Update on Epping Forest District Council’s Local Plan

Inspector Louise Phillips MA MSc MRTPI has been appointed to carry out the independent examination of Epping Forest District Councils’s (EFDC) Local Plan. The hearings are due to start on 12 February 2019.

The Inspector will be holding the hearings at The Civic Offices in Epping on the following dates:

12 February for 3 days

26 February for 2 days

21 March for 3 days

27 March for 2 days

16 May for 3 days

23 May for 2 days.

The Harlow Alliance Party (HAP) was the only Political Party in Harlow who raised objections to this Plan, which if given the go ahead as planned will see thousands of homes built on the boundaries of Harlow. Nearly 1000 comments were made about the plan and it is expected that like HAP many individuals and organisations will want to speak to the Inspector about their concerns.
