Thurrock Council rejected a 150-home development near Orsett, citing over-intensification and poor infrastructure, despite planning officers' approval and developer appeals.
Thurrock Council has rejected a second time a proposal to build 150 homes near Orsett, despite planning officers recommending approval and developers BDW Trading Ltd arguing the project meets housing needs with 50% affordable units and £222,000 in Section 106 contributions.
The decision, made 4–3, cited over-intensification and inadequate sustainable infrastructure, with council leaders dismissing claims of developer pressure.
Objectors warned of strain on schools, healthcare, and traffic, while developers called the refusal unrobust and said they may appeal.
