This profile is a snapshot, and is intended to support an understanding of Braintree District’s Ward characteristics. These Ward profiles represent the new Ward boundaries introduced in the Braintree District by the Electoral Commission from May 2015. This has meant that it has not been possible to directly source data from the 2011 Census for these new Wards, as they didn’t exist when the Census was completed. Data for the rural Wards has been produced by adding up the Census data at a Parish level to make up the new Ward areas. 4 If you have any questions regarding the content of this document please contact Tracey Headford in the Business Improvement Team at the below email address: [email protected] About Great Notley & Black Notley Ward The Great Notley & Black Notley Ward is a predominantly rural Ward located in the South of the Braintree District and contains the Black Notley and Great Notley Parishes.

Whilst the National Planning Policy Framework July 2018 (NPPF) sets out the presumption in favour of sustainable development, planning law requires that applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The NPPF does not change the statutory status of the development plan as the starting point for decision making. The current adopted Braintree District Development Plan is made up of a number of documents, including the Local Plan Review 2005 and the Core Strategy 2011. See: https://www.braintree.gov.uk/info/200230/planning_policy/712/braintree_district_development_plan for further details.
