To confirm the minutes of the
last meeting of the Sub-Committee held on 8 June 2022.
Additional documents:
Minutes:
Councillor C C Pond drew members attention to the decision of
EPF/2502/20 – Land and garages Chequers Road Site B, Loughton
IG10 3QF (Minute no 9) that had been recorded as, “Deferred
to DDMC”. However, at the meeting a motion was moved to
refuse the application, which was agreed by the Committee and then
referred to DDMC. Therefore, the decision should read as,
“Deferred to DDMC with the opinion that it should be
refused”, which was agreed.
RESOLVED:
That
the minutes of the Sub-Committee held on 8 June 2022 be taken as
read and signed by the Chairman as a correct record.

17. |
Any Other Business
Section 100B(4)(b) of
the Local Government Act 1972, requires that the permission of the
Chairman be obtained, after prior notice to the Chief Executive,
before urgent business not specified in the agenda (including a
supplementary agenda of which the statutory period of notice has
been given) may be transacted.
Additional documents:
Minutes:
Councillor C C Pond drew members attention to the revised method
of providing planning information in the Weekly List and other
lists, such as the Decision List. The Decision List published on 6
July 2022, was completely unusable because there was no way of
assembling the data, so that you could tell which applications were
refused and which were approved with conditions. He suggested an
informal meeting could be arranged with Planning to find a solution
as it had to be useful to Members and the Planning officers. The
Chairman supported this but, as it was not a matter for this
committee, it should be discussed at the Joint Meeting of
Development Management Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen.

REASONS
|
1
|
The proposed building, by reason of
its scale, bulk, mass, and form, constitutes an inappropriate form
of overdevelopment in the context of the site and its surroundings.
The building would be visually prominent and would be detrimental
to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to policies
CP2, CP7, DBE1, DBE2, DBE3 and DBE9 of the adopted Local Plan and
Alterations, policies DM 9 and DM 10 of the Local Plan Submission
Version (2017), and the NPPF.
|
|
2
|
The proposal would result in the
loss of existing amenity space for occupiers of the existing site,
contrary to policies DBE8 of the Adopted Local Plan (1998/2006) and
policy DM 9 (High Quality Design) of the Local Plan Submission
Version 2017.
|
|
3
|
The proposed
development would result in insufficient parking provision to serve
the proposed development as well as the existing property on the
site, contrary to policy ST6 of the adopted Local Plan, T 1 of the
Submission Version Local Plan (2017), and the NPPF.
|
|
4
|
In
the absence of a completed s106 planning obligation the proposed
development fails to mitigate against the adverse impact that it
will have on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation in
terms of recreational pressure and air pollution. Failure to secure
such mitigation is contrary to Policy CP1 and CP6 of the Epping
Forest Local Plan, Policies DM 2 and DM 22 of the Epping Forest
District Local Plan Submission Version 2017 and the requirements of
the Habitats Regulations 2017.

A) No work on
any phase of the development (with the exception of demolition
works where this is for the reason of making areas of the site
available for site investigation), shall commence until an
assessment of the risks posed by any contamination within that
phase shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the
Local Planning Authority. This assessment must be undertaken by a
suitably qualified contaminated land practitioner, in accordance
with British Standard BS 10175: Investigation of Potentially
Contaminated Sites - Code of Practice and the Environment Agency's
Guidelines for the Land Contamination: Risk Management (LCRM 2020)
(or equivalent if replaced), and shall assess any contamination on
the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The development
shall only be carried out in accordance with the approved details
unless the Local Planning Authority gives its written consent to
any variation. The assessment shall include: (1) A survey of the
extent, scale and nature of contamination and (2) An assessment of
the potential risks to: human health; property (existing or
proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland,
service lines and pipes; adjoining land; groundwater and surface
waters; ecological systems; and archaeological sites and ancient
monuments.
B) If following
the risk assessment unacceptable risks are identified from land
affected by contamination in that phase, no work on any phase of
the development shall take place, until a detailed land remediation
scheme has been completed. The scheme will be submitted to and
approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme
shall include an appraisal of remediation options, identification
of the preferred option(s), the proposed remediation objectives and
remediation criteria, and a description and programme of the works
to be undertaken including the verification plan. (The remediation
scheme shall be sufficiently detailed and thorough to ensure that
after remediation, as a minimum, land should not be capable of
being determined as contaminated land under Part IIA of the
Environmental Protection Act 1990). The development shall only be
carried out in accordance with the approved scheme. Following the
completion of the remediation works and prior to the first
occupation of the development, a verification report by a suitably
qualified contaminated land practitioner shall be submitted to and
approved in writing by the local planning
authority.
