Rowley Drive Consultation
Rowley Drive Scheme – Public Consultation Update
We’ve now completed the public consultation for the Rowley Drive Scheme.
The consultation ran from Thursday 18 September to Monday 3 November 2025, and there were several ways to get involved and share your thoughts.
We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended one of the consultation events and took the time to provide feedback.
Your views are really important and will help shape the future of the scheme - so thank you again.
We’re now taking some time to review all the feedback and explore how it can be reflected in the design before we look to submit the masterplan to West Suffolk Council towards the end of the year.
What is The Rowley Drive Masterplan?
The Rowley Drive masterplan is a vision showing how the area could be improved. It sets out a clear aspiration for change, with key principles and ideas about how this could happen.
It is not a detailed design or a planning application, but a flexible framework that will help to shape future plans for the community which has been, and will continue to be, shaped by residents.
