A busy evening spent - first at a consultation in Nazeing - and then a public meeting in Roydon - organised by Alan Burgess (from Protection of the Roydon Area) and the Parish Council, to discuss the local plan.
Local residents are clearly concerned about the number of houses proposed and the suggested building on green belt land around, Nazeing, Roydon and Sheering. There are other worries about infrastructure too - in that the Plan does not set out much detail regarding infrastructure development if the new houses/business areas are to be built.
The crucial fact is that the current Epping Plan is a set of proposals - it is not a fait d'accompli. It is vital that local residents send their views to Epping Council, by the time the Consultation ends on 15 October. There will be then be other rounds of consultation, reflecting responses from the villages.
Please feel free to send through me, as I am also collating responses to send to the Council - and will be sending my own submission.
