Initially eight properties were proposed but the scheme has been reduced to five - four two-bedroom and one one-bedroom - following pre-application advice from Epping Forest District Council. Committee chairman Jodie Lucas said because of the town centre location there was no requirement to provide parking. She told today s planning and licensing committee meeting: I can t see any objection. They are raising the roof height but it is set back and not overlooking anyone.
