Persimmon Homes Suffolk has bought land at Henley Gate near Ipswich where they aim to deliver 465 new homes.
Part of the land was purchased from Crest Nicholson and a planning application to confirm additional details may be expected in early 2026.
Stacy Brett, deputy managing director for Persimmon Homes Suffolk, said: “We are keen to deliver these new homes for Ipswich, our first in the town for several years, and meet the growing need locally.
“This site is located in a key area of growth for the town and will offer a range of homes designed for first-time buyers, growing families and those looking to downsize, as well as offering a selection of homes for below market rent and shared ownership.
“Crest Nicholson has done an excellent job with placemaking and ensuring Henley Gate is an attractive place to live. We are excited to play our part in delivering on this vision.”
Savills Chelmsford and Ceres Property acted as joint agents for the site.
Tom Higgins, associate in the development team at Savills Chelmsford, said: “The development represents an exciting opportunity to deliver sustainable growth in the shape of high-quality residential and community uses in a prime location and will significantly contribute to the supply of much-needed new homes in Ipswich and the surrounding area.
“We had strong interest from a number of parties, however from the outset, Persimmon demonstrated a capacity to meet the requirements of the site owners and we look forward to seeing how their plans come to fruition.”
