Four sites identified as ‘possibles’ by Strutt and Parker We eliminated three as unsuitable – not real hubs The Memorial Hall and Edwards House was the preferred
Owner of Edwards House was unhelpful Unacceptable to the doctors

Memorial Hall Committee
MH has irreplaceable sentimental value Prefer to stay where they are Complexity
Forced to abandon the idea
Support a stand-alone project on Bury Farm land No support in the NP for housing development on this site
New settlements at Easton Park, west of Dunmow; in North
Uttlesford, north-east of Great Chesterford; and west of Braintree.
A broad strategy for meeting the locally generated housing targets
and the role of rural settlements
hybrid distribution strategy’ that includes ‘new settlements, towns
and villages is the most sustainable’
Around 16000 new homes needed to meet demand for properties in
the District over the next 16 years.
How many for Felsted ?
We don’t know UDC can’t tell us No established methodology UDC can impose a number
Press ahead urgently on controlling housing development and achieving
some community benefits.
Allocate a site for a new surgery in Station Road. Put in place policies to support the shop if a suitable centrally located and
commercially viable site becomes available.
Support the development of up to 60 new homes over our 20 year plan
period.
Ensure developments we support offer material benefits to the community
now and provide a contingency for the future, for example for the likely expansion of the primary school.
With the PC establish a Felsted Community Trust that could use funding
from developers for example to help the MH refurbish.
