North East London Developments Require HRA

Recent definition of the Epping Forest SAC Zone of Influence of 6.2km has caught out many developers north east of London.  This means that a Stage 1 Habit Regulation Assessment has to be prepared if a site falls within this area and further consultation and co-ordination undertaken with Local Planning Authorities.

The issue with the Epping Forest is both increased recreational pressure and air quality changes if developments create more traffic in the vicinity.
