Colchester City Council Preferred Options Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation 2025
Policy PP32: Land North of Halstead Road and West of Fiddlers Wood Eight Ash Green
Representation ID: 12658
Received: 12/01/2026
Respondent: Stanway Nordic Walking Group
Number of people: 2
objects to proposed housing sites PP32 and PO32 due to significant infrastructure and accessibility deficiencies. Key concerns include the absence of public transport links along Halstead Road, inadequate pedestrian routes, lack of supporting infrastructure, highway safety risks from increased traffic joining an already congested road, and potential flood risk on site PO32. The developments would result in ribbon development, eroding Eight Ash Green’s village character. If housing is unavoidable, support is given to the alternative sites south of Halstead Road, as preferred by the Parish Council, where developers are already constructively engaging with local concerns.
We are opposed to the planned sites for extra housing on these sites PP32/PO32
On many issues.
Lack of public transport along Halstead Road linking Stane Park Tollgate and Colchester city centre.
Lack of existing pedestrian walkway linking stane Park being upgraded.
Lack of any infrastructure
Danger of merging traffic onto Halstead road.
Possibility Flooding on site PO32
Eight ash green will loose its village status and become ribbon development along Halstead road which is already gridlocked with traffic
Sites preferred by Parish Council if there has to be housing are preferred by us too.
Developers are already engaging with the parish council and listening to concerns of existing residents. Flexible in their approach.
The Proposed sites south of Halstead road are preferred by Parish Council not the sites proposed by council.
We therefore propose the sites south of Halstead road if housing is inevitable in eight ash Green.
