Local Plan (1998)

The Local Plan (1998) and Alterations (2006) have been replaced by the Epping Forest District Local Plan 2011 to 2033 and are therefore no longer the development plan for the District.

Visit the Adopted Local Plan March 2023 page on the Council’s website for more information.

The Council’s original Local Plan was adopted in 1998. Some of these policies are still in force. In 2006 the Council adopted the Local Plan Alterations, which replaced parts of the 1998 Local Plan.
