CHEAG Project List - Help if You Can!

Last Update - 1st July 2014 - Added possible neighbourhood plan to list.

If anyone is interested in getting involved to assist with the objections to the 'Colchester Fringe' proposals, below is a list of things which might be looked at.

If you fancy taking any of these on, or of you have any other ideas of things to do, please email me - there is an email button available from the 'View my complete profile' link under 'About Me' on this internet page. I will then co-ordinate so that there is no duplication of effort.

Here is the list:

a) Essex Wilidlife Trust
Contact Essex Wildlife Trust - I have a name and number - to discuss addding an objection to the 'Colchester Fringe' proposals to their objections to other aspects of the January 2014 Tendring Council Local Plan Review.

b) Photographs
Take and send photographs of valued views, see my blog post of 6th March 2014.

c) Footpaths/Walking Trails
Investigate the existence of walking trails and public footpaths in the proposed 'Colchester Fringe' area. Might these be impaired by the proposed developments?

d) University of Essex
Contact the university: find an appropriate contact and discuss their views on the proposals.

e) Ancient Woodland
Investigate the age of the wooded areas, to determine whether any would count as ancient woodland.

f) Local Colchester Politicians
Liase with, and encourage these politicians to analyse the Tendring Council proposals, and to organise residents' objections to Tendring and Colchester Councils.

g) Archaeology
Maybe discuss with local history societies, although this might be done later by the councils at the planning stage.

h) Neighbourhood Plan
Investigate the possibility of a neighbourhood plan for St. Anne's, St. Andrew's, St. John's areas - and maybe for the new 'Colchester Fringe' area.
It is not clear, though, that this will help with objections to the proposed 'Colchester Fringe' developments - investigation needed!

I have had a few telephone conversations with Joe, and some of the above came from these. Joe might assist with co-ordinating effort on the above.

I look forward to hearing from you!
