Information on housing development phasing needs to be included in Policy CS10, in line with statements in the SPD and the fact that the currently adopted Core Strategy states that development will start in the Southern Section. Ipswich Borough Council has also stated that 'The site will be constructed in planned phases. Each phase will have a master plan to minimise the impact on existing communities'.
Westerfield Parish Council requests that residential development phasing should be included in the Core Strategy as a matter of policy which will also correct current anomalies between the SPD and new revised Core Strategy.

Ipswich Borough Council has also stated that 'The site will be constructed in planned phases. Each phase will have a master plan to minimise the impact on existing communities'. Section 7.15 of the SPD refers to Policy CS10 in the Core Strategy stating that development will commence in the Fonnereau (southern) section. However this has been removed in the revised version. Section 7.16 in the SPD states that the new CS10 policy defines the point in time when residential development will commence in the Garden Suburb areas. This appears not to be the case. Westerfield Parish Council requests that residential development phasing should be included in the Core Strategy as a matter of policy which will also correct current anomalies between the SPD and new revised Core Strategy.
