RE: Netherhouse Farm Appeal : Brilliant news regarding the rejection of the housing at Netherhouse Farm.The great thing is the points of rejection must also apply to Gypsy and Travellers proposals in the area, especially as all sites are accessible from the Sewardstone Road.  I would like to make a special mention for Ann,Sue and Jo who don’t know the word of defeat and it is because of their extra effort that results like this happen.

RE: Netherhouse Farm Appeal : yet again another great result for the area thanks for the e mail.

RE: Netherhouse Farm Appeal : Fantastic news how can Gypsy and Travellers live on any of that land now. A farm should remain a farm which is managed by experienced agricultural people so get the best out of it thanks again WARA without you we wouldn’t have a clue as to what is going on.

RE: Netherhouse Farm Appeal : Thank goodness! for that would of been a complete and utter eyesore Green Belt should stay as it is Green Belt. Thanks for the info

RE: Netherhouse Farm Appeal : Great news regarding Netherhouse Farm and after reading the Appeal I can understand why White Lodge/ The Limes is a much better location for a housing development thanks for keeping us informed.

RE: Netherhouse Farm Appeal : was a disastrous scheme- a terrible blot on the landscape.

RE: Netherhouse Farm Appeal : Good news! Perhaps the owners might go back to what Netherhouse Farm would be best used for ie Farming.

RE: Picks Farm: Mr Porter, Hear, Hear – many thanks for submitting such an in depth letter to EFDC. May I say we at Albion Terrace in Sewardstone Road had not even been notified of the submitted plans…. we were told by a resident of Waltham Abbey town. Upon checking the plans on line, we see that homeowners in roads adjoining and adjacent to the proposed development site were consulted, but not Albion Terrace, which looks directly onto the development site between Pick Hill and the old Fox & Hounds Pub!!!!
We have been flooded in the past from water running down the hillside where the lakes are currently sited; drainage is very poor with inadequate systems in place. Furthermore, when Gilwell Hill first opened, we lost all gas
for one week along Albion Terrace, because of the strain of heating unoccupied homes in Gilwell Hill development.
Since March 2012, the Residents of Nos. 1-7 Albion Terrace lost the facility of parking behind their homes, because of the redevelopment/change of the Chingford School (old Fox & Hounds Pub) to the now seven units for assisted living in the same building.
We have to park on Albion Terrace/Sewardstone Road and have had cars written off and accidents through speeding lorries and cars outside our homes.
We have seen the great increase in the number of vehicles since the Sainsbury Depot came; if this further development of Pick Farm is granted
a serious threat of danger to life to all who live on Albion Terrace and use the footpath from Yardley Lane bus terminal to walk to Lee Valley Campsite will ensue.
We assure you and the WFRA of our full support in this objection.
