PLANS for a new residential development of 44 homes in the Dengie have been revealed.
Countryside Style Limited has unveiled proposals to build a new 44-home residential development in Tillingham.
The proposed new homes would be on land east of Birch Road and Mill Road and includes new vehicular and pedestrian access, associated open space, parking and landscaping.
Of the homes, 11 would be affordable and 33 would be for private sale.
A mixture of one, two and three bedroom properties are proposed.
Alongside the homes, a communal green, play area and swale are planned to be at the centre of the development.

Each home will have car parking spaces according to their number of bedrooms and 11 visitor parking spaces will also be provided throughout the development.
The site is also not located within a conservation area and is in flood zone one.
A statement prepared by Lanpro Services Limited on behalf of the developer says: "Whilst the proposed development is not specifically identified in the development plan, it will result in a significant number of benefits that shall flow from its delivery, and together these have a significant cumulative benefit.
"In order to facilitate the development, there will be some harm.
"However, the balancing of benefits and disbenefits indicates quite clearly that the adverse impacts of allowing the proposal would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the national planning policy framework taken as a whole, especially in the context of the ‘tilted balance’ given the council’s current lack of five-year housing land supply.
"It is therefore considered that planning permission should be granted without delay."
The site has been identified in Maldon District Council’s call for sites.
In balance, the site has been found suitable for residential development of 44 new homes as it is in a well-connected location near a school, shop and medical practice.
However, it should be noted the call for sites exercise does not grant planning permission.
A site might be noted as suitable but this doesn't mean the council is going to consider allocating it.
