frank tunstall: Assuming that your aerial is directed at Sudbury, then the Commercial channels should hopefully become available to you on 27th June when their transmission power is to that of the Public Service ones.

frank tunstall: Sorry, I see you specifically referred to Bramford transmitter. The answer is no, the Commercial operators aren't likely to ever transmit from there. They use about 80 of the largest (by viewer population) transmission sites in the country from which they achieve coverage of 90% of the population.
They were invited to increase that coverage and declined. To broadcast from the 1000 or so relays not included would roughly double their costs of transmission.
See Will there ever be more services on the Freeview Light transmitters? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for a fuller explanation.
The predictor suggests that you might be able to receive directly from Tacolneston. There are houses on High Street that have aerials on Tacolneston.
Of course, assuming that there aren't any trees that might be an issue, an aerial on top of the three storey flats in which you reside would mean that the aerial is higher up (assuming that you or an installer acting on your behalf has access).
That does beg the question, if you have a communal aerial, why does it point at Bramford and not Tacolneston (or Sudbury) ?
