Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 24674

Received: 16/10/2017

Respondent: Alice Martin

Representation Summary:

Developments may be well designed in the first instance but the Council desperately needs to ensure that new developments are kept in a good state of repair. The social housing scheme off Hawes Street is a dump compared to the architects designs - the render is in an awful condition. building on the waterfront still hasn't been repaired after a storm a number of years ago. The Sir Bobby Robson bridge is covered in green algae. Better quality wooden cladding should be used as relatively new developments are beginning to look tatty because poor quality cladding is rotting.
