Wrentham
Across East Suffolk, the government wants to build 1,658 homes a year. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 49,740 homes - +40% on existing stock in East Suffolk.
Spread across the 71 settlements in our East Suffolk list, that is an average of 23.4 homes a year per settlement - about 701 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.
