Colchester City Council Preferred Options Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation 2025

Policy PP36: Land at Earls Colne Road, Great Tey

Representation ID: 13535

Received: 14/01/2026

Respondent: Great Tey Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Great Tey Parish Council objects to the proposed allocation of 125 homes at Earls Colne Road due to severe infrastructure constraints, very poor transport connectivity, and conflict with the adopted Neighbourhood Plan. The village’s low DfT connectivity score highlights its car‑dependent nature, meaning development would increase traffic and congestion. The site is also opposed locally and was not identified for growth in the Neighbourhood Plan. In addition, the proposal would result in the loss of high‑quality Grade 1 and 2 agricultural land, contrary to local policy and community priorities. The Council therefore requests that Policy PP36 be removed.
