Plans for 27 homes on land near Warren Lane, Elmswell, submitted

Plans have been submitted for 27 homes that could be built in a village.

Applicant Hartog Hutton Ltd has put forward plans to Mid Suffolk District Council for a new development on land near Warren Lane, Elmswell, between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket.

The development would include 18 open market homes made up of four three-bedroom bungalows, five three-bedroom houses and nine four-bedroom houses.

The other nine properties would be affordable homes, including two one-bedroom apartments, five two-bedroom houses and two three-bedroom houses.

In the design and access statement, it said: “The proposed development seeks to enhance the local community by providing a diverse range of housing options and creating new, accessible amenity spaces for both existing and future residents.

“It will improve public access throughout the site and seamlessly integrate into the wider pedestrian network, enhancing connectivity for the broader community.”

If approved, the development would be built on agricultural land east of Warren Lane and access would be provided through a new entry on the road, alongside a pedestrian and cycle link.

Mid Suffolk District Council will review the application during a consultation on Tuesday, April 15.
