The Taylors have lived in Tiptree for 60 years and are upset by more than 500 notices put through letterboxes.
Under the name of Tiptree Action Group the letters claim plans to build a residential development for two homes will be a gipsy encampment.
Nelson Taylor, 60, of Kelvedon Road, submitted a planning application to turn wasteland he owns into a hardcourt surface for two mobile homes and a utility room.
My Taylor and his wife Toma want to provide homes for his children and the children of his 61-year-old brother James.
He said: "They think we're going to have lots and lots of gipsies on there. It is just for our family."
