Planning committee

Decided by Tendring Planning Committee on 20 Jan 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because seven homes would fit the village and visual, highway, drainage, landscaping and biodiversity matters could be controlled.
The parish council sought safer and longer footway provision, while no neighbour letters were received and ecology remained subject to clarification.

Public footpath 12 m away

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.

Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.

Also on the record

Inside the Frating Green built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 1, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 1 November 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
