An application to build 23 new homes in a village has been pulled from tonight's planning meeting.

A decision over plans to build the new houses on land off Tey Road, Earls Colne, had been due to be made by Braintree Council's planning committee meeting.

However, the application will no longer be discussed tonight and will instead be decided at a later date.

Planning officers have recommended the proposals be approved.

Braintree Council was approached for comment.
