We, the undersigned, urge Babergh District Council to resist all planning applications for large scale residential building in Hadleigh until such time as:
There is guaranteed infrastructure in Hadleigh including -
1 Roads (Eastern Link Road)
2 High School capacity
3 Sufficient GP Services
4 Adequate surface drainage to prevent flooding in the town
5 A fully researched plan for expansion of the town
Updates
March 16, 2020
I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this effort to protect our town. This momentum really belongs to all of you who care so deeply about our future here.

Before any more development we really require more infrastructure in place, or at least planned. The High school will struggle-as it has done in high birth rate years. The doctors surgery is under pressure even now.
More housing is needed for local people so they should have priority over the dwellings being built. Keep communities together rather than splitting them up. The town amenities can not cope with the amount of people in the town now and certainly won’t with another 250houses
Hadleigh cannot sustain the number of potential residents and traffic arising from a development of this size. Also on ice countryside is built on, it's gone forever leaving our children and future generations less green space to enjoy.
It's just common sense. We need to acknowledge the need for more housing, but it needs to be done in a sensible way, not just for the benefit of the existing residents, but also for the benefit of the new residents that will take up these places. They don't want to be moving to a beautiful town if they can't get a space for their children, or get an appointment to see a GP.
Agreed. Not against development but the infrastructure MUST be in place - I have seen what happens when this is not the case elsewhere in the UK. Planners must not accept a vague promise from developers - if the infrastructure is not there everyone suffers.
Nothing against expansion but the supporting infrastructure has to be in place.
Babergh must LISTEN !

Please dso not grant planning until Hadleigh received the infrastructure to come with the increase in population. We would need more doctors, dentists, vets, another primary and secondary school. The Police station should be manned again and we also need to consider how much more traffic the A1071 can take and contigencies for bottlenecks.
