Consent at Violet Hill Road, Stowmarket

Permission was granted for an Outline application on the former TruckEast site off Violet Hill Road, Stowmarket. JBPL submitted the application on the brownfield site for the erection of up to 65 new dwellings including affordable homes on behalf of the site owner. JBPL worked closely with the Mid Suffolk District Council, and the application was recommended for approval, and received a resolution to grant at Planning Committee in July 2023, with Members voting unanimously in support of the application.

TruckEast has occupied the site for over fifty years, functioning as a commercial vehicle workshop operator. Prior to the application being approved, JBPL successfully helped TruckEast to relocate to the purpose-built site known as Lawn Park Business Centre. Lawn Park was specifically designed to accommodate businesses of this scale and nature. To read more about this application that JBPL was involved with, click here.
