A SCHEME to build four new detached homes on land in Little Bromley has been thrown out.
An outline application was put in for the small development on a site which forms part of an open field in the countryside next to Hunters Moon in Chequers Road.
It is outside the settlement development boundary and about 100 metres away from a Grade II listed building.
Tendring Council decided that the site is a socially unsustainable location due to its lack of facilities and services.
It also felt that the harmful impact would outweigh any benefits of the scheme and the contribution that four extra dwellings would make to the Council’s five-year housing supply.
Little Bromley Parish Council did not comment on the proposal and Essex County Council as the highway authority did not oppose the plans, but Tendring Council did receive ten letters of objection from residents.
