March 2025 Public Consultation TDC invited the public to express their views on the Issues and Options to be considered for the future of Tendring. A series of Public Drop-in exhibitions are to be held between 17th- 26th March 2025 to find out more about the consultation and to discuss the Local Plan with planning officers. All events 3pm - 7pm. The deadline for responses is 5pm 14th April 2025.
