S E P T E M B E R 2016 THE MAGAZINE THAT KEEPS YOU IN TOUCH Est. 1893

As it is coming to the end of the summer holidays there were fewer articles than usual to publish this month so
here are some gems (not all serious) about the month of September that I hope you will find interesting.

September is the 9th month of the September has three birth flowers: the forget-me-not,
year and marks the beginning of the morning glory and the aster. Forget-me-nots
autumn in the Northern hemisphere
represent love and memories, asters represent love as
and the start of spring in the well, and the morning glory represents unrequited love.
Southern hemisphere.
These are all very passionate flowers.
The name September comes from
the Latin septem for seven, since this was the The birth stone for the month is the sapphire.
seventh month of the Roman calendar. The month The sapphire represents clarity of thought, intuition,
was named during a time when the calendar year
began with March, which is why its name no longer and peacefulness. In traditional medicine it
corresponds with its placement in the Julian and is used to treat fevers and reduce

Gregorian calendars. inflammation. Sapphire reduces anxiety and
procrastination and gives the wearer luck.
In September 2, 1752 - The British ended their use
of the Julian calendar, switching instead to the

Gregorian calendar, resulting in a major adjustment
as Wednesday, September 2, was followed by

Thursday, September 14. The correction resulted in
rioting by people who felt cheated and demanded

the missing eleven days back.

The Great Fire of London occurred on September 2, 1666.

World War II began in September, 1939, when Hitler invaded Poland.

The United States was attacked by terrorists on September 11, 2001. Almost 3,000 people in New York,
Pennsylvania and Washington DC died because of the attacks that took place on that day.

On a more trivial note!

September is National Chicken Month!
September 5th, is National Cheese Pizza Day.
September 9th is National Teddy Bear Day and September 16th is National Play-Doh Day.
September 19th is "Talk Like A Pirate Day" an International event! I hope to see
everyone doing exactly that around Hatfield Heath on the 19th!

Compensation Claims – Independent Advice

In June 2016, Stansted Airport Limited (STAL) finally agreed to begin to consider
compensation claims under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 from local
residents whose property values had been adversely affected by historic expansion of Stansted Airport.
Since that announcement Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE) has been inundated with requests from local
residents asking who they can turn to for independent professional advice about whether they may have
a valid claim and, if so, for how much, and how to prepare and submit a compensation claim.

As a result of these requests, SSE has held discussions with various firms of professional Chartered
Surveyors and the following three firms have indicated that they would be willing and able to act for local
residents in relation to compensation claims.

SSE does not have any professional expertise in this area and so is not in a position to endorse any
of the following firms or to recommend one over another. However, we hope this is a helpful starting
point. Potential claimants must choose their own independent professional advisors and, in addition to
the three firms of Chartered Surveyors listed below, there will doubtless be other firms who are willing to
act for local residents in this matter.
The text below has been written by the firms themselves, not by SSE.

Land Partners LLP and Weldon Beesly Ltd
Land Partners and Weldon Beesly are firms of Chartered Surveyors based in Braintree and Bishops
Stortford. They are working together to provide the best possible service for property owners affected by
the expansion of Stansted Airport. Those applicants who have a valid claim and receive compensation
will have their reasonable legal and surveyor’s costs paid by the airport authority. The four principals of
the firms between them have over 70 years’ experience of the property industry dealing with a variety of
property types and issues including compulsory purchase and compensation.
Simon Dixon Smith MRICS, Belinda Young MRICS, Hugo Richardson MRICS and Charlotte Balaam
MRICS will be handling claims on behalf of applicants. In the short term we will collect contact details
via our no obligation website, www.stanstedcompensation.co.uk, while we resolve the issues around
compensation eligibility with the airport’s representatives. We will be adding a function to allow potential
applicants to check their eligibility via a simple web based process. There will be a small sign-up fee for
those that appear likely to have a valid claim. Further costs will be confirmed at that time.For more infor-
mation and contact details see www.stanstedcompensation.co.uk

Snow Walker
Snow Walker has garnered what is probably a unique amount of expertise when dealing with airport claims for
loss of value. Headed up by Michael Snow FRICS the firm has a wealth of experience.
Based in Saffron Walden, Snow Walker has previous experience of dealing with Stansted Airport compensation
claims having successfully represented many local residents in the 1990s when Michael Snow was responsible for
pushing the boundaries of the areas of eligibility for compensation. As a result the firms work in this field gained
recognition on the media, including BBC East TV, Radio 4 (‘You and Yours’) and the press. The firm also
successfully represented the local authority in this field, to the considerable financial benefit of the community
charge-payer. Local surveyor and native of Thaxted, Graeme Knight has now researched the up-to-date position
and will handle your enquiries.
For more information and contact details see http://www.snow-walker.co.uk/ or call 01799 521761.

Thomson Broadbent

Since 1996, Thomson Broadbent has represented over 50,000 private individuals in relation to property

compensation claims, compulsory purchase orders and blight notices.

Our expertise has been gained from negotiating compensation for a wide range of transport and infrastructure

properties including airports, highways, railways, tramways and power lines. Notable schemes include Manchester

Airport Second Runway, HS1 and HS2, new sections of The M1, M4, M6, M60, M74, M77 and M80 widened

sections of the A1(M), M1, M2, M5, M25, and M60.

When necessary we work in conjunction with specialist solicitors, barristers and acousticians should a client wish

to refer their case to The Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber).

The firm is RICS registered and employs three Chartered Surveyors who each have over 25 years of compulsory

purchase and compensation work. See P 27 for more concerning

THE HUNDRED PARISHES SOCIETY

Many settlements within the Hundred Parishes evolved alongside highways to serve passing
traffic, initially farm carts, drovers with cattle and travellers on horseback, then passenger
coaches and bigger farm wagons. Some vehicles were drawn by six or more horses or oxen.
The busiest routes radiated out from London.
.
Roads did not have the luxury of a firm surface until the introduction of tarmac at the
beginning of the 20th century. Since the Middle Ages, parishes had maintained roads, but
increasing traffic meant that some could no longer find the necessary resources. Roads were
badly rutted, muddy in winter and dusty in summer, often only passable by encroaching more
and more onto adjoining land. Increasing vehicle size and volume of traffic, especially taking
farm produce into the expanding capital, caused much damage.
.
Parliament authorised the overseeing of key routes by surveyors, and later by boards of
trustees, who were responsible for maintaining a given length of road from the proceeds of
tolls. These roads were known as “turnpikes” after an old word meaning toll gate. The first
turnpike road in England was established in 1663 on the Old North Road, known more
recently as the A10, running from Wadesmill in the parish of Thundridge north to
Huntingdonshire. The country’s first toll gate was set up in Wadesmill. More turnpike roads
and toll gates followed in the 18th century.
.
The arrival of the railways in the mid 1800’s took much traffic off the roads and spelt the end
of economic viability for turnpikes. Main routes became the responsibility of county or district
authorities and they were given road numbers in the 1920s. Much still survives of how things
used to be if you take time to look – more next month.

built out of 12000 required.

Suggested we should give residents information regarding the holdup on the parking issue.

Clerk to forward parking consultation result to SB

Essex CC Cllr Julie Redfern is councillor in charge of Affordable housing.

BJ asked why the Stag island can’t be removed and replaced with a layby and the road pedestrianised.

Roundabout on B183/A1060 is still a potential scheme but the cost has escalated to £250,000 instead of the original
costing of £80,000 due to the relocation of the British Gas pipe under the road. SB said that as the cost was under
£500,000, it was still part of the Local Highways Panel budget, but they only have around £400,000 available for
the whole of Uttlesford.

Clerk asked SB to investigate alternative methods of traffic calming along the A1060 as an alternative to the
roundabout.

Junction 7a is not funded by ECC but by the Highways Agency.

Stansted Airport Noise

Noise Complaints.
It is important that we make known the noise disturbance the village has suffered since the airspace change of
the Dover route to the Clacton route since February 2016. There has been independent criticism of the process
by which the Civil Aviation Authority carried out the airspace change. One of the key criticisms was the lack of
engagement with the general public.
Write with comments to the new Secretary of State- Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP, Secretary of State for Trans-
port, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA with a copy to our MP.
0r write to with complaint:
 Noise Communications Team
Enterprise House
Stansted Airport
Essex CM24 1QW

The Airports telephone complaint number is still out of action due to automated cold callers swamping the an-
swer phone system so use the SSE form.

Airport Noise Compensation Matters
Many residents who lived in the village before !st March 2007 may wish to press Stansted Airport for compen-
sation over any loss in house open market value due to expansion of the airport. The rise in house prices has
been much greater in the north of UDC rather than in our area. This will not be easy and it is likely that profes-
sional help will be required in making individual claims. While Stop Stansted Expansion are not qualified to give
help they are working to produce a list of Chartered Surveyors as a starting point for individual residents to
seek help. SSE hope that this list will be available in mid -August on their web site. Obviously complaints over
noise disturbance from a postcode will be a vital factor in presenting a claim.
It will be interesting to see Uttlesford District Councils action over this issue as they are a major landlord with
many properties.

Leventhorpe Big Draw 2016
Thursday 13th October

The STEAM Powered Big Draw Festival
The Big Draw Festival is a free event for anyone aged 8-108
who loves to draw. It is an opportunity to join our local
community in celebration of the universal language of drawing.
No previous experience is necessary, just an enthusiastic
approach.
Bringing together Science, Technology, Engineering, Art
and Maths, the 2016 theme of STEAM recalls our industrial
past and the fusion of creative innovation, enterprise and the
Arts.
You are invited to join in the Leventhorpe Big Draw at our late
night opening. We will be running two drawing sessions where
you have the opportunity to sketch from our dramatic displays
of objects inspired by five elements of STEAM. Come and enter
a fascinating world of isolating mathematical shapes, crazy
mechanical inventions and medical research laboratories.
Each session will run for 1 hour starting at 6.30pm and 7.30pm.
All equipment will be provided.
This drop-in event will be held in the main school hall. Plenty of
parking available.
