It is the aim of the Parish Council to seek a high standard of design for all new developments and extensions in the Village .
Item 1: To receive any pre-application representations regarding proposed planning applications
Item 2: Current planning applications:
| Location | Proposal | Application No. and link to CBC planning website | Object / Support / Observations | Decision or Recommendation | Comments by Planning Committee |
| 83 Colchester Rd, West Bergholt, CO6 3JU | Rear Extension | 162950 | Support | Decision | The Parish Council has no comment. |
| 149 Chapel Road West Bergholt, CO6 3EZ | Proposed extension and alterations to existing dwelling with increased ridge height and relocation of access point onto highway. | 162858 | Object | Decision | The Parish Council are not against development on this site, but feel the design is out of scale with the surrounding buildings. The drawing does not show what part of the building is to be retained. So for all intents and purposes, this is a 100% new dwelling and the Borough Council’s policy therefore dictates the need for a street scene. The current plans contravene DG3, DG7 and DG8 of the CBC Approved Village Design Statement. The garden appears to be a smaller than the Borough Council recommended size for a four-bedroom house i.e. 100m2 (the site is only 280m2 in total). The parking is less than CBC standards and will require vehicles to reverse onto a main road. |
| St Marys Church, Hall Road, West Bergholt | Various roof repairs: re-lead of the central valley gutter, reinstatement of lead lights to one of the dormer windows in the south-slope of the nave roof, and introduction of a lead-lined chute to the east-end of the valley gutter. | 163019 | Support | Decision | The Parish Council would defer to the Borough Council’s policies on repairs to Listed Buildings, however it would support anything that helps to maintain the life of such a historic local building. |
| 42 Albany Road, West Bergholt, CO6 3LD | Front porch extension and alterations (following approval under 122170– now completed) | 163130 | Support | Decision | The Parish Council has no comment. |
