locations and with minimal impact on communities and the environment.

  • Countryside Jobs Service
    Countryside Jobs Service Focus on Volunteering In association with Keep Britain Tidy 13 February 2017 Keeping Britain Tidy – volunteering and spring cleaning National environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy biggest-ever litter campaign – the Great British Spring Clean – will culminate with a weekend of action next month. Between March 3rd and 5th, we are aiming to mobilise half a million people to get out and make their neighbourhood one of which they can be really proud. Yes, we’d love you to get involved. But we would really like you to involve others too. As countryside managers or workers, you may be ideally placed to help us get more people involved, and help yourself at the same time. As a charity, the public mostly recognise Keep Britain Tidy for our anti-litter campaigns but we do so much more. We work with schools, in green spaces, on beaches, in cities and communities, with businesses, local authorities and individuals. We run the country’s flagship school environmental programme, Eco-Schools, along with (Keep Britain Tidy) the Green Flag Award for parks and green spaces, the Blue Flag Award and Seaside Awards for beaches and the volunteer litter-picking programme the Big Tidy Up. You can find out more about everything we do via keepbritaintidy.org or find us on social media. Our army of 336,000 formal and informal volunteers help us on a daily basis to work towards our aims of eliminating litter, improving local places and ending waste. Without them we would not be able to make the difference we make every day.

It addresses the need to provide for minerals requirements in accordance with national, sub national and local guidance, as well as social, environmental and economic considerations. It includes development management policies to guide minerals development and identifies sites for minerals development. For many years, ECC’s documents for policy development for minerals and waste planning were known as the Minerals Local Plan and the Waste Local Plan, the latest versions of which were adopted in 1996 and 2001 respectively. These are still the current plans providing the framework for determining planning applications. The Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 required us to prepare new policy documents replacing the Minerals & Waste Local Plans.

  • Essex Minerals Local Plan Adopted July 2014 Essex Minerals Local Plan - Foreword
    Essex Minerals Local Plan Adopted July 2014 Essex Minerals Local Plan - Foreword Foreword According to the British Geological Society, on average each person in the UK uses more than ten tonnes of minerals and metals in one year (the same weight as seven cars). This figure includes minerals products you use at home and a share of minerals, metals and fuels used in leisure, retail, transport, work and public facilities. Because minerals are so important to our economy and quality of life, the Government requires us to ensure there are enough reserves to meet the needs of construction and other industries. In Essex the main minerals we produce are sand and gravel (aggregates). However, the extraction of minerals can have impacts on the landscape, environment and the quality of life of local residents. Such impacts are to be minimised through the use of planning policies, contained in this document, for the supply of minerals. The MLP provides up-to-date planning policy for minerals development in Essex until 2029. In particular, it gives certainty as to the location of future minerals development i.e., through site allocations. Landowners and mineral companies with preferred or reserve sites in this Plan will need to come forward with applications for planning permission setting out how impacts will be 1 addressed, e.g., through Environmental Impact Assessments. The Plan includes details of how mineral sites should be restored and reused allowing us to keep the balance between the demand for minerals against the need to protect the environment and quality of life. We’re challenging site promoters, in particular, to promote habitat creation as an after-use.

  • Cockaynes Wood Newsletter No
    Cockaynes Wood Newsletter No. 19/20 July and August 2013 A newsletter of recent wildlife sightings and events at Cockaynes Wood and the adjoining countryside. Bird Notes July and August are times when for most birds the breeding season reaches a conclusion, though for a few it's just starting. The Hobby, that dashing falcon which eats anything from craneflies to swallows according to availability, is a late breeder, and local sightings have been frequent enough to suggest that a pair may be nesting nearby. At the time of writing, several young Common Buzzards can be seen and heard trying out their wings overhead; they are very vocal, calling out (presumably for food) with a persistent, peevish mewing. It's amazing to reflect (as I have done before, many times) that a few years ago Buzzards were a rare sight in East Anglia as a whole, but now a daily sight around Alresford. A pair of (apparently) newly arrived Barn Owls at Sunnymead were late starters, with eggs due to hatch mid-August. Oystercatcher and Little Ringed Plover nested near but not on our site. Regrettably, the ongoing growth of Crassula helmsii around the main water bodies may well make the water margins unsuitable for breeding waders in the near future and may already have dissuaded species such as Redshank from breeding – though I have to admit that's just my theory! Apart from the resident Little Grebes (below), Coots, Moorhens and Mallards, and the frenzy of mating dragonflies, the waters are now calm and tranquil. It was gratifying to hear a Turtle Dove still singing during the re-scheduled Moth Evening (July 28th) when we were also treated to the sight and sound of a Kingfisher around the old settling ponds.

  • Local Wildlife Site Review (2008)
    TENDRING DISTRICT LOCAL WILDLIFE SITE REVIEW 2008 TENDRING DISTRICT COUNCIL LOCAL WILDLIFE SITE REVIEW 2008 Draft Issued April 2009 Final Edition September 2009 Prepared by Essex Ecology Services Ltd. EECOS Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough, Colchester, Essex, CO5 7RZ 01621 862986, [email protected] Company Registered No. 2853947 VAT Registered No. 623 4432 65 IMPORTANT NOTES Nomenclature The terms "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation" (SINC) and County Wildlife Site (CoWS) used in previous reports are here replaced by the currently generally accepted term of “Local Wildlife Site” (LoWS). Rationale It is hoped that this identification of Local Wildlife Sites is not seen as a hindrance to the livelihood of those landowners affected, or an attempt to blindly influence the management of such sites. It is an attempt to describe the wildlife resource we have in the county as a whole, which has been preserved thus far as a result of the management by landowners. The Essex Wildlife Trust and the Local and Unitary Authorities of Essex hope to be able to help landowners retain and enhance this biodiversity for the future. In recent years, the existence of a Local Wildlife Site on a farm has been seen as an advantage when applying for grant-aid from agri-environment schemes, with such grants favouring areas with a proven nature conservation interest. Public Access Identification as a Local Wildlife Site within this report does not confer any right of public access to the site, above and beyond any Public Rights of Way that may exist. The vast majority of the Sites are in private ownership and this should be respected at all times.

  • OBJ/195 Essex County Council
    TRANSPORT AND WORKS ACT 1992 TRANSPORT AND WORKS ACT (APPLICATIONS AND OBJECTIONS PROCEDURE) RULES 2006 (SI 2006/1466) ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL STATEMENT OF CASE IN RELATION TO THE APPLICATION FOR THE NETWORK RAIL (ESSEX AND OTHERS CROSSING REDUCTION) TRANSPORT AND WORKS ACT 1992 ORDER. Introduction This statement provides Essex County Council’s (ECC) criteria for objecting to the Network Rail (Essex and others crossing reduction) Transport and Works Act 1992 Order (the Order). Structure of this Statement The appendix and references detailed in the Documents section comprise supporting documentation and website links including Network Rail’s (NR) consultation plans showing their proposals including alternative routes which have additionally been annotated with ECC comments, and separate ECC plans illustrating the negative effect of each closure proposal on the public’s access to and enjoyment of the surrounding Public Rights of Way (PROW) network and showing the status of the highways used for NR’s proposed alternative routes, as well as other relevant documentation. ECC’s case is set out under a series of headings below. Objection to the granting of the Order In consideration of the closures presented in the Order ECC gave careful consideration to each proposal and undertook inspections of ten of the crossings proposed for closure as well as the proposed alternative routes* before reaching the decision to object to the nine proposed crossing closures at eight locations listed below, which were then formally adopted as ECC’s objections to specific crossing closures at a meeting of the full council. ECC also undertook Road Safety Assessments of the proposed road/verge alternatives proposed by the Order making authority, NR, who have advised that their own Road Safety Audits are to be provided by them as part of their Statement of Case and be available thereafter via DfT’s website.
