Epping Forest District Local Plan Submission Version - Planning Policy Briefing Note
A
Planning Policy Briefing Note (March
2018) has been produced by the
Planning Policy Team to ensure that a consistent approach is taken
to the provision of planning policy advice for the District,
particularly in relation to the Epping Forest District Local Plan
Submission Version, which was published on 18 December
2017.
The
primary purpose of the
Planning Policy Briefing Note
is to inform the development management
process and to provide assistance for Development Management
Officers, Councillors, applicants and planning agents. The
Planning Policy Briefing Note
is available at:
http://www.efdclocalplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Planning-Policy-Briefing-Note_Mar-2018.pdf
Additional documents:
Minutes:
It was noted that the Epping Forest District
Local Plan Submission Version Planning Policy Briefing note was
available at:
http://www.efdclocalplan.org/wpcontent/uploads/2018/03/Planning-Policy-Briefing-Note_Mar-2018.pdf
However, Councillor C C Pond was concerned
that the briefing note dated March 2018 was out of date. It did not
take into account progress of the LPSV since the public hearings by
the Planning Inspector in 2019, which had led to the Main
Modifications (MMs) consultation currently underway in the public
domain. Councillor C C Pond was of the opinion that the MMs
consultation should be read in conjunction with this Planning
Policy Briefing Note, which needed to be updated for inclusion in
the planning committees' agendas. The Sub-Committee noted this
concern and that the Planning Policy Team would be informed of this
after the meeting.

The proposed development by
reason of its design, size and bulk is considered to be out of
keeping with the area, particularly The Windsors, contrary to Policies CP2, CP7 & DBE1
of the adopted Local Plan 1998 & 2006, Policy DM9 of the Local
Plan Submission Version 2017, and Paragraphs 126 & 130 of the
NPPF 2021.
|
|
2
|
The proposed development by
reason of its siting would appear as a form of cramped backland development, contrary to Policies CP2, CP7
& DBE1 of the adopted Local Plan 1998 & 2006, Policy DM9 of
the Local Plan Submission Version 2017, and Paragraphs 126 &
130 of the NPPF 2021.
|
|
3
|
The proposed development fails
to provide adequate usable external amenity space for future
occupiers of the new dwelling, contrary to Policies CP7 & DBE8
of the adopted Local Plan 1998 & 2006, Policy DM9 (h) of the
Local Plan Submission Version 2017, and Paragraph 130(f) of the
NPPF 2021.
|
|
4
|
In the absence of a completed
Section 106 planning obligation the proposed development fails to
mitigate against the adverse impact that it will have on the Epping
Forest Special Area for Conservation in terms of recreational
pressure and air pollution. Failure to secure such mitigation is
contrary to policies CP1 and CP6 of the adopted Local Plan 1998
& 2006, Policies DM2 and DM22 of the Local Plan Submission
Version 2017, Paragraph 180 of the NPPF 2021, and the requirements
of the Habitats Regulations 2017.
