The Parish Council takes a keen and active interest in local planning matters and is routinely consulted by the Local Planning Authority, Tendring District Council (TDC), on applications submitted within Great Bromley. From time to time, TDC also seeks the Council’s views on applications outside the Parish where these may affect our community.
Great Bromley Parish Council (GBPC) responds to all such consultations on behalf of residents. TDC will consider, as they judge appropriate, any comments submitted within the statutory deadlines by individuals or organisations. Residents are encouraged to review the published details of planning applications and to share any significant observations with both TDC and GBPC.

The applicant’s own LVIA identifies permanent adverse landscape harm;
The proposals would harm the dispersed rural settlement pattern;
The site is not in a genuinely sustainable location;
Existing public transport provision is limited and does not justify development of this scale;

Lack of information within the application, making it difficult to assess the full implications.
Hardstanding and drainage details are not provided, creating uncertainty about surface‑water management.
Evidence of change of use, supported by the NHS letter, which is not reflected in the application.
