13 Church Close, West Bergholt CO6 3JZ	Proposed replacement porch and fencing.	182773	Support	Decision	The Parish Council has no comment.
77 Mumford Road, West Bergholt CO6 3BN	Single storey ground floor front extension. Rear extension includes first floor extension over existing single storey element and single storey ground floor extension in place of existing conservatory to be removed.	182675	Support	Decision	The Parish Council has no comment.
179 Colchester Road, West Bergholt CO6 3JY	Construction of 2 No. houses.	182761	Object	Decision	This proposal is outside the village envelope and therefore contrary to Colchester Borough Council’s policy on no development outside settlement boundaries. The application does not form part of the West Bergholt Neighbourhood Plan proposals and the argument in the Planning Statement regarding the 5-year housing supply is specious.
