Development
Building a new community
An outline planning permission was approved in April 2018 by Suffolk Coastal District Council for a sustainable, 2,000-home community in Martlesham. Taylor Wimpey purchased the site in 2021 and will bring forward this new community in phases.
We are building a new community at Brightwell Lakes so people who live locally can stay in the area they love, with homes to suit every part of life, whether that’s buying a first home, starting a family, or downsizing. Brightwell Lakes is for everyone.

The Masterplan
Brightwell Lakes is a perfect place to live. With a range of community facilities including a community centre, local places to eat, drink and shop, sports pitches, allotments and play areas, everything you need is on your doorstep.
Brightwell Lakes is also a place to learn and work, with a brand-new all-through school and employment areas.
With an extensive network of cycle and pedestrian paths, everything is within easy reach.

Phasing
The development will be phased over a period of approximately 17 years with individual phases coming forward at a time. Each of these phases will be subject to individual reserved matters applications. These applications will provide the detail required to discharge the conditions attached to the outline application.
The first two phases have been approved by East Suffolk District Council with the first homes set to be ready by February 2024.
