Search the Public Notice PortalA major development planned for land in Rushmere St Andrew is continuing to move through the planning process, with fresh applications showing work remains ongoing behind the scenes. The scheme at 155 The Street was originally granted outline permission for up to 14 homes, 25 retirement apartments and a 75-bed care home.
While the development has not yet been built, a series of new applications lodged with East Suffolk Council indicate progress is continuing on the long-running project.
Homes, retirement flats and a care home
Planning documents show the site is earmarked for a mixed development intended to provide new housing and accommodation for older residents.
A planning and design statement submitted as part of a later application states that a revised residential layout would comprise 10 homes and five retirement apartments, while retaining the existing property at 153 The Street. The document also says a separate application has been submitted for the care home element of the overall scheme.
The site lies on the southern side of The Street in Rushmere St Andrew, close to Ipswich Rugby Club and existing residential properties. Planning documents say it is bordered by agricultural land to the west and existing housing to the east.
Fresh applications submitted
The latest applications do not seek approval for a completely new development.
Instead, they deal with technical details that must be approved before the wider project can move forward.
One application covers matters including estate roads, footpaths, parking areas, cycle storage, pedestrian crossings and open-space management. It also includes details covering species surveys, drainage and construction management.

A separate application concerns construction arrangements during the build, including environmental management, noise and dust controls, delivery management and surface water measures.
Planning records show both applications were awaiting decisions when checked on October 14.
What happens next?
The latest submissions suggest development of the site continues to progress despite several years having passed since the original outline permission was granted.
If ultimately delivered, the scheme could bring new homes, retirement accommodation and a care home to land off The Street, adding to the housing and care provision available in the Rushmere St Andrew area.
