Proposed Agricultural Barn at Blunts Farm, Coopersale Lane, Theydon Bois, Epping, Essex, Cm16 7Nt Planning Statement PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL BARN AT BLUNTS FARM, COOPERSALE LANE, THEYDON BOIS, EPPING, ESSEX, CM16 7NT PLANNING STATEMENT Background Blunts Farm, Coopersale Lane, Theydon Bois extends to 11.7 hectares (29 acres) which has been owned by the applicant, Mrs June Axon for over 35 years. The land is currently down to grass for the production of hay. The site was used for the production of wheat until a couple of years ago and is eligible for single farm payment. Existing buildings on the site are unsuitable for modern day agriculture due to location within the yard and condition. Proposal It is proposed to erect an 18.3 metre x 9.1 metre building adjacent to the boundary to the north east of the site to the rear of existing buildings. The building will be an open fronted agricultural building for the storage of hay with a lockable bay for the secure storage of machinery and equipment. It will be a typical agricultural building constructed from box profile steel sheeting with a fibre cement roof. The proposed building is modest in size and has been located so as not to intrude on the Green Belt. Agricultural buildings are considered appropriate development within the Green Belt. Planning Policy National planning policy is contained within the NPPF as follows:- Paragraph 28 – Supporting a Prosperous Rural Economy “Planning policies should support economic growth in rural areas in order to create jobs and prosperity by taking a positive approach to sustainable new development. To promote a strong rural economy, local and neighbourhood plans should: Support the sustainable growth and expansion of all types of business and enterprise in rural areas, both through conversion of existing buildings and well designed new buildings; Promote the development and diversification of agricultural and other land based rural businesses…….” Paragraph 89 – Green Belt A local planning authority should regard the constriction of new buildings as inappropriate in Green Belt. Exceptions to this are: Buildings for agriculture and forestry; Provision of appropriate facilities for outdoor sport, outdoor recreation and for cemeteries, as long as it preserves the openness of the Green Belt and does not conflict with the purposes of including land within it; The extension or alteration of a building provided that it does not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building…..” Permitted development rights under Section 6 of the GPDO would normally be exercised for this type of agricultural building on an agricultural unit of over 5 hectares, however the proposed location of the building is on a site of less than 1 hectare and within 3 km of an airfield meaning full permission has to be applied for. Acorus Comments The proposal is for a modern modest sized agricultural building to serve an agricultural unit which would normally be permitted development, however the parcel of land it is to be sited on is less than 1 hectare and there is an airfield within 3 km. The principal of allowing an agricultural buildings on agricultural land is however established within Part 6 of the GPDO. National planning policy supports the erection of agricultural buildings, which are also considered appropriate development within the Green Belt. The proposed building is modest in size and of a typical construction for the purposes of agriculture with open bays for the storage of hay and a lockable bay for the secure storage of machinery and equipment. Due to its siting there will be minimal visual impact. .

In addition there had been a build up of litter and junk that made most users walk the private roadway to the first stile along the route rather than “risk” the public footpath. This footpath used to be the start of the cross country route past the old clinker beds to Theydon Garnon Church until the “Old Foresters” pavilion and the new road were built in the mid seventies. Nevertheless it is clearly marked and documented on the Definitive Footpath map of the Parish produced two years ago by Essex County Council which in itself constitutes a legal document. (A copy of which is held and can be seen in the Parish Office.) In order to encourage the public to use the route more we formed a working party of volunteers who over the course of three Saturday afternoons in March and April began to clear the rubbish.

  • Executive Constitution
    Those who said yes to Mayor Case Comment Address 1 I work in the District Hainault Ilford* 2 I feel that this is a democratic system which reflects the North Weald communities wishes 3 North Weald 4 This is a far more democratic process with both visibility and Buckhurst Hill accountability which we have seen most recently with the London Mayor. A much better approach as the leader is almost anonymous now to the public in this area. 5 I also feel that the Mayor's Cabinet appointments must be subject Loughton to a 2/3rds majority vote of the whole District Council & that the Mayor may recommend to the District Council the suspension or dismissal of a Cabinet member for misdemeanour, & that the Electorate-especially in the Ward of the Councillor-be informed & given the chance to protest at the suspension/dismissal. 6 North Weald 7 Is there a box for the referendum? Loughton 8 Epping 9 More open democracy can only be good for the area - make the Chigwell council more accountable and make citizens feel more involved in local government. 10 Ongar 11 Buckhurst Hill 12 Loughton 13 Woodford Green* 14 I would appreciate you emailing me the result of the conmsultation. North Weald 15 Theydon Bois 16 Theydon Bois 17 Theydon Bois 18 I believe it is important for the head of the council to be elected by Theydon Bois the residents and not by council members. This is the basis of our democratic society. Electing a Leader through an internal process is open to question and does not necessarily reflect the wishes of the people.
