Colchester City Council Preferred Options Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation 2025

Policy PP45: Land off New Road, Aldham

Representation ID: 13854

Received: 14/01/2026

Respondent: Colchester Borough Councillor

Representation Summary:

Aldham Parish Council is concerned, as am I as the ward councillor for Lexden and Braiswick, that the site is far larger than for 15 houses. Assurances are sought that permission will not be given for more than 15 dwellings.

Aldham will be affected by the cumulative impact of large developments in Mark's Tey and Eight Ash Green when traffic is displaced from the Halstead Road and drivers become delayed and frustrated.

If ST3 used appropriate methodology, see my objection, then alternative urban sites would be preferred saving villages and green fields from over-development.
