Residents are invited to give their views on a draft Planning Position Statement for the Kirkley Waterfront and Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood, which will help bring forward development at the site in Lowestoft.
When finalised, the Planning Position Statement will provide guidance to landowners and developers on the Council’s position on key issues affecting development. The document will be used to help make decisions on future planning applications on the site and to recognise any changes since previous guidance for the area was produced in 2013.
Kirkley Waterfront is a 60-hectare site in central Lowestoft which was identified for development in the Waveney Local Plan. The land is in multiple ownerships and some of the site has already been developed, but much remains vacant or underused.
Give your views on the draft Position Statement.
The five-week consultation closes on Thursday 8 May 2025.
