East Suffolk Council is inviting comments on a new planning document which provides guidance on the development of small scale housing, of up to five dwellings, in the countryside.

The Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) provides further guidance on the application of Local Plan policies SCLP5.4 Housing in Clusters in the Countryside (Suffolk Costal Local PLan,2020) and WLP8.7 Small Scale Residential Development in the Countryside (Waveney Local Plan, 2019).

All comments received will  be considered and taken into account when finalising the SPD, which will be adopted later in 2022. Once adopted the SPD will be a material consideration in determining planning applications.
