Update from Sawbridgeworth Town Council - Wain Estates - Wychford Drive, Sawbridgeworth
Your Town Council is aware of the consultation leaflet from Wain Estates currently circulating in Sawbridgeworth regarding their proposed development of around 200 homes on land off Wychford Drive.
As Chair of the Planning Committee, I have written directly to Wain Estates requesting that they attend a Planning Committee meeting to present their proposals before any application is submitted to East Hertfordshire District Council. We have asked for a full overview of the scheme, their submission timetable, background on them as a developer, and - importantly - their responses to the concerns already being raised by local residents.
Whilst the Town Council is not the decision-making authority, we are a statutory consultee and our views are communicated clearly to EHDC. We take that responsibility seriously.
We will keep residents updated as this progresses. If you have concerns you would like the Committee to be aware of, please get in [email protected]

Chair of the Planning Committee
