GB18 The Former Radio Station at North Weald Bassett

Proposals for the reuse and development of the site of the former radio station at North Weald Bassett will be required to:

  1. maintain and improve public access for walkers and horse-riders;
  2. maintain the openness, rurality and tranquillity of the area, and make provision for a pocket park within easy access of the village;
  3. respect the setting of the scheduled ancient monument (including the demolition and removal of the adjacent radio station buildings) with landscape improvements;
  4. make provision for a pay-and-play golf course;
  5. make provision for any necessary flood alleviation scheme;
  6. retain the bowling club and its facilities or ensure their replacement;
  7. maintain the green wedge leading towards North Weald station.

The Council may grant planning permission for development east of Station Road, as replacement for the former radio station buildings, in the context of an acceptable scheme for the whole site which satisfied criteria (1)-(7) above.
