Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on City of London and are not the council. About us

The Epping Forest & Commons Committee is scheduled to convene on Monday, 2 November 2026. Discussions are expected to cover landscape recovery programmes, risk management updates, and the potential extension of Public Spaces Protection Orders.

The committee's agenda includes a resolution to pay tribute to Verderer William Kennedy, and the agreement of minutes from the previous meeting. Several reports for information are scheduled, including updates from the Assistant Directors for Burnham Beeches and Epping Forest, finance progress reports, and draft annual reports and financial statements for various commons charities. The committee is expected to consider risk management for Burnham Beeches and Epping Forest, the extension of Public Spaces Protection Orders at Burnham Beeches, and the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge Conservation Management Plan. Additionally, policy reviews for Epping Forest are slated for discussion. The committee will also receive updates on the Climate Action Strategy's Nature Recovery Programme and consider draft policies and management options for complementary land. Merger options for the commons are also on the agenda, alongside consideration of Woodford Green former public toilets and the acceptance of a grant.
