Mate, you’d need to chop down the entire Amazon rain forest to get enough wood to clad that!
I’ve looked at the pics in the story, it actually is bigger and worse in real life. [Post edited 17 Mar 21:14]

Would you want that at the bottom of your garden?
Yes or no |
Yes |  | | |

The only observation I would have is whether the side on view could have been painted in some sort of green to make it look more like artificial privacy fencing.
Or if not green, if it could have been clad in something like wood? |
Green is not a good colour for blending | | | |

What about requiring the developer to pay for well-established conifers to be planted at the bottom of the various gardens?
They might not hide it completely at the outset but would grow.
Indeed, it's perhaps surprising that the residents haven't already planted such trees to give them privacy from passing trains. [Post edited 17 Mar 21:31]

Tbf fair the train line doesn't bother you once you get used to it, and the modern locos are alot quieter. And you again get used to road noise.
But this thing is huuuge, I saw it at the weekend and was gobsmacked how close it is to peoples houses, I knew they'd built one up the Suffok show ground end, where there aren't houses backing onto it, but this I think anyone would be rightly annoyed to have that built at the bottom of their garden.
What the hell are they storing in it anyway, a bunch of A380s that got lost on the way to Heathrow.
It's stupidly positioned because there's tons of land up there with links to the a14/a12, that aren't backing onto people's houses. So why build there ? |
It's going to be the logistics park for Sizewell C I believe

It's a B8 warehouse not a shed |
Well yes, it’s obviously a warehouse, which is why I was querying why it was being referred to as a shed. Bloody horrible monstrosity. |  |

What?!
This is horrific and feel for them. The only right thing to do here is pay them a few k and at least they have big gardens. Large nice fencing with some quick high growing bushes and at least they can have it all green and natural quite quickly. Not blocking all of it but an improvement. Can only imagine how devastating.
Football - not sure why you have to take something so obviously awful and just make it about "well it was allowed so it was done". Zero empathy. Poor. | |

Was wondering how long it would take for this post. The warehouses are set well back from the properties and behind an existing railway line. There is no right to a private view and property values are not material planning considerations. The site before was not lush Greenfields but a well used lorry park with an allocation in the local plan for many years for warehouses - well before several of these residents bought their houses.
Look at the significant economic investment in the area, job creation, utilisation of a brownfield dilapidated site - these are huge!
Ask me any questions, I was the planner who took the item to Committee |
whilst a lorry park is nearby, the houses are parallel to what was an empty field
It may well have had planning permission for warehouses to built on it, I'd hazard a guess many of the residents owned those houses prior to that being granted in 2013
I'd agree the other warehouses on Felixstowe Road are well setback and the houses on the other side wouldn't have quite the same argument, the size of this one opposite people's back gardens is so big even with a railway line in between, I'd seriously question that statement
I'm not big on NIMBYism but I think the residents here have got a point here and my initial thought driving along that road is how the hell that got planning permission
Have you visited the area since those have been built out of interest, I assume you'd have been presented graphics which would have illustrated just how big these warehouses would be? [Post edited 17 Mar 21:52]

I see it every day, the pics aren’t deceptive.
Would you be happy with that dominating the skyline of the house you’ve lived at years? |
The angle from Look East this evening was actually quite flattering I thought, when you see it from the road it looks a lot worse
They're south facing gardens too, they're surely going to lose some light to those buildings
They had six weeks to launch a judicial review apparently or that's pretty much it, the law isn't really on people's side is it
I'm not a fan of NIMYism, you only have to see my views on the Northern Bypass for that one but there's certainly a limit and you'd struggle not to sympathise with the people living in these houses [Post edited 17 Mar 22:14]

How did it get planning permission? My mum (different area) had planning permission turned down multiple times because it would have an effect on the 'character of the area' (bullsh1t) but this mega box is totally fine? |  |

Your mum’s development probably wouldn’t have lined the pockets of some developers.
I’m in the process of trying to fight the council to stop them stripping the assets out of our village in order to prop up some developers. The deck is massively stacked against normal people and it’s sickening. | | | |

He's a planning officer; his job is to apply planning law to applications. If it's a legal application and it is rejected for whatever reason, the decision will get appealed by the developer, the appeal will almost certainly be successful and then the council probably has a six-figure bill to pay. |  | | |

In contrast you have Ipswich Borough Council turning down applications like this although I suspect there is more going on here than the article is suggesting
https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/24906251.developers-appeal-refusal-ipswich-ra
Obviously it's East Suffolk Council in this case, making decisions right on the edge of Ipswich
As they will have done with Foxhall and Humber Doucy Lane also
Obviously they won't exist in a few years any way with Ipswich hoping to have a Greater Ipswich Council in charge of decisions like this
Suffolk County Council are hoping for a full power grab of the county so that in itself will be interesting to see how that develops | |

I'm not sure if they meant it that way but the way I read it, they seem to be suggesting the economic benefits heavily outweigh the view of the residents
That maybe true and they may claim the warehouses are well setback, I'd debate that given the height of them
I'm sure East Suffolk have followed all the rules, which suggests the rules need to be changed
I'm not big on NIMBYism but I do think the residents have a reasonable argument here [Post edited 18 Mar 10:53]

Interesting choice to deceive us on the lorry park's location and what this specific site used to be: a previously undeveloped field. I was briefly walking in it last year no less (led astray by a footpath sign). | | | |
