This freehold site is a former horticultural site of approximately 0.49ha ( 1.23 acre ) in size.
Nursery buildings and glasshouses were first erected on the site in 1943, with further planning approvals for glasshouses in 1956 and 1961. The former boiler house was erected in 1966.
Previously used for the cultivation of lettuce, the Nursery was not trading when the current owners acquired the site in 2000.
The owners diversified into using the site for a landscape maintenance contract business with corporate flower displays.

1.Landscape Maintenance contract business with corporate
flower displays including plant storage (B8)

equipment used for the contract business (B8).
The administrative authority is Epping Forest District Council and the site lies wholly within the Green Belt and within the 0km-3km radius of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation. (EFSAC)
