| 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. |
