Planning committee
Decided by Epping Forest Planning Committee B on 1 Jul 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the amended design was considered acceptable and would not materially harm the area or neighbours.
- Six neighbours objected over overlooking, scale, character, privacy, amenity and alleged similarity to the refused scheme.
- The committee voted to refuse because of overlooking, poor design and harm to local character.
