A further 11 new dwellings are to be built as part of the second phase of a development at Cockfield, near Lavenham, which has already seen tenants move into affordable homes.

The 11 new homes will be built on the land north west of Mackenzie Place, in Cockfield, and the second phase comes after the completion of 18 affordable homes for local families which welcomed the first tenants this month.

The next phase will provide homes on the open market which should be available early next year, and will consist of a mixture of bungalows and houses, and are being built in partnership between Orwell Homes and local construction firm SEH French Construction.
