Application Schedule V Report Item No: 1 APPLICATION No: EPF/1652/07 SITE ADDRESS: 179 High Street Epping Essex CM16 4BL PARISH: Epping WARD: Epping Lindsey and Lindsey and Thornwood Common APPLICANT: Arun Estate Agencies Limited DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: New shopfront. RECOMMENDED DECISION: Grant Permission (With Conditions) CONDITIONS 1 The development hereby permitted must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this notice. Description of Proposal: New shopfront. Description of Site: This shop unit, occupied by an Estate Agents, lies on the north west side of the High Street, within the Epping Conservation Area. Relevant History: EPF/1159/87 - Installation of shop front - App/Con Policies Applied: HC6 – Development within the conservation area HC7 – Development and materials within the conservation area DBE12 - Shopfronts Issues and Considerations: The main issue to take into account is the effect of the new shop front on the character and appearance of the conservation area and surroundings. The shop front is within the Epping Conservation Area, adjacent to No.183 High Street, a listed building. This application is for a replacement shop front and the size of the shop will not be altered in any way. The proposal shows a traditional style of shop front with a panelled stallriser and divided glass windows. It will be timber. The design complies with the advice contained within the Council’s Shopfronts and Advertisements Design Guidelines 1992. It is noted that the current shop front is not a historical feature but a 1980’s installation. The conservation officer comments are that the proposed shop front is in keeping with the character of the conservation area. Conclusion In summary, the proposal accords with the relevant policies and given the comments of the conservation officer, conditional planning permission is therefore recommended. SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS: EPPING TOWN COUNCIL: Committee object to this application as it was felt that the new shop front would be detrimental to the street scene in the conservation area where there is a presumption that the street scene should be conserved or enhanced.

RECOMMENDED DECISION: Grant Permission (With Conditions) CONDITIONS 1 The development hereby permitted must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this notice. 2 Materials to be used for the external finishes of the proposed extension, shall match those of the existing building. 3 The development shall be carried out in accordance with the amended plans received on 28 August 2007 unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Description of Proposal: This application is for a two storey side and rear extension. The two storey side extension will project 1m in front of the front main wall of the house and at the rear will project 2m beyond the existing rear wall, though the proposed rear extension adds 1m across the full width of the house. Description of Site: Semi-detached, mansard-roofed dwelling built 1936 on corner site with wide plot, fenced on boundaries with little planting. Relevant History: No planning history. Policies Applied: Amenity and design policies DBE9, DBE10 of the Local Plan. Issues and Considerations: The main issues in this proposal are the effect of the rear extension on the adjoining dwelling and the impact on the street scene in relation to the scale and design of the side extension. 1. Amenity: The side extension on the east side will not affect any adjoining properties. The rear extension projects only 1m beyond the main rear wall, but this will not affect the outlook from no.11A (13) to the west, or reduce light or sunlight. 2. Street-scene/design: This is a prominent site, but the extension will be a minimum of 1.2m off the side boundary widening to 2.3m off the boundary at the front corner. This is sufficient to maintain an open aspect at this road junction. The existing end elevation of the property is very 'dated' being finished in rustic flettons and simulated York stone. It is essentially a mansard-roofed house and the proposed extension will present a more conventional elevation to the street-scene. Even with the 1m front projection, the extension will still be over 6m from the back edge of pavement maintaining a parking space in front of the new garage. The front mansard elevation will remain with an additional window, and the 1m deep rear extension (taking out the rear mansard slope) will be finished with a narrow flat section, below existing eaves level. The scheme will give the whole property an updated modern appearance and is acceptable. The amended plan reduces the overall width of the extension from just over 4m to 3.7m, thus giving a greater flank building line to St Alban's Road. The application is recommended for approval. SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS: TOWN COUNCIL – Committee object to this application as it was felt that the proposed extension was an overdevelopment which would be out of keeping with the street scene and in front of the building line. 11A INSTITUTE ROAD – This proposed extension will block out the morning light and sun from my sitting room and I find this a depressing situation. Furthermore it will less the value of my property considerably. 123 Epping Forest District Council Area Planning Sub-Committee East EFDC EFDC The material contained in this plot has been reproduced from an Ordnance Survey map Agenda Item 2 with the permission of the Controller of Her Number: Majesty's Stationery.

(Revised application) RECOMMENDED DECISION: Grant Permission (With Conditions) CONDITIONS 1 The development hereby permitted must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this notice. 2 Details of the types and colours of the external finishes shall be submitted for approval by the Local Planning Authority in writing prior to the commencement of the development, and the development shall be implemented in accordance with such approved details. 3 Notwithstanding the provision of the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 1995 (or of any equivalent provisions of any Statutory Instrument revoking or re-enacting the Order) no windows other than any shown on the approved plan shall be formed at any time in the flank walls of the building hereby permitted without the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority. Description of Proposal: The applicant is seeking permission for the construction of a single storey extension to the rear of the existing dwelling. The proposed scheme is a revised application as the previous application was refused as it was considered to have an adverse impact to the Metropolitan Green Belt due to its size and bulk. The proposed extension has been reduced in size from the previous application and now has maximum dimensions of 7.81 metres in width by 6.08 metres in depth. The extension will have a gable roof form with an overall height of 5.8 metres to the pitch of the roof. Materials will match those of the existing dwelling. The extension will provide a games room only and will result in an additional 32.5 square metres to the original dwelling. Description of Site: The subject site is known as The Old Rectory which is located just on the outskirts of Coopersale and is within the Metropolitan Green Belt. The site is irregular in shape with the curtilage of the site comprising of approximately 5400 square metres. The site is relatively level with mature vegetation scattered throughout the site and on the boundaries. A large detached grade two listed building which was once the former rectory is located towards the rear of the site. A detached outbuilding is located to the north of the main building and is located on the boundary. Access to the site is via Coopersale Common with vehicle parking either within the existing garage or on the hard surface to the front of the building. Private open space is located to the west and south of the building. Smaller residential plots are located to the north of the subject site and comprise of semi detached dwellings which front onto Vicarage Road. These properties are not located within the Green Belt. St Albans Church and the property known as the Gatehouse are located to the east of the site. Open fields are located to the south and west of the site. Relevant History: There have been a number of planning applications submitted mainly consisting of building and works to the original building, garden walls and outbuildings.

They agreed that some young people were taking drugs and that drugs were easily accessible locally, online and in schools. There was concern about the misuse of nitrous 1 oxide (NO2) and the effect it had on the community and environment. Nitrous oxide gas canisters are easily purchased online and although illegal for under 18s to purchase, no proof of age checks are required for online shopping. The drugs project included a pupil survey, drug awareness poster campaign and a clean-up day. 1 3 Nitrous oxide is also referred to as NO2, balloons, laughing gas and as a ‘legal high’. 3 Background To set the scene, the threat posed by the misuse of psychoactive substances2 has forced the government to launch a ban on these substances under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.

  • Epping Forest District Council Representations to the Draft Local Plan Consultation 2016 (Regulation 18)
    Epping Forest District Council Representations to the Draft Local Plan Consultation 2016 (Regulation 18) Stakeholder ID 4854 Name James and Waters Barbara Method Letter Date 28/2/2017 This document has been created using information from the Council’s database of responses to the Draft Local Plan Consultation 2016. Some elements of the full response such as formatting and images may not appear accurately. Should you wish to review the original response, please contact the Planning Policy team: [email protected] Letter or Email Response: Green Belt: The Council are to be congratulated that no alterations have been made to the Green Belt boundaries since 1998. However, the primary aim of this legislation is to prevent sprawl and 'releasing' extra land now will enlarge the existing holes in the Green Belt leading eventually to development cutting a swathe through the district and dividing it from Buckhurst Hill to Harlow. Thornwood Common: The proposed residential site SR-0149 for 124 homes at Thornwood Common is too big. It will impact on the 'Shrubbery' a fine building of character built by a local craftsman in 1898. It will also have a detrimental effect on the Thornwood Common Nature Reserve (est. 1996) by closing off the access/ingress to open countryside. Any development should preserve the field adjacent to the Nature Reserve and not link with Brookfield. Extra houses should be placed away at distance from the High Road, preferably following the line of the original Common boundary; otherwise the open aspect of the area will be destroyed. A good example of this is Forest Grove - replacing the Blacksmith's Arms at Woodside! I cannot see how the provision of such a large number of homes in Thornwood Common will help meet 'local need' unless the District Council actually own these homes and control the allocation to 'local people'.

  • Epping Forest District Questionnaire for Essex County Council
    Epping Forest District Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Network Review Consultation August 2016 Background In 2015 Essex County Council (ECC) began a thorough review of its financial support for those local bus services that it pays for across the County. This consultation is the start of the second part of the review and looks at 70 services across Essex where the current contract ends in 2017. We have grouped together services by geographical area of the County so it is easy to see whether your service is part of the review. Most bus services in Essex are run by commercial operators. The County Council’s role is to decide, where the commercial operators do not provide a service, whether one is needed and if it determines that one is, then to provide it. To help make this decision ECC looks at many factors including what alternatives are available, how many people use them and whether they offer value for money. The Council will not normally continue to support a service where it pays the operator £5.00 or more per passenger carried after all revenue (from fares of all types including the concessionary bus pass scheme) has been taken into account. This is the Cost Per Passenger Journey (CPPJ). A number of the services in this review were last tendered in 2009/10 and the prices agreed then are therefore relatively low compared to prices today. In addition ECC has not increased many of its fares since 2009. As a result a number of bus services in this review are currently close to or exceeding the £5.00 CPPJ upper support limit and are very likely to exceed it after tender.

  • 3.0 THORNWOOD COMMON FRINGES 3.1 Overview 3.2 Visual
    3.0 THORNWOOD COMMON FRINGES 3.1 Overview 3.1.1 Thornwood Common is situated to the northeast of Epping, north of Coopersale and west of North Weald Bassett. The settlement is predominantly situated within Epping Green Farmland Plateau Landscape Character Area (C9), with the southern edge of the village within North Weald Ridges and Valleys Landscape Character Area (F5). 3.1.2 The western landscape setting of Thornwood encompasses a patchwork of small, medium and large-scale fields that are lined with hedgerows. To the north of the settlement, mature field trees are also a feature. Similarly, medium to large-scale arable fields line the eastern edge of the settlement. To the east, however, the corridor of the M11 motorway introduces a source of noise and movement. 3.1.3 At the southern edge of the village, dense, mature woodland within the Lower Forest provides a strong sense of enclosure and also provides physical and visual separation from the settlements of Coopersale and Epping to the south. 3.2 Visual Character 3.2.1 The analysis of key visual characteristics and attributes that contribute to variations in the overall character of the landscape within the fringes of Thornwood Common are illustrated on Figure 3.1 and described in summary below: The majority of the settlement edges are lined with mature hedgerows, trees or large blocks of woodland, which create soft, green edges; There is a small patch of harsh urban edge at the northern edge of the settlement where low or gappy hedgerows within the back gardens allow short distance
