Barratt David Wilson (BDW) Anglia has secured planning consent for the delivery of new homes on a 21.9-hectare site to the east of Ixworth Road in Thurston, Suffolk.
The consent allows for the delivery of 210 homes, 74 of which will be affordable, and includes planting and landscaping, a children’s play area, sustainable drainage systems, including permeable surfaces, planting of swales and attenuation basins, and all associated infrastructure.
The site will comprise a mix of one-, two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes as well as accessible bungalows, suitable for a varied community, including older residents and first-time buyers. All homes will feature air-source heat pumps, provisions for photovoltaic panels and electric-vehicle charging points.
Construction is due to commence on site this year and the scheme is anticipated to complete in 2028.
Kian Saedi, planning manager at BDW, said: “The Carter Jonas team’s planning expertise and proactive approach have been instrumental in bringing our eco‑aware homes scheme to this stage. The firm’s deep understanding of sustainable development and clear communication made the process seamless. We’re grateful for their dedication and look forward to seeing this community flourish.”
James Stone, associate partner at Carter Jonas in Cambridge, which advised BDW on the planning application, added: “This application received a unanimous vote of approval at the planning committee which is a great endorsement of the scheme that places biodiversity and energy efficiency front and centre. It has been immensely rewarding to work with BDW and the team on such a progressive development, and we can’t wait to see this sustainable, community-focused development take shape.”
The project team included Thrive Architects, Richard Jackson, Elwood Landscape Design, CSA Environmental and Ground Control.
