Enhancing any existing routes around the fringe of Ipswich which are not going to impact upon the network of designated sites would be a logical progression for forming the core of the green rim.
It will be important that cyclists and walkers are accommodated by separate paths to ensure that conflict does not arise between the two user groups.
The width of the green rim should not be fixed, as it needs to take in to account existing habitat features and sensitives. Evidence for landscape-scale conservation clearly sets out that the wider and more connected the better.
