Initial plans of how another estate in Witham the size of Maltings Lane could look have been revealed.
About 80 concerned residents attended a public exhibition showcasing early plans for 850 homes and a new primary school on arable farmland next to Lodge Farm, off Hatfield Road, on Thursday.
Redrow Homes has applied for a screening opinion from Braintree Council to decide whether or not a detailed environmental report will be needed when the company applies for full planning permission for the development, which also includes a local centre containing shops, offices and cafés, and allotments.
The development’s masterplan shows that the homes will be accessed from a roundabout on Hatfield Road and a road will be built in a loop with the school and local centre in the middle.
