Rapid Planning Approval for Denbury Homes in Elmsett
Rapid Planning Approval
JBPL have worked closely with Denbury Homes during 2022 on a new Full application for 44 new homes on land east of Hadleigh Road, Elmsett. The site benefitted from an earlier Outline consent that was granted in 2018 for 41 dwellings, and was more recently it identified for “approximately 41 homes, including 15 affordable” in the ‘made’ Elmsett Neighbourhood Plan (2019).
The proposals take a landscape led approach to design, with a comprehensive green infrastructure strategy running through the scheme. The layout is set back from the road frontage, and has incorporated a series of bungalows to offer a transition into the site. At the same time, it also ensures that there are enhancements to the existing public footpath networks, as well as offering improvements to local biodiversity.
In addition to the housing being proposed, a large area of public open space will also be provided via a new LEAP and a drainage basin. This will add a significant buffer between existing properties and the proposed development, which was discussed and agreed with District and County Council Officers, and the Parish Council.
This application was unanimously approved at Mid Suffolk’s Planning Committee on Wednesday 5th October 2022, with a Decision Notice being issued on 28th October 2022. This is a remarkable turnaround of 6 months and 24 days from validation to Decision.
Well done all concerned.
