The Local Plan and NPPF

Planning applications should fall within the guidance laid out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Local Plan. The provisions of the local plan that we last updated in 2008 are no longer relevant.

The adopted Local Plan is available on the Epping Forest District Council website at the following address
