Endurance Estates Strategic Land has submitted two outline planning applications for residential development in Elmswell:

4911/16 - 11.56 hectares of land adjacent to Wetherden Road to the East of the village and proposed for up to 240 new homes, new community parkland, a play area, new permissive path and planting.

4909/16 - 1.89 hectares of land to the East of Warren Lane to the South of the village and proposed for up to 38 dwellings, a new pedestrian link, public open space and planting.

The new homes will provide a much needed contribution to housing stock and will provide a wider range of choice, encouraging new families into the village and existing ones to remain.
