Two members of the public were present, Mr. & Mrs. Woodward. They outlined their concerns regarding the revised plans for the Mill Lane development which were;
• Revised plans to do not go far enough
• Noted that Witham Drainage Board had now objected
• They expressed concern that Manor Crest Developments were ‘wriggling round’ the traffic concerns and were trying to circumvent traffic management issues.
• The housing density was still too high for the available land area
• Concerned that the Parish Council had not objected to this development but had objected to the nine-house development which was also on Mill Lane.
• Local Health Authority have asked for s106 funding
• Chairman commented that LCC had said that no primary school places were needed as a result of this proposed development but £186,906 had been allocated for Secondary Schools and £36,855 for Sixth Form places.
