Details of Application
The location for this Temporary Event Notice (TEN) was an open air field adjacent to Upminster Windmill, St Mary’s Lane, Upminster.
The field was approximately 90 metres by 58 metres in size with the nearest residential property being 35 metres from the edge of the field.
The field was situated 320 metres west of Station Road, Upminster which was the main crossroad in Upminster Town Centre.
The field had residential houses, flats and bungalows to the north, east and west sides with a school on the opposite side of St Mary’s Lane to the south.
Upminster Windmill Field was situated in St Mary’s Lane near to the junction with Cranborne Gardens and opposite Sacred Heart of Mary Girls School. It contained the Upminster Windmill in the north east corner of the field. It was surrounded on three sides by residential properties with an opening onto St Mary's Lane itself.
The application for a TEN was submitted online via the direct.gov.uk website by Mr Tillson on 10 June 2015.

It sought to be able to provide these activities both on and off the premises.
Havering’s Noise Specialist, Mr Gasson, contacted Mr Tillson to express some concerns and seek some modifications to the timings of the event. Mr Tillson was unwilling to compromise on the timings submitted on the TEN. Mr Gasson had, therefore submitted an objection based on those concerns.
