Changes to plans for an affordable housing development being built in a Suffolk village have been reccomended for approval.
In March 2025, Flagship Group received approval to build a 29-home estate on land north of Station Road in Haughley, near Stowmarket.
However, they are now seeking to remove two of the bungalows and replace them with one two-story building, compirising of two maisonettes.
A spokesman said the redesign is required due to the relocation of the current electric pole to support the undergrounding of the electricity across the site.

The plans will be discussed at Mid Suffolk District Council on Wednesday, due to the scale of the project.
Planning officers say that "the public benefits" associated with the proposal are considered to "outweigh" the potential harm to the surroundings.
They added: "The proposal is considered to be well connected to the existing village and its range of services and facilities, which it would help support."
Meanwhile, one resident has objected to the plans, describing the estate as "intrusive" and "spoiling" any view they have from their home.
They also added that building had already begun at the site.
