In December 2025, Columba Park was granted outline planning permission at appeal (3368272 – Appeal Decision) for a mixed commercial development of up to 46,605 sqm. The proposed development, located to the southeast of Junction 18 on the A12 in Chelmsford, will include employment, logistics, storage and distribution uses.
We are currently preparing our submission package to submit to the Council for consideration, and as part of this process we would be keen to secure feedback from the local community and stakeholders in relation to the reserved matters. Within this website we have presented two layouts that are under development by Pigeon. We would welcome your feedback on both layouts as part of this pre-application process. We have developed both schemes to be fully compliant with the parameters of the approved outline and relevant Local and National Planning Policies.
As the principle of development and parameters have already been set by the outline permission, the feedback that we are seeking in this consultation relates to the appearance, scale, layout and landscaping and of the proposals.
Thank you.
