Plans for over 200 homes in Woolpit are decided by councillors at Mid Suffolk District Council

Three planning applications for over 200 homes in Woolpit have been decided by councillors alt Mid Suffolk District Council.

They approved one, refused another and deferred a third.

Yesterday, they approved an application by Pigeon for 120 homes in Old Stowmarket Road, pending a noise assessment because of its proximity to Goldstar Transport container depot.

An application by New Hall Properties for 79 homes in Old Stowmarket Road was deferred for corrections, a noise review and to be reported with an adjacent application.

An application for 49 homes in Green Lane was refused, against officers’ recommendations, because it was felt highway improvements ‘would cause harm to the Woolpit Conservation Area’.
