DC69: Other Areas of Special Townscape or Landscape Character

Planning permission will only be granted if it maintains, or enhances, the special character of:

  • the Emerson Park Policy Area which is typified by large and varied dwellings set in spacious mature, well landscaped grounds
  • the Hall Lane Policy Area which is typified by large detached and semi- detached dwellings set in large gardens with considerable tree and shrub planting
  • the Gidea Park Special Character Area which is derived from the quality of its urban design and architectural detailing and also its locally important heritage and historical associations.

Detailed criteria for dealing with planning applications in these areas will be contained within three separate SPDs.

The Council will also seek to preserve the special character of Havering Ridge including protecting views to and from the area.
