Welcome to the
The website of the Roding Valley
Residents’ Committee.
A complete site rebuild is currently
taking place after the hosting servers were hacked by unknown parties.
Hearing transcripts have been
removed until the registration process has concluded.
HEARING REPORT - EXPECTED THIS WEEK!
Once the council have finished error checking the report, they will make it available to the public.
The council have advised us that this will take place this week.
Once this takes place, we must wait for the monthly village green committee meeting where the council will decide whether to accept the report's recomendations. Although, this meeting is a public meeting, the public can have no input.
(A council has only ignored the recomendations of an inspector once - when the council owned the land in question!)
After this meeting, if approval is granted, the green will be registered.
---
This fourth and final part of the hearing took place on the
25th February at Quality Inn, Epping. If you were able to attend,
thanks.
A two and a half hour site and neighbourhood visit took
place on the 26th February.
The inspector has now retired to consider her verdict. This
should take between one and six weeks.
Should she recommend registration, the site will be formerly
registered by the registration authority. At this point, Mr Hamidi will be
required to return the land to its state prior to application. Mr Hamidi may or
may not be granted leave to appeal.
Should she reject registration, the matter will be allowed
to go to appeal. The appeal will be conducted by the council. No input from the
residents’ committee will be necessary.
The final mile is finally drawing to completion. The
Residents’ Committee would like to thank the entire public for their support
over the last three years.

HEARING REPORT.

read his opening statement and presented some evidence. He also responded to
the defendant’s last minute statement. Three of the applicant’s witnesses were
also called and cross.
On the second day, the calling and cross examination of a further twelve of the applicant’s witnesses took place.
On the third day of the hearing, the final four
witnesses were called.
On the fourth day, Mr Onuagaluchi read his opening

questioning from all parties. An open floor was then declared where five
members of the public spoke. Both sides then gave their closing statements.
On the fifth day, a 2½ hour site and neighbourhood
visit took place. The inspector extensively noted details of the geography of
the site and extensively toured Roding Valley. Mr Hamidi and his legal team
were present as was Laurence Kubiak and about ten other members of the local
community. All parties assisted in the explanation of features however no new
evidence was accepted by the inspector.

called to a close. This inspector shall make an accompanied site and
neighbourhood visit tomorrow (Thursday).
