Change of use of land for the purpose of a music festival and similar events for a maximum of 14 days each year at Spencers, Tilbury Road, Great Yeldham. After consideration members thought that the application was too open ended, i.e.: “and simlar events”, and that no explanation of how the very restricted Tilbury-Juxta-Clare road could cope with guestimated volumes of traffic over a period of fourteen days. It was resolved by members that whilst having no objections to a one-off music festival of limited duration, such as a social event, they could not support the application as it is. The clerk was instructed to request Braintree District Council to refuse the application. 2131. Correspondence.
