A bid to build 18 homes on undeveloped land in Fressingland has been rejected again - because it did not meet the requirements of the village s neighbourhood plan.
Developers CE Davidson Ltd had plans for 18 homes for Post Mill Lane in Fressingfield refused in late 2019, with a subsequent appeal dismissed.
A fresh bid was deferred by Mid Suffolk District Council s development control committee in November last year so that more legal advice could be sought on the decision process, specifically around the weight of the neighbourhood plan - a development blueprint created by the parish council and community to guide future housebuilding.

Plans for 146 homes that will extend the edge of Stowmarket towards Onehouse have been approved by a casting vote.
Proposals by Endurance Estates Land Promotion Ltd and Paul Barnard to
develop land off Union Road adjacent to existing development for 300 homes by Hopkins Homes were approved by Mid Suffolk District Council s development control committee on Wednesday morning.
Those
proposals were deferred from January after more information was requested on the landscape impacts and whether more homes could be designated affordable.
