Successful Land Promotion In Latchingdon
Catesby Estates completed the land sale of a 25 acre site in Latchingdon, Essex, to housebuilder Dandara Homes in September 2025.
The land, which is a dedicated greenfield site, had planning permission for 160 new homes, 50% of which will be affordable.
Range of community benefits
The plans also included a designated plot for a children’s nursery, comprising a 300 sqm building with outside play space and on-site parking.
More than 40% of the 25 acre site was to be retained and transformed into a new community park. This green space would include a new children’s play area, community allotments and integrated walking and cycling routes.
The site also made provision for a 100 sqm office hub, designed to support residents working from home, local entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Planning was achieved on this site in 2024 after Catesby Estate’s team successfully appealed Maldon District Council planning committee’s decision to refuse the scheme in 2023, despite a recommendation for approval by the Planning Officer.
The refusal was overturned in 2024, with the Inspector’s report supporting Catesby Estates’ evidence of a significant shortfall of new housing delivery in Maldon.
