Notice of Public Consultation on Hartley Gardens Supplementary Planning Document for Tendring District Council
Hartley Gardens is the name given to a mixed-use allocation in the Tendring District Local Plan. The site is located west of Brook Retail Park and north of St John’s Road and is expected to deliver around 1,700 new homes over the next two decades, along with employment land, community infrastructure, and open spaces.
The principle of development has already been agreed through the adoption of the Local Plan, and this consultation is seeking views on a draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and a series of background documents which provides detailed planning guidance and a masterplan to help shape future planning applications for the site.
The consultation opens on Monday 6th October 2025 and will close at 5pm on Monday 17th November 2025.
