Save our bridge – important announcement

The formal planning application for Boxted bridge has begun and the consultation period ends on 28th January.

This is a reminder to those of you who have not already written to object to the proposal to demolish Boxted bridge to do so now! As the responsibility for the bridge lies with both Babergh District Council and Essex County Council, objections and comments will need to be submitted to both organisations.

• All planning application documents are available to view on this link where you can comment on the application CC/COL/106/21
  https://planning.essex.gov.uk/disclaimer.aspx?returnURL=%2fplanningapplication.aspx%3fAppNo%3dCC%2fCOL%2f106%2f21
• Please make sure you to also send a copy of your comment to Babergh DC planning link (please note you will be requested to register first before you are able to comment): https://planning.baberghmidsuffolk.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=R58X4QSH09Q00 Ref Boxted bridge DC/22/00050

  Alternatively you can simply email: baberghplanninggreen@baberghmidsuffolk.gov.uk giving your full name, and postal address and Boxted Bridge Ref DC/22/00050.
