European Parliamentary Election - 23 May 2019 The Returning Officer is currently finalising preparations for the European Parliamentary Election to be held on 23 May 2019.

This area includes the three parking spaces within the underground car park that are nominally available (although not reserved) for the Chairman of the Council and the Leader of the Council.
Access to the area of the car park to the front of Homefield House will also be limited over the period from 21 to 22 May 2019. Normal use of the underground car park will resume with effect from 28 May 2019.

PROSECUTION OF MARK SMITHSON FAILURE TO RESPOND TO NOTICES Mr Mark Smithson is the owner of Burrs Farm Foster Street Harlow Essex but which is within the Epping Forest district. Separate investigations are being carried out by the Council’s Planning Enforcement and Land Drainage officers in respect of the land.
On 24th July 2018 a Planning Contravention Notice was served on Mr Smithson requiring him to provide details of the various activities taking place on land and in buildings on his land.
On the 16th August 2018 a Notice was served on him requiring him to provide details of the land ownership in connection with works that had taken place next to a watercourse on his land.
Mr Smithson failed to respond to those Notices in spite of being given reminders and prosecution proceedings were therefore commenced against him. Mr Smithson failed to attend at two hearings in Chelmsford Magistrates Court and on the second occasion on 2nd May 2019 the Magistrates agreed to deal with the matter in his absence.
Mr Smithson was fined £750 and ordered to pay costs of £297.50 for the Planning Offence (maximum fine possible was £1,000.00). For the Land Drainage offence he was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay costs of £382.50 (maximum fine possible was unlimited)
The Council will continue to require the information to be provided by Mr Smithson
