East Suffolk Council's planning south committee has refused to grant planning permission to McCarthy and Stone for 41 sheltered hosing flats in Martlesham Heath, amid fears of the loss of recreational space on the former main runway of RAF Martlesham.

Delayed plans for 41 sheltered housing homes in Martlesham Heath have been refused amid concerns of lost public parking and the old runway recreation space.
East Suffolk Council s planning south committee deferred a decision in April on plans for a retirement complex to be built on land close to The Square and village green, citing the need for a site visit.
The proposals, lodged by McCarthy and Stone Retirement Lifestyles Ltd, returned to the committee on Tuesday afternoon and despite being recommended for approval were rejected by seven votes to two.
