RESIDENTS have drawn up plans to fight proposals for 145 homes in Heybridge.

Persimmon Homes has applied to Maldon District Council to build on land west of Broad Street Green Road. At a meeting of Heybridge Residents’ Association, the committee decided to draw up new posters in their fight against homes in the area.

Chairman Christopher Salmon said concerns centred around flooding and wildlife in the area.

Heybridge Parish Council has objected to the plans as “premature”, because the Local Development Plan is still being considered.

Persimmon Homes is also looking at building 350 homes to the south of Broad Street Green Road.
