The Area Planning Sub-Committee East of Epping Forest Council convened on Wednesday, 26 June 2024, to discuss several planning applications. Key decisions were made on the conversion of agricultural buildings, the erection of new agricultural structures, and a residential extension.
Home Farm, Mount Road, Theydon Garnon
The committee approved the proposal for the conversion of former agricultural buildings into commercial and distribution uses at Home Farm, Mount Road, Theydon Garnon. The application had been deferred from a previous meeting to await the results of traffic surveys. Essex County Council confirmed that the proposed change of use would not harm the safety or efficiency of the local highway network. The committee agreed that the proposal would support the rural economy and did not conflict with Greenbelt policies.
Taw Lodge Farm, Epping Lane, Stapleford Tawney
The committee granted retrospective planning permission for the erection of an agricultural building at Taw Lodge Farm, Epping Lane, Stapleford Tawney. The building is intended for storing hay and farm machinery. Despite objections from the parish council and neighbours regarding its impact on the Greenbelt and local amenities, the committee concluded that the building was necessary for agricultural purposes and did not significantly harm the openness of the Greenbelt. The applicant's offer to clad the building in black weatherboarding was noted and will be conditioned.
40 Woburn Avenue, Theydon Bois
The committee refused the application for a single-storey rear and side extension at 40 Woburn Avenue, Theydon Bois. The decision was based on concerns about overdevelopment and the impact on neighbouring properties. The extension was deemed to be too close to the boundary, resulting in potential loss of light and outlook for the neighbours. The committee emphasized the importance of maintaining a reasonable distance from property boundaries to mitigate adverse effects on neighbouring residents.
