Any lighting schemes to carefully consider aircraft piloting. STAL Aerodrome John Farrow, • Birdstrike risk - this may require management during construction. 1.01 Safeguarding 22/06/2017 Comment Major accidents Operations Director • Cranes - should any be required for construction, a separate assessment will be required. Authority • ES to include consideration of aerodrome safeguarding and impacts on aircraft safety. David Green, Chelmsford City Director of 1.02 30/06/2017 Comment Surface access TA to include consideration of the B1008 (key route from Chelmsford to the airport). Council, Transport Sustainable Communities Air quality ES to include: • Existing air quality levels for all relevant pollutants referred to in the Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010 and National Emission Ceilings Regulations 2002. • Forecasts of air quality at the time of the commencement of the proposed increases, (a) assuming that the scheme is not started (the 'future baseline'), and (b) taking account of the impact of the scheme, including when at full capacity. • Any significant air quality effects, their mitigation and any residual effects. Water resources • An assessment should fully quantify the increased demand and how and from where it will be resourced (details in Appendix 1 of the letter). Air quality Water quality Water resources Mr Graham Steel, • Further details of the improvements that have been completed at the balancing ponds should be described in the EIA. Environment Water quality 1.03 Sustainable Places 26/06/2017 Comment • Confirmation that the improvements can accommodate the increased drainage should be given and if not, further actions should be described and discussed. Agency Ecology Planning Advisor • The current or proposed improvements should be such that the capacity of the balancing ponds have been future proofed for climate change. Construction • The applicant is expected to approach TWUL to discuss the anticipated increased volumes of foul water. waste Ecology • The potential impacts on the Pincey Brook should be identified to ensure no negative impact on the Water Framework Directive classification for this waterbody which is currently "good". • The developer should carry out a screening exercise in order to determine if the development could lead to a deterioration in water quality. • The increases in traffic volumes taken with the cumulative impact of local housing growth indicates that the cumulative impact may cover a wider area than currently assessed. • Cumulative impacts with local housing growth on the nearby SSSIs should be considered: within 5km of the airport (Hatfield Forest, Elsenham Woods and High Wood Dunmow) and within 10km (Thorley Flood Pound, Garnetts Wood/Barnston Lays and Quendon Wood). Construction waste • Reference to the exportation of spoil or the importation of fill should be made in a site waste management plan. Essex County Richard Havis, Council, Requirement for an assessment of the potential archaeological deposits surviving within the areas of development to accompany application. This will need to comprise a programme of trial trenching with 1.04 Principal Historic 08/06/2017 Comment Archaeology Archaeological potential excavation of archaeological deposits identified. Environment Advisor Advice • An assessment of the impacts to air quality will have to include a focus on sensitive ecological receptors including the neighbouring Hatfield Forest SSSI and NNR and Elsenham Woods SSSI. • We recommend the inclusion of an ecology chapter because survey and assessment will still be required of Priority habitats and both protected and Priority species. • Should the LPA decide not to require an ecology chapter, the planning application will still need to be supported by adequate ecological survey & assessment. Essex County Emma Simmonds, • A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) is also required to support this application, the results of which will determine whether further species surveys and/ or an Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) will be 1.05 Council, Ecological Ecological 22/06/2017 Comment Ecology required. Advice Consultant • As this development is classed as a major development, the Essex Biodiversity Validation Checklist must be submitted with the application. • If the potential ecological impacts have been identified, a summary of the intended mitigation must be provided prior to determination. • Where European Protected Species (EPS) are concerned, UDC needs to be satisfied that the development will meet the three tests of the Habitats Directive. Essex County Pre-application advice from the Essex Highway Authority must be sought before submitting a transport assessment (TA) in order agree the study area, scope and methodology of the TA as well in advance of 1.06 Council, Highway Katherine Wilkinson 23/06/2017 Comment Surface access the proposed EIA and planning application. Authority The scope of any FRA and Drainage Strategy should be in line with the following documents: Melissa Brushett, • Non-statutory technical standards for SuDS; Essex County Flood risk 1.07 Development & 07/07/2017 Comment • ECC’s adopted SuDS Design Guide; Council, SuDS Drainage Flood Risk Officer • CIRIA SuDS Manual (C753); and • BS8582 Code of Practice for Surface Water Management for Development Sites. Consultation Request for EIA Scoping Opinion (UDC ref: UTT/17/1640/SO) Summary Stansted Airport 35+ Project # From Contact Date Position Topics Summary • EIA to consider the cumulative impact of the proposal with other proposals associated with the airport. • Very limited reference is made to the 2015 SDP. • Planning context - no reference is made to the East Hertfordshire Local Plan. Surface access • TA - to be prepared in accordance with the Roads in Hertfordshire Highway Design Guide 3rd Edition. • Trip generation - the profile profile should consider all elements of the development and justification for why peak periods are selected. • Trip distribution - required. To be justified as part of the TA. Consideration should also be given to traffic related to the construction phases. • Junction Assessments - consider committed developments. To be undertaken for the following scenarios: - 2016 - Base Conditions; - Forecast year - Base Conditions; - Forecast year - Base + Committed Development; - Forecast year - Base + Committed Development + Proposed Development; - Forecast year + 5 years - Base Conditions; Hertfordshire Cumulative Paul Donovan, - Forecast year + 5 years - Base + Committed Development; and, County Council, Planning 1.08 Spatial Planning and 26/06/2017 Comment - Forecast year + 5 years - Base + Committed Development + Proposed Development. Environment Surface access Economy • Highway safety - need to provide detailed collision data for the past 5 years as part of the TA. Department Ecology • Accessibility - new, diverted or extensions of existing public transport routes should be considered in consultation with HCC's Network and Travel Planning Team. • Stage 1 Road Safety Audit required. • Framework Travel Plan required - presumably incorporated in the TA. • CTMP (Construction Traffic Management Plan) likely to be required. • Contact HCC as adjacent Local Highway Authority to scope out in more detail the TA. Ecology • Unlikely that protected and priority habitats or protected and priority species within Hertfordshire will be directly affected. • Any increase in indirect effects (e.g. air quality or noise) should be extrapolated to cover Hertfordshire - e.g. increases in VOCs and NO2 in Birchanger Wood (ancient woodland). Air Noise • The Scoping Report gives no indication of the likely implications of the London Airspace Management Programme and assumptions with regard to the progressive introduction of Performance Based Navigation • No reference is made to the 2015 SDP, particularly the following: "Our analysis shows that noise impacts will remain well below the limits previously established as part of the planning permission for Stansted to grow to 35mppa [...] The modelling shows the future noise footprint well below our permitted levels and lower than has been experienced in recent years." Please and encouraged to see the commitment to undertake a HIA. Hertfordshire Professor Jim Recommendations: 1.09 County Council, McManus, Director 23/06/2017 Comment Public health • That the applicant offers assurance that the HIA will be fully inclusive of Hertfordshire's residents and communities. Public Health of Public Health • That the HIA study area and spatial scope of health pathways is confirmed with the Hertfordshire Public Health team. • That any data, evidence and intelligence needs in relation to Hertfordshire are communicated to HCC at the earliest opportunity. Sarah Poppy, Assistant Inspector 1.10 Historic England 19/06/2017 Comment Archaeology Satisfied that this topic is scoped out. However, HE concurs with Richard Havis at ECC that an appropriate level if archaeological assessment is required to inform the planning application. of Ancient Monuments Consultation Request for EIA Scoping Opinion (UDC ref:

    NRA Thames 252 RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT May 1991 NRA National Rii'ers Authority Thames Region U lJ \ T lW ltS RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT MAY 1991 prepared by The National Rivers Authority Thames Region with the assistance of Land Use Consultants Flynn and Kothweii Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust Essex Wildlife Trust Lee Donaldson Associates ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 123198 A VISION FOR THE RIVER STORT CATCHMENT The river corridors of ihe Stort Catchment are a valuable natural resource, comprising sensitive ecological habitats, a landscape of considerable diversity and value, and areas which are popular for informal recreation. The Stort Navigation is of particular historical significance and its characteristics make it unique in the Thames Region. The objective of the NRA TR is to conserve and, wherever possible, enhance the value of this resource. This will be achieved through appropriate direct management of the water environment, including the provision of appropriate standards of urban flood protection, and partnership with the riparian local authorities, British Waterways Board and other interested organisations. A central part of this objective is to secure the designation of the corridor of the Lower Stort Valley and the Stort Navigation as a ’Special Heritage Area* in the statutory development plans. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aim of the Catchment Management Plan Under the 1989 Water Act the National Rivers Authority (NRA) is required to conserve and enhance the water environment. Such an important role requires a multi-disciplinary approach; catchment management planning seeks to provide a multi-disciplinary strategy for each catchment.

This advice is being provided as part of Natural England’s Discretionary Advice Service. RPS Planning & Development has asked Natural England to provide advice on the recommendations in our scoping letter dated 7th July 2017. This advice is provided in accordance with the Quotation and Agreement dated 3012 and provides a summary of our advice at the meeting of 20th October. Natural England welcomed the opportunity to meet with you to discuss issues raised in our earlier scoping response and to cover issues relating to the Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) and the air quality and traffic assessments. We would like to apologise again for the delay in dealing with your original request. The meeting provided us with greater clarity on the approach taken within the forthcoming Environmental Statement (ES) and HRA. As discussed at the meeting, due to the potential for air quality impacts on several designated sites in the vicinity, (Epping Forest SAC, SSSI, Hatfield Forest SSSI, Elsenham Woods SSSI, Quendon Wood SSSI and High Wood Dunmow SSSI) we are currently unable to discount likely significant effects to all the designated sites listed in our scoping response without viewing the air quality and traffic assessment data.

  • History of Down Hall
    History of Down Hall Down Hall was one of ten ancient medieval manors in the Parish of Hatfield, later known as Hatfield Broad Oak, which at the time of the Norman conquest, was already a well-established Saxon settlement. Popular for hunting in the neighbouring forest, the royal estate came to be known as Hatfield Regis, or King's Hatfield, partly to distinguish it from Hatfield Peverel, also in Essex. At one time a royal estate of Harold II, Hatfield fell into the possession of William the Conqueror after the battle of Hastings in 1066. At around nearly 9,000 acres (14 sq miles) Hatfield Regis was one of the largest parishes in Essex that at the time of the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), was already referred to as an ancient demesne – a demesne being all the land retained and managed by a lord of the manor under the feudal system for his own use and occupation or support. We know from records that at this time, Hatfield was formerly divided into four quarters: Town Quarter, Wood Row Quarter, Hatfield Heath Quarter, and Broomsend Quarter, across which these ten manors would have been sited. In the Norman French of ancient deeds, Down Hall is referred to as La Donne, and remarkably from surviving Anglo Saxon records, we find mention of it as Dunhall. During the reign of the Confessor, it belonged to Ulwin, Thegn of Edmund Ætheling. A Thegn was a person ranking between an Earl and an ordinary freeman, holding land of the king or a lord in return for services; and Edmund Ætheling was a member of the royal House of Wessex and the nephew of Edward the Confessor.

  • Uttlesford District Council Down Hall Hatfield Broad Oak
    UTTLESFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL DOWN HALL HATFIELD BROAD OAK TL523 130 GRADE II A late C19 mansion with the remains of gardens laid out in the same period by Alfred Parsons, surrounded by a park for which Charles Bridgeman prepared designs in 1720, altered at the end of the C18, possibly by Humphry Repton. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT Down Hall was held by Hatfield Broad Oak Priory from the 1320s to the Dissolution and the messuage of Down Hall was mentioned in 1420. The manor was acquired by the Glascock family and remained with them, later by female descent, until it was sold in 1720 to Edward Harley, later Earl of Oxford (VCH). Harley lent half the purchase price of Down Hall to his friend Matthew Prior, the poet, on condition that the property reverted to him after Prior’s death. Prior commissioned James Gibbs (1682-1754) to design a new house although his ideas were not executed. At the same time, Charles Bridgeman (d. 1738) was employed to lay out the grounds and the progress of this work, which was carried out, is well documented (British Library; Boddleian archives). Matthew Prior died in 1721 before the gardens were completed, but the work was continued by Edward Harley, to whom the property reverted. His extravagance eventually ruined him and he was forced to sell Down Hall to William Selwin, a London merchant. Between 1777 (Chapman & Andre map) and 1799 (OSD) much work was undertaken in the grounds to soften the formal lines of Bridgeman’s design and towards the end of the C18 the Hall was rebuilt in a plain Classical style for Mrs.
