Application progress
Refused on 8 Jul 2026 · Committee Decision · Last checked 19 Jul 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Tendring Planning Committee on 7 Jul 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the change of use was considered unlikely to harm the area, heritage, highways, neighbours, drainage, ecology or biodiversity.
- Residents objected over character, appearance, residential amenity, highways, parking, housing loss and precedent, while two speakers opposed the application.
- The committee resolved to refuse permission because of activity, comings and goings, and insufficient evidence protecting neighbouring amenity.
