Site IP256, synthetic turf pitch (STP) owned by the Ipswich Sports Club is fully available an surplus to the club's requirements and development plans. A preliminary study both of STP facilities in the wider Ipswich catchment, together with the development of its own alternative facilities and those both under construction/planned within the immediate catchment area reaffirm the position that this site is surplus. Moreover, the total opposition by the LPA and residential neighbours to floodlights which would enhance usage prospects for the facility renders the pitch useless for hockey and other sport. The site is available short-term rather than medium.
