CONSULTATION GUIDE
ANOTHER PUBLIC CONSULTATION WILL FOLLOW
The application will not be considered by Suffolk County Council’s planning committee on 20th October as previously expected.
TRU7 will instead submit further documentation, after which another public consultation will take place.
When the documents are published, the Stop the Quarry team will review them and update this page with:
-
a summary of what has changed;
-
the key issues arising from the new information;
-
our assessment of whether previous concerns have been addressed;
-
links to the relevant documents; and
-
guidance on how to submit comments to Suffolk County Council.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY OBJECTED
In October 2025, Suffolk County Council (SCC) asked the applicant — TRU7 — to provide more information about their industrial pit application. In February 2026, TRU7 submitted their responses.
Their response covered 11 topics including transport, noise & vibration, air quality and a ‘Need Case.’
Fundamentally, none of the new information mitigates the harm an industrial pit in this area would cause. The B1077 is still not fit for purpose – the proposed industrial pit is still the wrong development in the wrong area.
The application remains entirely for private greed, not public need.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
There is nothing you need to resubmit at this stage.
Sign up for our email and WhatsApp updates and we will let you know when the consultation opens and our updated guidance is available.
Thank you for continuing to support the campaign.
