Stratford St Mary
Across Babergh, the government wants to build 790 homes a year. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 23,700 homes - +53% on existing stock in Babergh.
Spread across the 39 settlements in our Babergh list, that is an average of 20.3 homes a year per settlement - about 608 over thirty years.
When homes arrive here, they almost always arrive as a bolt-on: a field at a time, each application too small to trigger the reservoir, the substation, the surgery or the station. That is the pattern we are against — not homes themselves.
What we've got now
- In Babergh in 2025, there were 430 hours of sewage spills, at HOLBROOK STW. Sewage →
- About 2,408 patients per GP in Babergh. GPs →
- 1,806 MW still waiting to connect at Bramford. Energy →
- Local A-roads in Suffolk: 27.9 seconds delay per mile, worst on the A1021. Transport →
Now they want another 23,700 homes across Babergh.
It's clear that even our current infrastructure is struggling. Sign the petition to stop the urban sprawl around Stratford St Mary.
