Residents are advised that early preparation has begun on a new East Suffolk Local Plan, which will guide how and where development takes place across the district up to at least 2044. The plan will cover housing, employment land, infrastructure, and community facilities. Once adopted, it will replace the existing Suffolk Coastal and Waveney Local Plans. Adoption is anticipated in 2029.
