Planning committee
Decided by Uttlesford Planning Committee on 8 Jul 2026.
Refused
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the site was unsuitable for housing, had limited sustainable access, unresolved flood risks and lacked required obligation mechanisms.
- The parish council and members of the public objected over countryside location, settlement coalescence, flooding, highways, infrastructure and other concerns.
- Members voted to refuse, following debate about policy, the site’s countryside status, parking, servicing and flood risks.
