A FRESH development bid has been launched with developers aiming to bring 39 homes to the town. Developer Cabotlane Ltd, which is based in Sible Hedingham is looking for permission to build a new development in Halstead. The 39 home bid was validated by the council on April 27 and looks to build the home on land off Oak Road. It is the latest in a number of applications sent to Braintree Council to build homes in Halstead with bids for a total of 201 homes on Mount Hill and a further 200 on Bournebridge Hill raising fears over overdevelopment amongst residents. Previous developments have seen residents raise concerns over the potential impact on the town's services.
