Mail order 'sex shop' planned for village
OBJECTIONS have been raised over plans for a mail order sex shop' business to be based at an industrial unit in North Weald.
Shazad Ahmed is seeking permission from Epping Forest District Council for a licence to operate a sex shop' at the unit at Chase Farm, Vicarage Lane East.
However the application - which states that no personal customers will be allowed - is being opposed by the village's two district councillors who are concerned at the amount of lorry traffic, delivering stock and collecting orders, that the new use would attract.
Council officers have raised no objection to the application which will be discussed by the district council's licensing committee on Thursday, July 5.
North Weald councillors Dave Stallan and Anne Grigg are concerned at the traffic which will be associated with the use.
Mrs Grigg added: "There is a right of way alongside the access road which has been used by children taking a short cut to the primary school."
She added that should approval be given then there should be a condition imposed stating that it is mail order business only and that no personal customers allowed at thr premises.
