Loughton Town Council neighbourhood plan

Current status

Loughton Town Council is currently preparing their draft neighbourhood plan.

Approval of the area application

Following the close of the 7-week consultation period, Epping Forest District Council considered all the comments received and prepared a report and recommendation to take to the Director of Neighbourhoods for a delegated decision, which recommended approval of the neighbourhood plan area application. To comply with Regulation 7 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Epping Forest District Council is publicising the following details:

  • The name of the neighbourhood area: Loughton neighbourhood area
  • The name of the relevant body who applied for the designation: Loughton Town Council

The application and a letter explaining why Loughton Town 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. The consultation ran for a 7-week period, commencing from Monday 9 February 2015 to 27 March 2015. Regulation 6, mentioned above, required that LPAs consult for no less than 6 weeks, however due to technical difficulties the consultation on the Loughton neighbourhood area was extended for an additional week. This was not a consultation on the neighbourhood plan itself, but merely the identification of the area for which the parish or town council wished to prepare a neighbourhood development plan.
