Planning The property falls within the jurisdiction of Epping Forest District Council. None of the buildings on site are statutorily or locally listed and there are no listed buildings in the immediate vicinity, nor is the site located within a Conservation Area. A planning application was refused consent in October 2016 for a six storey residential scheme to provide 30 residential units. The reasons for refusal were: Height, bulk, scale and unsympathetic design in relation to
surrounding buildings. Overshadowing of windows and space in relation to the
Loughton Methodist Church and Hall. A copy of the full decision notice is available in the dataroom.
Robert Hutson Architect’s impression of the revised scheme
A further pre-applictaion meeting was held with the Local Planning Authority in April 2017 to discuss a revised scheme produced by Robert Hutson Architects which sought to address the reasons for refusal. This scheme proposes the redevelopment of the site to provide 25 residential units (10 x 1 Bed, 13 x 2 Bed, 2 x 3 Bed) with a Net Sales Area of 1,628 sq m (17,528 sq ft) and 23 car parking spaces. The scheme extends to five storeys in height, with the height and massing reduced in sections of the site close to neighbouring properties. Epping Forest District Council provided positive feedback on the revised scheme. A formal pre-application response will be made available in the dataroom when it is received.
