A developer is looking to build 30 new homes in the Dengie.
Stacey Robins has approached Maldon District Council over a proposal to build on land at Mansion House Farm, Burnham Road, Althorne.
The site is about three hectares and currently consists of a number of former poultry sheds, a barn, redundant grain silos and associated stores, together with nearby fields.
In a letter from Ms Robins to the council, she states: “The locality is on the fringe of the settlement of Althorne and the area has a residential feel and appearance."
Mr Robins has asked the council whether an Environmental Impact Assessment is needed.
A planning application is yet to be submitted.
