Epping Upland Parish Council Neighbourhood Plan application

The application and a letter explaining why Epping Upland Parish Council intends to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan, and how the organisation and area meet the conditions of Section 61G(3), (4), (7) and 61H(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990 can be viewed above. In accordance with Regulation 6 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 Epping Forest District Council consulted residents and other interested stakeholders on this application.
