Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community Development Plan Document (DPD)

Chapel Grove should be specifically included for a select development of executive housing as per previous representations to ensure the broadest diversity of housing offer - ie executive homes for this who generate wealth and jobs for the community.

The Agricultural covenant should be removed from the property as it is unviable and uneconomical. If left with this designation / restriction, the land will become an overgrown waste-ground, dumping ground and eye-sore. With the restriction removed the land can be used for private gardens or for horses and therefore maintained in an attractive state until developed sympathetically as previous representations.

We refer back to previous representations. We now note “green route” through Crockleford and increased housing density. We object to the area being designated as area of Special Character, there are limited buildings / features of architectural interest and other similar lanes are being developed. This will result in an awkward land-locked “island” community in the middle of the overall development. The land is too small to be economical for horticulture or agriculture and should no longer be assigned as such.
