Plans for five homes in Badley, near Stowmarket, have been withdrawn amidst a holding objection over flood risks.

Friendly Homes' plans centred around land on Stowmarket Road, opposite a complex of commercial buildings to the south of Stowmarket business park - and were submitted to Mid Suffolk District Council in October 2021.

The River Gipping runs adjacent to the rear of the site.

The plans have now been withdrawn amidst a holding objection from Suffolk County Council's flood and water team over the access to the site being "within an area at risk of flooding."

The planning statement for the project - prepared by Wilkinson - said: "The proposal is a wholly deliverable prospect, making effective use of land, without undue harms."

It is not known whether the plans - which were withdrawn at the beginning of September - will be re-visited.
