A business park in Halstead might be turned into houses.

Bellway Homes has put Central Park, in Colchester Road, forward as part of Braintree Council’s Call for Sites.

It has been earmarked for residential use.

Agent David Fletcher of Chelmsford-based Strutt and Parker said he was unable to give any more details about the proposal, but confirmed they were looking at putting housing on the site.

He said more information may be available next month.

Bellway Homes did not respond to a request for comment.

Ground engineering firm Central Piling, which employs 70 people, has been based on the site since the early 1990s and before then it was home to an engineering firm.
