Planning committee

Decided by East Suffolk Planning Committee North on 8 Sept 2026. Earlier deferred on 11 Aug 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

Officers advised approval because specialist housing in a sustainable location would provide identified housing benefits that outweighed adverse impacts.
Residents and consultees raised concerns about affordable housing, parking, overdevelopment, design, infrastructure and the effect on local amenity.
The committee refused the application because it rejected the alternative use value, affordable housing outcome and absence of an overage clause.

Site constraints 4

Suffolk Coast & Heaths National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Also on the record

Inside the Reydon built-up area; Heritage coast 97 m away: Suffolk; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 1 November 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
