Plans have been approved for three homes to be built on the site of a former boarding kennel north of Ipswich.

Three bungalows are set to be constructed on the site of Browngates - a former boarding kennel in Ashbocking Road, Swilland.

East Suffolk Council received the initial application in April, after the kennel shut last year, and granted planning permission last week.

The current site includes one existing bungalow, two large kennel blocks, a single-storey building and a pool enclosure.

After being granted approval, everything besides the existing bungalow will be demolished. 

In their place will be three new three-bedroom chalet bungalows located to the south and west of the original bungalow.

The council will only permit a chalet bungalow as long as the upstairs space is for bedrooms only.

East Suffolk Council enforced that a second-storey could only be added for accommodation as they feared increasing the height of the homes could lead to them no longer keeping in-character with the neighbouring properties.

To the west of the site is a small commercial site, Homeland House, consisting of an office units and a small joinery workshop.
