People are being invited to have their say on a proposal to build 600 homes in Bradwell.

Badger Building says the site off Beccles Road is “almost a continuation of what has gone on at the other side of the road” and is ripe for new homes.

The development, opposite Bluebell Meadow on the A143, will be arranged into a series of “walkable neighbourhoods” and includes a petrol station.

Draft proposals will displayed at Woodlands Primary Academy, Church Walk, Bradwell on Friday February 8, 4.30-7.30pm and people will have the chance to ask questions and fill in a questionnaire.

Ed Gilder, spokesman for Lowestoft-based Badger, said the company hoped to submit a planning application by the end of March and was seeking local opinions as part of the process.

He said the site had been earmarked for housing in the local plan and then taken out, although the borough council was looking again at all its allocations.
