Planning committee
Decided by Tendring Planning Committee on 3 Sept 2026. Earlier deferred on 9 Jun 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the vacant building could provide much-needed accommodation without unacceptable harm.
- Members questioned the use, fire safety, management, occupancy limits and whether the scheme was an HMO.
- The committee resolved to approve the application with a 14-month occupancy limit and a three-month return restriction.
