**Revised cut-off date for comments now 24th February**
Tollesbury Parish Council recommend refusal of the above planning application, although planning application approval to build needs to be decided by Maldon District Council, and comments can still be sent to Maldon District Council.
 
Previously the cut-off date for comments on the Lewis & Scott planning application, 21/0702 was 22nd December 2021. However, since then, additional new documents have been submitted by Lewis & Scott and others, so please would you review these documents and comment as necessary.
 
Comments can now be made until 24th February 2022, and the new Site Notices, dated 10-02-2022, in Woodrolfe Road confirm the revised cut-off date for comments.
 
Comments can be made via post to Maldon District Council or on the Maldon District Council Planning Website or via email to dc.planning@maldon.gov.uk.

If you do not support this development in Woodrolfe Road, please submit a letter of objection before the deadline. This can be done via the online planning portal or via email to dc.planning@maldon.gov.uk with a subject line of:
Planning Application 21/00702/FUL, Land North Of 48, Woodrolfe Road, Tollesbury, Essex

Remember to include your name and address, otherwise your letter will not be processed.
The following may serve as grounds for objection:
1) Concerns over climate change-related tidal flooding and risk of surface water flash floods.
2) A prior residents’ survey which indicated the unsuitability of development in the eastern part of the village, and which also showed a greater demand for affordable housing for younger people.
3) Unsuitability of the location for older residents, due to the distance from the main village amenities (shops, bus stop, doctor’s surgery).
4) Unsuitability of the location for older residents due to the absence of pavements in places, the restrictive width of pavements in places, the volume and nature of HGV traffic on Woodrolfe Road, and the absence of a traffic survey.
5) Tollesbury Parish Council have considered the proposal and recommended refusal – see comments.
