(Comments from other Tollesbury residents may be helpful and can be viewed on MDC’s planning website.)
  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.
