BECCLES, EAST SUFFOLK
A vision for a new garden neighbourhood
We hold an Option Agreement over two thirds of the southern allocated site at Beccles – which incorporates 720 of the proposed homes, as well as employment land, education facilities, retail and other complimentary land uses.
The vision for the site is built on the principles of Garden Villages, which are an approach to urban development dating as far back as the 1920s with the creation of Welwyn Garden City. Today, garden villages, neighbourhoods and cities are defined by healthy living, associated community and employment areas and amenities that sustain communities to be self-sufficient.
This site brings our decades of experience together, with our team having been involved in creating multiple 1,000+ home communities across the East Midlands and East Anglia regions.
Extensive engagement with local communities
The site is identified in the East Suffolk plan for a development of 1,250 new homes plus supporting infrastructure. Our outline planning application has been the subject of considerable pre-application discussion with the Local Planning Authority (LPA) and other statutory consultees over several years to address major environmental and infrastructure matters associated with the site’s master planning and development. We’ve also consulted with communities as recently as September 2024.
While this delayed submission of the planning application, we saw as part of our development strategy, that these major issues should be resolved prior to submission of the outline planning application – to ensure an earlier and more informed determination once submitted.
This is an example of navigating the planning system smartly, of knowing when and and how to submit your application in a manner that will give it the best chance of success.
Delivering large-scale sites
If approved, Phoenix Strategic Land is also in agreement to promote the commercial areas secured under the planning permission to a range of retail and commercial end users.
This is a site that demonstrates the ability of our team to successfully manage large scale development through contracting, promotion to secure an allocation, and the problem solving that is so often a key requirement for major scale residential land promotion.

GLINTON, PETERBOROUGH
Responding to landowners and engaging communities
Located just to the north of Peterborough, the site at Glinton was originally held under an Option Agreement and promoted for residential development in 2017 and 2018. However, after an initial planning application was refused, the landowner expressed an interest in selling the freehold and Phoenix Strategic Land purchased the site without a planning status.In 2023 and 2024, we started promoting the site through the LPA Local Plan review alongside pre-application public consultation – which proactively consulted and communicated with stakeholders and the local community
about the proposal.
Navigating a complex planning system
Phoenix submitted an outline planning application in September 2024. While this was refused by the LPA in February 2025, the site was subsequently identified as a draft allocation in the Local Plan review, published in April 2025. We had already decided to appeal the LPA’s refusal of planning permission, with a belief in the potential of the site to address local need – and because of the site’s draft allocation status in the Local Plan, the LPA decided not to contest our planning appeal, and we received planning permission in July 2025.
Delivering housing, green space and biodiversity
This was a site that demonstrates the complexity of the planning system, the time it can take to successfully achieve planning approval – and our flexibility in meeting the needs and wishes of the landowner. Alongside the consented 95 new homes, our plans include a wildflower meadow, public open space, and allotments as part of green infrastructure and biodiversity net gain (BNG) to make the development a sustainable and pleasant addition to the village of Glinton.
