Market Weston
Across West Suffolk, the government wants to build 1,185 homes a year. At that rate, sustained for thirty years, that is 35,550 homes - +42% on existing stock in West Suffolk.
Spread across the 51 settlements in our West Suffolk list, that is an average of 23.2 homes a year per settlement - about 697 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.
