- A vibrant local centre
- Community facilities

Our Response
We are deeply concerned that the proposed Latton Priory Development will lead to more traffic through, to, from and around the Forest, causing more pollution and damage to the flora and fauna of Epping Forest, which is both a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
We believe the development has inadequate sustainable transport provision and inadequate Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space (SANG)
We submitted our concerns on 23rd January 2023. You can read the full response here.
