Evidence (Page 45) - whilst the Essex Historic Environment Record includes details of all listed buildings, scheduled monuments, designated and other non-designated heritage assets it does not provide an assessment of the significance of those heritage assets. Essex County Council has undertaken an Historic Environment Characterisation assessment for most of the local authorities in Essex, which have been used in the consideration of both emerging spatial strategies and the determination of planning applications. This assessment provides a planning tool which gives an overview of the historic environment character and significance.

Support subject to amendments
Proposed amendment(s): The final paragraph should be amended so that the words 'to protect or enhance' are substituted for 'to maintain or, where possible, enhance'. This is a more positive approach which is likely to ensure a higher standard of development in conservation areas.

Request the following sentence added to the end of this section "It will introduce a procedure to enable buildings of historical and architectural interest to be Locally Listed". Please also see our comments on DM20.
We believe that this is an important core policy and that there is an immediate need for a procedure to be introduced.

Support the Parish Council's standpoint of protecting the Green Belt, Conservation Areas and incorporating the Village Design Statement into the LDP.
I support the Parish Council's standpoint of protecting the Green Belt, Conservation Areas and incorporating the Village Design Statement into the LDP.
I cannot support building a development of 130 homes in Mountnessing on the site of the Ingatestone Garden Centre. This would go against the coalescence of the two villages and would put too much pressure on the infrastructure of Ingatestone - particularly sewerage, transport and medical facilities. A better site would be Thoby Priory.
I am also against the increasing trend of "back garden development" which we seem to be seeing in Ingatestone.

I would like to see some policies with respect to preserving the character of the Hutton Mount estate; specifically the low density of housing, the arcadian nature with green verges, trees and hedges, the mass and style of the buildings and architectural styles (Keep inline with existing properties)
A free parking area would encourage parking away from residential streets and possible Saturday yellow like to keep streets car free.

There is no mention of the Thames Chase Community Forest within this policy. The Thames Chase Plan supports the principles of this core policy and is a material consideration, and therefore reference to this Plan should be made. The Thames Chase Trust should be added to the list of partners under delivery.

This policy is broadly supported, especially in respect of (d) "conserving and enhancing biodiversity and habitats through creation of new habitats" - clear links to the relevant section of the NPPF and acknowledged.

Members of the Hutton Mount Association are concerned that there appears to be no reference, directly or indirectly in the proposed Local Plan Preferred Options 2015-2030 to retain and preserve the special and distinctive character of the area which has been recognised by successive generations of Councilors, as well as, by the Planning Inspectorate as being worthy of protection.
Policy H15 of the existing Replacement Local Plan (2005) provides this guidance.
Can we please have a written response dealing with our concern in full together with suggestions as to how they can be addressed.
Please refer to attached letters for further information

The character of the existing village would change materially given the Preferred Option is to treble the Village's size, increase density and impact on the landscape character of the area. BBC Landscape assessment has regard to a) Thorndon Country Park and seeking to "protect and enhance positive features that are essential in contributing to local distinctiveness, conserving existing views and b) north of the A127 - ensuring that potential new development at the fringes of Brentwood or other small settlement [i.e. West Horndon] is not visually intrusive within surrounding landscape." Preferred Option appears to contradict this assessment.

Policy welcomed. Would be appropriate to add to part c) '....and their settings in order to conserve their significance' to align wording with the NPPF. Policy could also indicate how a positive strategy for the historic environment will be actively pursued (para 126, NPPF). Reference could be made to ensuring heritage assets are kept in viable use, and their future not put in jeopardy by unsympathetic development.
Consider preparing a heritage strategy to underpin and inform historic environment policies.
Suggest historic environment indicators should include the number of heritage assets at risk (Listed buildings/conservation areas, scheduled monuments/Parks and Gardens).
