Planning appeal 3323392 at J And W Fencing Ltd, Pecks Hill, Nazeing, Waltham Abbey, Essex, EN9 2NY (Epping Forest District Council) was allowed on 28 November 2023 by Inspector Dade E, following a hearing. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposal would achieve good design, with particular regard to the efficiency of the proposed layout.
follows: ‘the submission contains the proposed site layout (LAYOUT), full details of all proposed house types and garages and the proposed construction materials (APPEARANCE and SCALE), details of internal roads and footpaths, and private driveways (LAYOUT) and details of the proposed hard and soft landscaping and the landscape management plan (LANDSCAPING). These details are also supported by a Planning, Design and Access Statement, a Highways Technical Note and details of the surface water drainage design.
