Boundary review changes confirmed – now work can restart on Appraisals

The recent consultation on proposed boundary changes for the three Loughton Hills Conservation Areas were supported by most respondents according to Maria Kitts, the council’s conservation officer.

The changes, which can be seen in detail by clicking here, suggest both inclusions, such as the top of Pump Hill, and exclusions around Wroths Path. The council did not accept removal of the length of houses on the forest side after the Clay Ride.

Work on the appraisals has been delayed during consultation on the boundary change proposals but according to Ms Kitts this will now be restarted “as urgent current work on planning permissions allows”.  Both the Appraisals prepared by the Hills Amenity Society and those in draft form prepared by the Council can be viewed here.
