Have your say
Taylor Wimpey has been refining the masterplan for its proposed development on Land North of Rackheath following feedback from the original public consultation in 2022.
Our plans include up to 3,850 dwellings, two local centres, employment land, two primary schools, one secondary school, community space and sports provision.
Taylor Wimpey hosted a 3 week consultation to update local residents on the changes to the proposals and provide the opportunity for residents to have their say.
The consultation period has now closed and Taylor Wimpey will now review and consider all the feedback received, and incorporate this into the design proposals wherever possible.
