South Epping Development Consultation
A public consultation has today been announced, to give the community
6 weeks to comment on the proposals to build on fields
below Ivy Chimneys Road and Brook Road, once Green Belt land.
There will be an open access meeting at Ivy Chimneys School, on 18th
June 5-9pm; also on the Town Market on 24th.
There is the possibility of online contributions, via
where more details are to be found.
The Epping Society is of the opinion that we are looking at 2 estates of
apox 450 homes in total, with a primary school and not much
else.
Promises made earlier about Community hubs, shuttle buses, on-site
health facilities etc seem to have vanished.
There is a promise of 40% affordable homes,which we welcome; lots of
green spaces, parks, paths etc. Homes to be quite advanced
environmentally.
We have many other concerns including the location and site for these
homes, access, bus stops, car parking, pressure on the Central Line
tube, noise, pollution and shadowing
from the motorway and pylons.
Whatever your views we would urge you to get to the public events, and
/ or make your voice heard in all ways possible.. This is the largest
development planned for our town under EFDC's Local P{lan. It will
happen, but we should try to make it a benefit to newcomers and
residents.
