Bellway Homes Ltd Reserved matters application for 351 dwellings, landscaping and infrastructure
Committee strongly objected to this application. It was felt that this was an overdevelopment, and that there should be more family housing and less flats within a more natural environment. It was also felt that there could be problems with the access route. The plans as presented were extremely unsocial except for one small area to the front bordering with B181. Committee also felt that the infrastructure was not in place were this to proceed.
Committee highlighted another area of Epping (Theydon Grove) where the outcome of the development had been well thought out. They felt that the opportunity for a flagship development in character with the town in this part of Epping had been lost.
