EFDC Parking Policy PDF 326 KB Please see attached the EFDC Parking Policy. Although the policy uses the term “staff” it is applicable to Councillors as well.
It is particularly important that paragraph 6 section ii and iii are noted.
ii DOUBLE PARKING
Staff who have to double park shall do so only in a designated bay, marked in blue colour, parking wholly within the bay and must display on the dashboard a card bearing their extension number, mobile number if they are likely to be away from their desk, and promptly move their vehicle when requested to do so.
Where blue coloured bays are numbered staff must park in the lowest numbered bay first. This is to allow all the bays to be utilised.
iii. FAILURE TO DISPLAY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER ON DASHBOARD OF VEHICLE
The driver must clearly display the correct card containing their name and phone number on the dashboard in full view so as to be seen from outside of the vehicle, before leaving the vehicle in the car park. |

Update on release of planning permissions being held in abeyance due to the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation During September 2019 a review of planning records identified in excess of 100 planning applications that were being held in abeyance due to the impact of the development on the Epping Forest Special Areas of Conservation (EFSAC). The Council’s latest position statement on the matter may be found here: http://www.efdclocalplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/ED101-EFDC-Epping-Forest-Special-Area-of-Conservation-Position-Statement-EFDC-October-2019.pdf.
The review identified a number of development proposals which would result in a net reduction in Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) on roads through the EFSAC - essentially these are sites where an existing authorised use is being changed to another use which would result in less traffic through the forest. In addition a number of sites, due to their location or specific use characteristics, would not result in any additional traffic through the forest, whilst a further number of applications were found to benefit from an extant planning permission (granted before the SAC issue emerging in 2018) that could be lawfully implemented as a fall-back position, and/or where the new proposal would be an amendment that would not result in an additional impact on the integrity of the SAC.
Following the review and detail assessment of each individual case, and after updating Natural England on the proposed course of action, a number of planning permissions falling into the above categories were released in the weeks leading up to Christmas and during the first week of January 2020. A list of these applications is included below.
Decisions on the following 10 applications have already been issued: · EPF/2092/18 – Taylor Piggeries, High Beech (7 houses); · EPF/3431/18 – North Weald Air Field, Air Ambulance (new hangar); · EPF/1342/18 – Spring Lodge, Ongar (1 house); · EPF/0803/19 – Foster Street Farm, Hastingwood (10 houses); · EPF/0617/19 – Utopia, Pecks Hill, Nazeing (2 houses) ; · EPF/1440/18 – Millers Farm, Manor Road, Lambourne (1 house); · EPF/1568/19 – The Orchards, Bournebridge Lane, Stapleford Abbotts (1 house); · EPF/0233/19 – Monkhams Cottage, Claverhambury Road, Waltham Abbey 3 houses); · EPF/1237/19 – The Yard Hill Farmhouse, Hamlet Hill, Roydon (2 houses); · EPF/0883/19 – Silverdale Nursery, Hoe Lane, Nazeing (accommodation for 7 nursery workers). · EPF/2372/18 – Tylers Cross Nursery (7 caravans for nursery workers); · EPF/0494/19 – Rear of Taw Lodge, Epping Lane, Stapleford Tawney (2 cottages);
The list is being kept under constant review, and Members will be updated on progress. |
