Taylor Wimpey Secure Approval for 750 Dwellings at Babergh Ipswich Fringe

Taylor Wimpey and their team of consultants have been working on an Outline application for their land off Hadleigh Road, Sproughton for a long period of time. Consultation was fundamental with this application, which involved extensive engagement with local stakeholders; members of the public; Council Officers; and Sproughton Parish Council, over many years.

The application includes for: the construction of up to 750 dwellings; up to 3ha of land for education use; over 50% of the site being area of open space (both formal and informal); plus a number of access and highways improvements off the A1071, the Beagle roundabout, and Hadleigh Road. 

The application was heard at the Babergh Planning Committee on 25th January 2023, where the majority of members voted to approve the application

. 

The site, that has become known as “Wolsey Grange 2” is a further residential led proposal, that follows on from the 2018 planning consent for a mixed use site including 475 dwellings, known as “Wolsey Grange 1”.

This was a great team effort, and an excellent conclusion to many years of hard work. Special thanks go to: Taylor Wimpey UK; Boyer Planning & Design Teams; Cannon Consulting Engineers; RPS; SWECO; JBA; Cass Allen; and JBPL.
