Planning committee
Decided by Ipswich Planning & Development Committee on 4 Feb 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the additional bedroom, physical works, parking arrangements and amenity impacts were considered acceptable, subject to conditions.

- The committee resolved to grant permission with conditions, including boundary treatments and landscaping, and advised that a revised HMO licence would be required.
