The site
The site is located adjacent to West Street.
According to the emerging Neighbourhood Plan consultation, the west of the village is identified as a potential growth area.
The site covers approximately 18 hectares and is located immediately adjacent to West Street, about 600 metres west of Tollesbury village centre.
Maldon Council recognises Tollesbury as a settlement with accessible services and facilities that can be reached on foot and by bicycle, making it suitable for growth.
An overview of the emerging scheme:
Up to 200 high-quality new homes, featuring a mix of family housing.

Focus on active travel routes between the site and the village centre, specifically pedestrian and cycle links.
