Planning committee

Decided by East Suffolk Planning Committee North on 11 Nov 2025.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the dwelling was considered acceptable in principle and would not cause unacceptable drainage, highway, ecology or flood-risk impacts, subject to conditions.
  • The Parish Council and Ward Councillor raised longstanding sewage and flooding concerns and said construction should not proceed until the wider drainage problem was resolved.
  • The committee resolved to grant authority for approval, subject to updated tree protection, ecological mitigation and agreed final drainage-condition wording.
