A public meeting about plans for a major 2,000-home development in a Suffolk seaside town will be held on Friday.

Residents of villagers surrounding Felixstowe will have the opportunity to discuss the North Felixstowe Garden Neighbourhood project at the Memorial Hall in Trimley St Martin on November 29, from 2pm until 8pm.

East Suffolk councillors Mike Ninnmey and Lee Reeves, who represent Orwell and villages ward, are holding the consultation because Felixstowe residents had already been given the opportunity to speak at previous events, but no specific event had been held for nearby villages.

Mr Reeves said: "However, Mike and I are well aware that the meetings have taken place within Felixstowe and the citizens panel was also drawn from Felixstowe residents almost exclusively, which means that those in the villages have had less opportunity to look at the proposals and how they can affect our peninsula or the chance to ask any questions."

Earlier this month, a panel of representatives from East Suffolk Council, Suffolk County Council and Suffolk Coastal MP Jenny Riddell-Carpenter answered questions about the project at a consultation event at Felixstowe School.

Members of the public in the 160-strong audience asked questions on a range of themes, including the development's likely effect on infrastructure, especially schools and doctors' surgeries, the level of housing need and the impact on leisure facilities.

The 2,000 homes are set to be built on a 350 acre site stretching from the A14 Dock Spur roundabout to Eastward Ho!

Approximately 560 homes have already received planning approval and are being built at Trelawny Place, leaving 1,440 homes to be decided.

The district council is due to make a decision on the best way forward by next Spring.
