COLCHESTER BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN

About a hundred people were at the Langham Community Centre on 7 February for a presentation by the Langham Parish Council of the Issues and Options part of the Colchester Borough Council’s consultation for a new Local Plan. The Local Plan will provide the strategy for the growth of the Borough, setting out what development will take place and where up to and beyond 2032. Once adopted, the new Local Plan will replace the Borough’s existing local planning policies.

COLCHESTER BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN—1: ISSUES & OPTIONS CONSULTATION Colchester Borough Council (CBC) envisages a consultation and publication timetable for the Local Plan, leading to its examination by a Government Inspector, approval by the Secretary of State and adoption: (1) January—February 2015 Issues & Options consultation (2) March—April 2016 Consultation on draft Local Plan (Preferred Options) (3) August—September 2016 Publication of the Submission Local Plan (4) November 2016 Submission to Secretary of State (5) February 2017 Examination In the Issues and Options consultation ending on 27 February, a number of options for growth were put forward for comment and representation; they are summarised below.

Options 3A & B A separate sustainable settlement to the east of Colchester town A significant urban extension to the north of Colchester town, crossing the A12 In addition to an extension to the north, other urban development in and around the existing urban area Proportional expansion of the Rural District Centres—Wivenhoe, Tiptree and West Mersea (Option 3B adds - A proportional element of rural growth across the Borough’s villages)

Fuller information may be obtained from the CBC website www.colchester.gov.uk or from Boxted and Langham Parish Councillors. In 2014, in preparation for the new Local Plan, CBC invited submissions of sites for future allocation (the “Call for Sites”). The outcome for Boxted is shown on the section for “North Colchester” and for Langham on the section “Langham & Fordham Heath”. (See also page 4.)

BOXTED WI Members at the February meeting heard an interesting and informative talk by Peter Carrington, the lead volunteer of MacMillan Cancer Care, Colchester. He described his work in some detail and gave a full account of how money raised locally (such as in the annual coffee mornings) is spent. LANGHAM PRIMARY SCHOOL The staff and pupils of the Primary School are having a busy term following the Christmas break. In January six children who belong to the Chess Club (which is run by David Morell, a school governor) took part in a chess competition at Great Oakley School. They all behaved impeccably and did the Langham School proud in their achievements. Thanks to the hard work of FOLS and their supporters, the Christmas Fair made over £500 for school funds. Congratulations to Teaching Assistant Natalie Green on her recent marriage.

BOXTED AIRFIELD HISTORICAL GROUP

In March the Group will enjoy a presentation by Richard Turner on the Roger Freeman Collection. Freeman, who lived nearly all his life at Dedham, was the leading authority, recognized as such world-wide, on the history of the United States 8th Air Force based in East Anglia during World War II. His collection of 15,000 prints and slides is deposited at the Imperial War Museum. The presentatioin will also reveal documents and letters donated to the Boxted Airfield Museum. The meeting will start at 7.30 pm on 17 March at the Museum, which is off Langham Lane, Langham. Non-members of the Group are very welcome for a donation of £3 to the Museum’s Funds.

In aid of Chapel funds

LANGHAM WI Pip Wright entertained the February meeting with his account of the amazing John Heigham Steggall, “The Suffolk Gipsy”, who, in his long life some two hundred years ago was variously a surgeon, a soldier, a seaman and, as a “man of the cloth”, the vicar of Great Ashfield. Further pleasures await the WI members this year: a “snowdrop trip” and a visit to Boxted WI as well as attendance at the County and Spring Valley WI meetings. They will host the 100 Club Coffee Morning on 25 April.

SMARTYPANTS QUIZ On a cold 31 January evening ninety knowledgeable quizzers turned out for the annual Smartypants Quiz in aid of Boxted Village Hall funds. It was a most successful evening, £280 being raised. For the first time, there was a three-way tie, the eventual winner being decided on a tie-break question. The Hall Committee is grateful to all those whose efforts contributed to the success and of course all those who took part on the night.
