They are starting a public consultation from 1st Feb to 14th Feb. More details are on their website: www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/wivenhoe.
They will be holding a webinar on Monday 8th Feb at 6pm. More details on this website about how to log in to it.
You may instinctively feel that there shouldn't be more housing here but it was in the Wivenhoe Neighbourhood Plan that 2,771 voted yes to (and 342 people against) that agreed we should allow an extra 250 homes here in Wivenhoe in the period to 2033. This is a tiny increase when you consider that we have about 3,600 homes here already. The Neighbourhood Plan says that we need more smaller homes for young or single people for example. Any development must come with more community facilities. Specifically if Taylor Wimpey are to get planning consent, they must respect all the policies in the Plan. Several of the 32 policies that we wrote into the Plan, and that Wivenhoe residents voted on in a referendum held in May 2019, need to be respected by TW. They are saying that they will deliver the objectives set out in that document. We'll see. I for one will want to make sure that we get what is good for Wivenhoe and not what is good for Taylor Wimpey, things like 5 acres of playing fields (equivalent to two extra full-sized football pitches) and new footpaths and cycle tracks to Broad Lane Sports Ground, and more.
