Essex Housing has secured planning permission for 26 homes on taxpayer-owned land that has been empty for 12 years.Permission was granted for 15 two-bed and 11 one-bed apartments, eight of which will be affordable, in Waltham Glen, off Gloucester Avenue, Chelmsford.Essex County Council, in collaboration with Essex Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner, has been working with the Moulsham Lodge Community Trust (MLCT) to find the group a permanent home since its community centre in Waltham Glen closed in 2005.In March this year, the Council bought a former police station nearby before handing a long-term lease to MLCT, freeing up the Waltham Glen site for redevelopment.
