A NEW home will be built in a residential street.

A planning application to build a three bedroom house on land adjacent to The Chase, Pretoria Road, Halstead was approved by Braintree District Council.

Plans to build a bungalow on the site were previously granted permission.

Halstead Town Council opposed the plans on the grounds it would exasperate existing parking issues.

The plans were approved at a meeting on July 4, after officers concluded the proposal would "not result in an unacceptable impact on neighbouring residential amenities, and parking and access to the site are found to be acceptable by Essex Highways."
