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.
