Welcome and thank you for visiting the website for Columba Park, Chelmsford

Columba Park submitted an outline planning application to Chelmsford City Council for up to 50,000sqm of employment floor space which could include office; research and development; general industry; and storage and distribution on land to the southeast of Junction 18, A12, Chelmsford in December 2024.

A non-determination appeal was made to the Planning Inspectorate in June 2025. A second outline planning application for the same scheme was submitted to Chelmsford City Council in July 2025.

This is a draft allocation in the emerging Chelmsford City Council Local Plan and is a separate independent proposal to Hammonds Farm.

The purpose of this website is to provide information about the proposed scheme.

Thank you.
