Bloor Homes Sets 30-Day Consultation on 1,300-Home Scheme South of Kesgrave

A 30-day consultation is under way with resident meetings next week.

Overview

  • The developer released concept images for a Foxhall Road site showing housing zones and a conservation area tied to archaeology near Dobbs Lane, including part of the former RAF Martlesham Heath runway.
  • No planning application has been submitted to East Suffolk Council, and the proposals remain at an early, non-statutory stage.
  • Bloor Homes says the consultation period began Tuesday and includes meetings with local residents next week.
  • Residents report heavy congestion and pressure on schools and services, raising objections to building on farmland and pointing to proximity to a landfill and municipal waste site.
  • East Suffolk councillor Geoff Lynch links the scale of proposals to national policy changes that increased housing targets and suggests more large schemes are likely.
