Epping Forest District Council Planning Policy Briefing Note (October 2021)
This briefing note, dated October 2021, 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 ("LPSV"), which was
published on 18 December 2017 and the Main Modifications to the
LPSV published for consultation between 15 July and 23 September
2021. The primary purpose of this note is to inform the development
management process and to assist Development Management officers,
Councillors, applicants, and planning agents. Other Council
officers involved in the development management process may also
find the note helpful (e.g., Housing, Contaminated Land,
Landscaping etc).
The Planning Policy Briefing Note (October
2021) is available at:

Site Visits
Any member who wishes a site
visit to be undertaken for any of the applications listed in this
agenda should seek agreement from at least one other member of the
Committee and then inform both Planning and Democratic Services
prior to the day of the meeting.
Additional documents:
Minutes:
Councillor S Murray proposed a
site visit for agenda item EPF/1266/22 – 121 Roding Road,
Loughton IG10 3BS. It would be of benefit to members to see the
site in relation to other residences and businesses nearby, the
parking situation and the impact of the development on a
neighbour’s garden, who had contacted the councillor. This
was seconded by Councillor D Wixley, who had advised the Planning
Officer prior to the meeting about some errors on house numbers in
the officer’s report, so a site visit would be useful. As the
vote was carried, this item was deferred to the next meeting. The
Principal Planning Officer also confirmed the report would be
amended.
For this agenda only, the site
visit wording on this item was changed to mirror the agenda text
used by the District Development Management Committee. However, as
this wording had caused members some confusion, the original site
visit wording would be used in the agendas for the planning
sub-committees, until further notice. Members asked to be consulted
on any new process and procedure before it was finalised and
implemented.

The proposed use of this site has been identified as
being particularly vulnerable if land contamination is present,
despite no specific former potentially contaminating uses having
been identified for this site. Should any discoloured or odorous
soils be encountered during development works or should any
hazardous materials or significant quantities of non-soil forming
materials be found, then all development works should be stopped
and an assessment of the risks posed by any contamination, carried
out in accordance with British Standard BS 10175: Investigation of
potentially contaminated sites - Code of Practice and the
Environment Agency's Model Procedures for the Management of Land
Contamination (CLR 11) (or equivalent British Standard and Model
Procedures if replaced) shall be undertaken. If any contamination
is found then the site shall be
remediated. The remediation scheme shall be sufficiently detailed
and thorough to ensure that upon completion the site will not
qualify as contaminated land under Part IIA of the Environmental
Protection Act 1990 in relation to its intended use.
Reason: It is the responsibility of the developer to
ensure the safe development of the site and to carry out any
appropriate land contamination investigation and remediation works.
The condition is to ensure the risks from land contamination to the
future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised,
together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological
systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out
safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other
offsite receptors, in accordance with policy RP4 of the adopted
Local Plan and Alterations, and policy DM21 of the Local Plan
Submission Version 2017, and the NPPF.
