KEEP BOREHAM A VILLAGE
It’s now time to Act, show your support at the Planning Committee Meeting - Tuesday 26th May 2026 at Civic Centre, Duke Street, Chelmsford at 7pm.

Last year a Planning application was submitted for the Development of a Bio-CNG vehicle fuelling facility comprising fuel pump islands, plant compound, amended access, landscaping and associated development on Land East of Premier Lodge Hotel Main Road Boreham. This application would:

• Result in 480 additional HGV movements on Main Road Boreham per day.
• Encroach on the green space which separates Boreham from Chelmsford.
• Creates a detrimental visual impact on Boreham and the Grade 1 listed Boreham House.

This application was objected to in significant numbers by Boreham Parish Council, Boreham Conservation Society and significant numbers of local residents.

Chelmsford City Council Planners have now decided despite the objection to recommend the approval of this application and this now goes formally to the Planning Committee on Tuesday 26th May which commences at 7pm in the Civic Centre Duke Street Chelmsford.

It is NOT TOO LATE, we can still get this application refused by the Planning Committee and to this end our Local City Councillor James Raven will be raising objections at the Meeting.

Representatives of the Parish Council and local people will also be speaking from the public gallery with the intention of getting the recommendation overturned and the application refused.

We need a big turn out on 26th May to reinforce the strength of local village opinion opposed to this application.

Please make every effort to attend the Planning Committee meeting. A good turnout of local people will carry a lot of weight. We will provide badges for people to wear to show your support for the Village of Boreham.

Please get involved we need everyone’s support to keep Boreham a village; a village to be proud of.

Dear Customer

I’m writing to tell you that we plan to resume road surface repairs on the A12 in both directions at different points between junctions 19 and 25. We’re returning to carry out additional urgent road surface repairs. Once complete, this will help keep the A12 safe and serviceable.

We plan to complete this work over eight nights starting from Thursday 14 May 2026. We will work overnight between 9pm and 5am on weeknights only, weather permitting.

Further extensive road surface repair work will be required at a later stage. We’ll share details of any future closures and diversions as soon as they’re confirmed.

Closures and diversions

To carry out this work safely, we need to close the A12 overnight at different points between junctions 19 and 25. We will not close the whole section between junctions 19 and 25, so some local traffic will still be possible.
