History

I have edited the History section of this article, and have deleted the section claiming that there was “considerable high level discussions” about extending the Central Line to Epping via Theydon Bois. I have deleted it firstly as no one has been able to provide a citation to back-up these claims since June 2013; and secondly as the Wiki article for the 1935-40 New Works Programme makes no mention of the claim, but in fact confirms the plans where always for the Central Line to be extended from Stratford to Epping via Theydon Bois.(Spymo (talk) 16:03, 7 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Inaccuracies in edit added on 7 Aug 2015

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Theydon Bois tube station. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The anonymous addition to the "History" section dated 08:59, 7 August 2015 is both pejorative and grossly factually inaccurate. It says:

"In 2015, the local NIMBY group "TBAG" successfully prevented planning permission for a new 80-space commuter car park sought by TfL on land to the east of the station."

1. "NIMBY" is a pejorative term. TBAG is the Theydon Bois Action Group (http://www.theydonbois-actiongroup.co.uk), which has the stated aim of protecting the Green Belt around Theydon Bois. The Green Belt has protection in law, but it requires constant vigilance on the part of concerned citizens to ensure that the law is adhered to. The land on which TfL planned to build a car park is in the Green Belt and therefore the process of lawful development requires close scrutiny.

2. TBAG have not "prevented planning permission". Reading the linked local news article, and previous articles, will show that TfL intended to build on the land *without* obtaining planning permission. TfL asserted that they had Permitted Development Rights under Victorian railway legislation and the local authority (Epping Forest District Council) agreed. TBAG disagreed, took legal advice and applied for a Judicial Review of EFDC's decision. Immediately on issue of the JR in the High Court EFDC sought an out of court settlement with an undertaking from TfL that they would not develop any station commuter car park without first obtaining grant of full planning permission.
