The multiple layers of the Ipswich Vision, IP-One areas, and site allocations do not provide a clear strategic direction for central Ipswich. Refinement of approach to provide clarity is essential. This clarity should include consideration of the need to conserve and enhance the historic environment. This is most apparent in the connectivity between the town centre and the Waterfront, which involves a number of designated heritage assets and their settings. We would recommend a review of the Central and Wet Dock conservation area appraisals and their boundaries as part of the evidence base for the new local plan.
