Application EPF/2501/24
A new special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school with playing fields.
Conversion of the existing college building to residential housing and partial demolition of outbuildings.
A flexible Class F2 space and associated works.
A 3G pitch for Buckhurst Hill Football Club (BHFC), owned by BHFC!
Hi all,
The developers have submitted plans for GGSK, which will result in the loss of three pitches we currently rent. However, this proposal offers opportunities:
- A new 3G pitch at the GGSK site, owned by BHFC.
- Reduced match cancellations due to poor weather.
- All BHFC teams training on-site with our own state-of-the-art facility.
- Improved match-day experience with a clubhouse extension and better facilities.
- On-site college courses for our players, cutting travel times.
- Increased inclusivity: Disability football, walking football, and more.
- A growing community on our doorstep, with new housing and a SEND school.
📅 Deadline: All comments must be submitted by the end of January.
Throughout January, you have the right to submit letters to the local council using email address appcomment@eppingforestdc.gov.uk and remember to add the planning reference number – Application EPF/2501/24
