Refused on 9 Sept 2026 · Committee Decision · Last checked 11 Sept 2026

Planning committee

Decided by Uttlesford Planning Committee on 2 Sept 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

Officers advised refusal because the dwelling would harm the countryside and listed buildings’ settings, with no public benefits outweighing that harm.
Supporters described the proposal as innovative and sustainable; objectors raised landscape, heritage, highway, footpath and other concerns.
The committee refused the application for three report reasons and conflict with the Stebbing Neighbourhood Plan.

Site constraints 7

Grade II listed: Bran End Mill

List entry 1112771 · The pin is inside its outline · 3 more listed buildings within 150 m (3 Grade II)

Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗

Public footpath 6 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.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Also on the record

Flood defence 1 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 10 year flood); Inside the Stebbing built-up area; Priority habitat 23 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, 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 6 October 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.
