Residents to have their say on Deben High School site proposals
Plans on what to do with the former Deben High School site in Felixstowe are being put to the public next week.
The site was transferred to East Suffolk Council from Suffolk County Council last month and has been earmarked to facilitate the ongoing development of Felixstowe Sports Hub and a new home for Felixstowe Indoor Bowls Club and Cricket Club.
Proposals for the redevelopment also include new housing. In total, the masterplan consists of 61 new homes, comprising of 32 affordable rented, 10 shared ownership and 19 open market homes.
Cllr Steve Gallant, Leader of East Suffolk Council, said: “We are committed to increasing leisure opportunities and improving the housing mix in Felixstowe, so this is an exciting scheme for the Council and for the town as it will help us to fulfil our ambitions on these two important fronts.
“We want to encourage as many people as possible to get involved in the consultation where they can view the exciting plans for the scheme, which showcases how the Council plan to transform this disused brownfield site into a sustainable housing and leisure development for Felixstowe.”
