Bicknacre could be without a post office if plans presented to Chelmsford Borough Council are ratified.
Outline planning permission is being sought by architect John Bishop to demolish the Bicknacre Post Office Stores, in Main Road, along with a nearby estate agents.
In its place, the developers intend to build two semi-detached houses.
The applicant, a Mr K Sharma, has reportedly been investigating the possibility of reopening the post office in one of the village's existing shops.
Mr Bishop said negotiations were ongoing to save the post office.
