Renewed application by Fairfield for up to 350 houses between Elsenham and Henham.

Deadline: 14th August

Here are some thoughts from the Parish Council concerning how to respond to the renewed application .

You could mention the large amount of recent housing in the village. Road access is key. It would be helpful if you were to include experience of long delays and difficulties on the route through Grove Hill, Lower Street and Chapel Hill in Stansted, in particular examples of gridlock on Grove Hill (when traffic in both directions is immobilised), or running down the pavement at Chapel Hill. Also, it would be helpful if you were to mention whether you use an alternative route to Grove Hill, which route and how often and why.

It’s important to give your personal views - you can be short or as long as you like.

There are a couple of things which will be ignored if you include them. One is that development would devalue your property; the other is that it will spoil your view - although you can say that it will have an impact on the countryside. Loss of open space is a possible objection, and so too is the loss of a large area of agricultural land. Be selective.

Plans to demolish bungalow next to Memorial Garden and build a large 5 bed house 2 meters away.

DEADLINE 7th AUGUST

The Parish Council has looked at the application. Here are some notes as to what you might say in objecting:

The most obvious point is in the impact on the Memorial Garden. The applicants have already felled the trees behind the Memorial Garden which helped to enclose it. A house there would obviously be overbearing. You might add something about the impact on the church services which are held there at Christmas, Easter and Remembrance, and possibly your experience of these services. As ever, keep it personal.

You might want to add that the proposed second access onto Station Road is clearly too close to the junction.

Please keep it personal to your experience.
