Withdrawn

The following pages are from the presentation by W Scott Properties at their Public Meeting on Thursday 16th September in support of their planning application in Mill Lane for 80 bungalows.

The offer of these on site facilities were produced in response to the objection lodged by Cressing Parish Council to the planning application as being the minimum requirements for the individual site if BDC decided to overrule the policies in the Cressing Neighbourhood Plan and the developing draft Local Plan and give permission for this site.  

They provide no general Community benefits to the wider community.

Around 80 residents attended to ask questions and air their views on how they feel about this further development. 

You can see the full Parish Council objection and all other documents on the BDC planning website:

Development of 80 no. age-restricted (to over-55s) bungalows; with provision of c. 4 ha of public informal open space incorporating, allotments, dog exercising area and potential land for community facility.
