Bloor Homes is bringing forward an outline planning application for approximately 270 new high-quality homes, public parkland and community building on land to the north of Walpole Meadows, Stansted Mountfitchet.
Community consultation
Bloor Homes will be undertaking a programme of public consultation on the proposals in April, ahead of a planning application being submitted. As this is an outline planning application, the consultation will focus on the principle of development and potential benefits for the community.
This will provide an opportunity to learn more about the plans for the site, as well as to ask any questions to the project team directly. A feedback form will also be provided at the community consultation event, but if you have any further comments then please contact us.
After the community consultation event, the event banners will be posted here for anyone unable to attend.
