Planning application

The Chestnuts Broke Hall Park Nacton Ipswich Suffolk IP10 0ET

Awaiting decision East Suffolk DC/26/2196/CLP Lawful Development Certificate(Proposed)

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Certificate of Lawful Use (Proposed) - The leased caravan is required strictly on a temporary basis to provide necessary on-site accommodation while interior renovation works are carried out on the primary dwellinghouse, during which time the main house will be structurally uninhabitable. The caravan is expected to be sited on the land for a period of approximately 6 months, starting from August 2026 to January 2026. The caravan will be completely disconnected from utilities and removed from the site within 7 days of the renovation works reaching practical completion and the primary dwellinghouse becoming safe and habitable again.

About lawful development applications
