A plot of land in Ipswich which had permission for new nine homes has gone up for auction.

The land on Upper Orwell Street in the town centre will go under the hammer on Thursday, March 26 with a guide price of £115,000.

Planning permission had been granted on the site, located at the back of the car-park by the former Co-Operative building, for nine three-bedroom homes back in January 2022.

Had plans proceeded, the three-storey homes would have been built with a walled garden and cycle storage opposite the European point store in Upper Orwell Street.

However, no work had started on the site in the standard three year period meaning that permission for the new homes lapsed in January 2025.

Any further development to the site will require the developer to reapply for planning permission through Ipswich Borough Council after the sale is completed.

The auction is being held by Allsop on Thursday, March 26 with a guide price set for £115,000.
