The Uttlesford District Council Planning Portal shows that a Planning Application has just been made to UDC in respect of the Water Tower site in Garnetts Lane, Felsted (UTT/25/1929/OP).
This application refers to the site the subject to a public consultation held by the land-owner’s agents earlier this year.
As part of the continuing consultation process which commenced in March 2024, on 11th/12th July 2025 at the URC the Neighbourhood Plan Review Group sought parishioner’s further comments about these (and other) development proposals which are being considered for inclusion in the Review. To help assess the viability of proposals, various options, conditions and DRAFT policies have been discussed with agents for sites under consideration. However, no site allocations or policies have yet been formally adopted by the Review Group in a Reg 14 submission.
The Group does not anticipate progressing to the next stage (Reg 14) until it has assessed further evidence – particularly in relation to access – and a Strategic Environmental Assessment has been conducted and the outcome assessed. This is unlikely to be before late September 2025.
Meanwhile, this application will be considered in the prescribed manner by the Planning Committee of Felsted Parish Council. As previously stated at the Consultation Events, the result of the ‘vote’ and the comments received at the Events will be shared and will help to inform the Parish’s formal response to UDC about the application.
Parishioners who wish to make any personal representations or comment about this (or any) application are advised to do so directly to Uttlesford District Council as the Local Planning Authority. You have until 27th August to consider and submit your response; you may do so by following the link below:
