7,750 more houses proposed between Wivenhoe and Elmstead: who knew and who protested?

  I should very much like to know when the talks about 7,750 more houses between Wivenhoe and Elmstead began. Who knew that these discussions were taking place? Which local Councillors objected to them? Wivenhoe will, if this development goes ahead, be even more spatially compressed. Time, in my view, for Wivenhoe to get out of the control of Colchester City Council and to tell Tendring District Council enough development of housing is enough.
