Addendum of Focussed Changes to the Pre-Submission Local Plan (Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 26742

Received: 26/11/2019

Respondent: Mrs Rosemarie Nelson

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The area behind Orchard Piece (and that part of the Blackmore village) is already subject to flooding and in view of recent flooding issues in other parts of the UK, there can be no justification for building on what is effectively a "flood plain". In addition, the additional developments proposed by Epping District Council, will impose an unreasonable strain on the Blackmore infrastructure - parking, schools, doctor's surgery etc. There are no positives associated with this proposed development.

Change suggested by respondent:

This development should be removed completely from the LDP.
