Decision outlook

Plota predicted a decision around 13 Sept 2026; it is now day 68.

Day 68, past the statutory target. 86% of listed building works in Braintree are decided within thirteen weeks, which runs to 6 Oct 2026; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 24 Aug 2026.

Site constraints 4

Finchingfield conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Finchingfield built-up area; the 1970s provisional farmland map had this area as grade 3, 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 11 September 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.
