Planning committee

Decided by Tendring Planning Committee on 12 May 2026.

Refused unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because the extension would overbear a neighbour and the heat-pump noise had not been assessed.
  • The parish council, a member of the public and councillors spoke against the application; the applicant’s representative spoke in support.
  • Members unanimously voted to refuse permission because of overbearing development and potential noise harm to neighbours.
