COUNCILLORS have refused plans to change the use of a house into a three-bed care home in Chafford Hundred.
The application for 75 Mayflower Road, Chafford Hundred, which is situated close to Chafford Hundred Campus, was refused because of the lack of parking for visitors and staff, the location being unsuitable for a care home, and the strain it would cause on the roads.
Councillor Steve Veryard, said: “We encourage the development of small business but we also have a duty to examine the views of the residents.
“It’s very busy in Mayflower Road at peak times.”
Chair of the Planning Committee Councillor Stuart St Clair-Haslam, added: “I do feel there will be an intensification of the issue of the highway in terms of parking.
“It’s a tightly and densely populated area of Chafford Hundred.”
The purpose of this personal blogsite is to pass Ward or Thurrock related information across, and to allow residents comment on plans or proposals. Residents suggestions for developments in the community are certainly very welcome.

Unfortunately, the comment raised issues of a personal nature to a resident of Thurrock and as such I will not be able to post the comment.
If the author of the comment is happy to remove the name and address of the resident involved, I will happily post the comment.
