Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 24771

Received: 30/10/2017

Respondent: Mr Andrew Hunter

Representation Summary:

The local plan could aid the unlocking of the Island site for redevelopment and generate cash for the delivery of the proposed Upper Orwell Crossing, plus contributions from the landowner, ABP Ports, which would clearly benefit from such redevelopment.
