The 'Save Mill Mount Field' Campaign
In June 2018, Cheshire-based Property Developers Gladman Land submitted a planning application to build 160 dwellings on agricultural land between Combs Ford and Combs Village at the top of Poplar Hill. The field is historically known as Mill Mount Field. It forms part of a locally cherished landscape vista and provides a superb view of the Grade I listed St Mary's Church, Combs.
There are many issues of local concern regarding this application including the marring of this special landscape and increased traffic congestion.
The application has already met with significant local objections. A community network has been set up to provide a focus for these issues and further explore the impact on the communities of Stowmarket, Combs Ford and Combs Village.
