Dear friends of Battlesbridge Antiques Centre

We are hoping that you can assist us in a planning matter concerning our showground at Battlesbridge.  If you have attended events organised here,
held your rallies, used the site for camping / caravanning, sports and recreation or held an event in the marquee on the land...
 
 
 
 
We would like your support
 
 
Although we have been using the site as a showground for about 25 years Chelmsford City Council have requested that we regularise town planning matters and have asked that we submit planning applications to retain the showground use and also the permanent events marquee that we installed in 2011. 

The applications have recently been submitted and are referenced:
14/00128/FUL for the showground use,
14/00164/FUL for the retention of the events marquee.

You can view the submitted documents on-line by visiting the following website and pasting in the reference numbers:

NB.  The Council's website has been experiencing some problems this week so all plans and documents can be found by visiting our website blog;
 
 
We need your support
 
 
It would assist us if you would write to Chelmsford City Council and support our applications.  There are a few local residents who have objected to the longstanding uses at Muggeridge Farm and we would like to counterbalance their negative comments by demonstrating to the Council that very many more people support the showground and associated marquee and explain that it brings community, economic and leisure benefits to the Borough.  The Council's address is:

Chelmsford City Council,
FAO Mr Ken Smith, Planning Officer,
Planning Department,
PO Box 7544,
Civic Centre,
Duke Street,
Chelmsford,
Essex CM1 1JE.
 
 

Please read our Blog

 
 
 
 
Happy to answer your questions
 
 
If you are happy to support the application/s it would help if you write to the council in your own words (an e-mail of support can be submitted but letters are better) and explain who you are, how you came to know of the site (the use that you made of it), how long you have been attending events here and the benefits of the showground and marquee to you and the Borough in terms of leisure and tourism, the economy etc.  If you have been attending events or using the site for many years it would help my case if you could set this out in as much detail as possible in your reply to the Council.

We would be happy to answer any queries that you may have, please do not hesitate to contact us .
