Ongar Union Workhouse

Many of you will know that the old Ongar Union Workhouse at Stanford Rivers, is currently occupied by Piggotts. A planning application has been submitted to Epping Forest Council for a proposed redevelopment of the site to provide fifty dwellings, ranging from one bedroom flats to 3 bedroom houses. There is local opposition to the plan, but to date we do not know whether this application will be allowed.
