The planning application to demolish the St John’s Ambulance Hall along Chapel Road is now OFF the agenda for the Colchester Borough Council Planning Committee that is meeting on Thursday. New evidence has been submitted, suggesting that the Hall is still used by the community. This has been verified by the St John’s Company Secretary and Property Officer.

The main reason for recommending the demolition was because it had been argued by the applicant that the building is no longer used by the community. A deferment is in place - the planning report will now have to be re-written.
