Colchester Ik the County Op Essex Local Government Boundary Commission For England Report No. 41 LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND REPORT NO. 4-1 LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Sir Edmund Compton, GCB,KBE. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J M Rankin,QC. - MEMBERS The Countess Of Albemarle, DBE. Mr T C Benfield. Professor Michael Chisholm. Sir Andrew Wheatley,CBE. Mr P B Young, CBE. To The Rt Hon Roy Jenkins MP Secretary of State for the Home Department PROPOSALS FOR FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BOROUGH OP COLCHESTER IK THE COUNTY OP ESSEX 1. We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out our initial review of the electoral arrangements for the "borough of Colchester in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of, and Schedule 9 to, the Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements for that borough. 2. In accordance with the procedure laid down in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 3 June 1974 that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the Colchester Borough Council, copies of which were circulated to the Essex County Council, parish councils in Colchester "borough, the Members of Parliament for the constituencies concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of the local newspapers circulating in the area and of the Local Government press. Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies. 3. The Colohester Borough Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration. When doing so, they were asked to observe the rules laid, down in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972, and the guidelines which we set out in our Report No 6 about the proposed siae of the council and the proposed number of councillors for each .ward. They, were also asked to take into account any views expressed to them following their consultation with local interests. We therefore asked that they should publish details of their provisional proposals about a month before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing an opportunity for local comment. 1*. On 29 October 1974 *ne Colohester Borough Council presented their draft scheme of representation. They proposed to divide the area of the district into 28 wards each returning 1 or 3 members to form a council of 60. /5« In accordance with 5. In accordance with section 7(O(b) of the Local Government Act 1972, they had exercised an option for elections by thirds but proposed that only sixteen of the wards should return 3 councillors. In the remaining wards it was necessary to provide for the councillors to retire in rotation. 6. We considered the draft scheme submitted by the Council together with the comments which had been made upon it. We noted that the draft scheme complied with the rules in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and our own guidelines, but we received comments that a small area containing 229 electors, which the Council proposed to transfer from the existing St Mary's ward to the new Castle ward should remain in the new St Mary's ward. We considered that, taking into consideration the future electorates of these wards the area should be restored to St Mary's ward to achieve a better balance of representation and we therefore modified the scheme in this respect. On the advice of Ordnance Survey we proposed two minor realignments of ward boundaries. We formulated our draft proposals accordingly, adopting the names of wards in the urban area proposed by the Council but as no names for the rural area were submitted, adopting the name of the component parish with the largest electorate as the name of the ward. 7» On 29 November we issued our draft proposals and these were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had commented on the Council's draft scheme. The Council were asked to make these draft proposals, and the accompanying maps which defined the proposed ward boundaries, available for inspection at their main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were invited from those to whom they were circulated and, by public notices, from members of the public and interested bodies. We asked that any comments should reach us by 23 January 1975* RESPONSE TO DRAFT PROPOSALS 8. We received objections to our proposal to transfer the 229 electors from Castle Ward to St Mary's ward and some comments that certain parishes should be re-grouped to form different wards. We also received a request for a revision of the order of retirement so that councillors representing single member wards could retire in groups according to location, and some suggestions offering alternative names to the ones we had chosen for the rural wards. /LOCAL MEETING 9- In view LOCAL MEETING 9. In view of these objections vre considered that we needed further information to enable us to reach a conclusion. Therefore, in accordance with Section 65(2) of the 1972 Act, and at our request, you appointed Mr W Liddell Hann as an Assistant Commissioner to hold a local meeting and to report to us. ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER'S REPORT 10, The Assistant Commissioner visited the areas which were the subject of dispute and held a meeting at the Town Hall, Colchester,, on 23 June.

The Assistant Commissioner recommended the adoption of new ward names for certain wards in the rural area and a revised order of retirement but th^-t otherwise the Commission's draft proposals should be confirmed, 12, We reviewed our draft proposals in the light of the comments which we had received and of the Assistant Commissioner's report. We decided to adopt the Assistant Commissioner* & recommowl.ationB and to modify OUT draft proposals accordingly. '13- We formulated our final proposals accordingly and details of these proposals are set out in Schedules 2 and 3 "to this report and on the attached maps.

  • Battleswick Farm, East Donyland, Colchester, Essex
    Battleswick Farm, East Donyland, Essex Historic Asset Assessment Leigh Alston MA (Oxon), Architectural Historian Leigh Alston MA (Oxon) 4 Nayland Road Bures St Mary Suffolk CO8 5BX Tel. (01787) 228016 [email protected] May 2017 Battleswick Farm, East Donyland, Colchester, Essex (TM 025 220) This report is based on a site visit of 20th April 2017 and is intended to supplement an assessment made by Dave Stenning, formerly Essex County Council’s Historic Buildings Officer, whose sketch is included. The property’s postal address is Battleswick Farm, Rowhedge Road, Rowhedge, Colchester CO5 7JP, but it lies in the parish of East Donyland (of which Rowhedge forms the principal settlement). The building is omitted in error from the Schedule of Listed Buildings but is currently subject to re-evaluation (Historic England case no. 1441357). Summary Battleswick Farm occupies the site of the medieval manor of ‘Battleshall alias Battleswick’ in East Donyland, which bears the name of its 13th century holder Richard Battle of Wivenhoe. For much of its existence the manor appears to have operated either as a grange or a tenanted farm belonging to the larger estate based at Wivenhoe Hall which it overlooks on the opposite bank of the River Colne. The picturesque weatherboarded and largely timber-framed farmhouse is a building of considerable historic interest that evolved in a highly abnormal manner. It consists of five principal structures, all of which were shown on the tithe map of 1839: a small late-17th century central hall of 1.5 storeys is flanked on the east by a much larger parlour of two storeys that dates from the early-16th century and on the west by a single storeyed kitchen of the late-16th or early-17th century.

  • Local Plan Committee 11 12 November 2018
    Item Local Plan Committee 11 12 November 2018 Report of Assistant Director Policy and Corporate Author Sandra Scott 282975 Title Neighbourhood Planning Update Wards All affected 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Neighbourhood Planning continues to remain high on the national government’s agenda since regulations were introduced in 2012. Revisions to the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations in January 2018 and the revised NPPF in July 2018 continue to demonstrate the importance of Neighbourhood Plans for housing provision and local planning matters. 1.2 Neighbourhood Planning remains active across the Borough, with a number of parish councils and local communities positively engaging with the planning process, stakeholders and officers at CBC. 1.3 Currently two Neighbourhood Plans have been ‘made’ in the Borough – Boxted and Myland and Braiswick, which were adopted in 2016. A number of other parish councils are progressing work for their respective Neighbourhood Plan Areas. 1.4 This report provides a status update of all Neighbourhood Plans in the Colchester Borough. 2. Recommended Decision 2.1 To consider an update on the progress of Neighbourhood Planning in Colchester Borough. 3. Reason for Recommended Decision 3.1 To enhance awareness of the overall Neighbourhood Plan activity and particularly the stage of preparation of the Plans given their importance and relationship to the statutory Local Plan and in a number of cases relevance to housing delivery. 4. Alternative Options 4.1 Not applicable – the report is for information only. Keeping the Local Plan Committee informed of progress and of any concerns or obstacles is beneficial to the Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Groups.
