Maldon District Council
Latchingdon Inquiry

DAC Planning acted on behalf of Maldon District Council as expert witness on planning matters at a public inquiry for proposals for residential development on a greenfield site outside of the settlement boundary in Latchingdon.

The planning application proposed the delivery of up to 160 homes, of which 50% would be affordable. Latchingdon is a village with a population of around 1,400 residents.

 

DAC Planning worked closely with Council officers, Councillors and Counsel to build a robust and defensible case for the appeal, drawing on the contradictions between the proposal with local planning policy and the spatial strategy.
