Reason for inquiry
Appeal by Barratt David Wilson and Hopkins Homes relating to the applications to Ipswich Borough Council and East Suffolk Council for Hybrid Application - Full Planning Permission for the means of external access/egress to and from the site. Outline planning application (all matters reserved) for a mixed use development for up to 660 dwellings (Use Class C3), up to 400 sq m (net) of non-residential floorspace falling within Use Class E and/or Use Class F2(b), an Early Years facility, and associated vehicular access and highway works, formal and informal open spaces, play areas, provision of infrastructure (including internal highways, parking, servicing, cycle and pedestrian routes, utilities and sustainable drainage systems), and all associated landscaping and engineering works.
The above appeal relates to a development site which is located in both Ipswich Borough Council and East Suffolk Council. Identical planning applications for the full extent of the proposed development were submitted to each council for assessment and determination. Permission was refused by both councils on 05 June 2024; this public inquiry includes the appeals against each council.
An inspector appointed by the Secretary of State will hold the Inquiry, opening on the date shown above to decide the appeal. The inquiry will be held in-person at East Suffolk House and Grafton House*. The inquiry is also being held virtually on Microsoft Teams.
