Possible new development
along the Colchester Rd
|
Colchester Road, Development |
Two sites in Bures recommended for development after councillors go
against planning advice
The outline Plans for this development
are to construct 105, three and four bedroom properties.
This will increase Bures Hamlet population by 30%
Planning officers suggested before Braintree Council's Local Plan Committee meeting last week, that sites at Colchester Road and Cambridge Way should be turned down.
The officers thought the areas had limited facilities and any development would have detrimental impact on the appearance.
The Parish Council also objected to plans for residential development.
However Wendy Scattergood, district councillor
for Stour Valley, said some sort of development was needed and suggested going
against the recommendation.
She said the site at Colchester Road, which
could provide land for 85 homes, should be approved, as well as the 1.1 hectare
site at Cambridge Way.
Graham Butland, leader of Braintree Council,
agreed the sites should be put forward for recommendation.
He said: "I support councillor
Scattergood very much as we do need some development in the north.
"The transport links and environment links make it ideal."
James Webber (co-owner) of the land has offered
the Flood Plain opposite to Hamlet Parish Council for free
Because it`s on a Flood Plain, its only use would be for cattle grazing,
also a public liability for the Parish Council
