Onehouse parish has embarked on a Neighbourhood Plan
The Neighbourhood Plan is a community-led vision for the future of our area. It will set out how we would like our parish to develop over the coming years, guiding decisions on new homes, local facilities, green spaces, and infrastructure.
Created by local residents, the Plan will reflect what matters most to our community, shaped through consultation and other evidence.
Once approved, the Neighbourhood Plan will become part of the statutory planning framework. This means it carries real weight in shaping future planning applications and helping us protect what we value while supporting appropriate, sustainable growth.
Vision for Onehouse (September 2025)
Onehouse will continue to be a thriving rural community, with each area of the parish retaining its own identity, remaining distinct from Stowmarket.
Any growth within the parish will be sympathetically designed and meet the needs of residents and businesses, supported by good facilities and infrastructure.
Safe walking and cycling routes will connect the countryside, the parish and the surrounding areas. Any development will be sustainable, with the natural environment protected and enhanced.
Onehouse will remain a flourishing community where people of all ages are able to live.
