Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 25349

Received: 26/10/2017

Respondent: Greenways Countryside Project

Agent: Mr James Baker

Representation Summary:

More accessible natural greenspace is required in addition to the new Garden Suburb countrypark to meet the needs of a growing population/biodiversity. Although very positive, the new GS country park is small for the numbers of people living in the area. Expansion of natural greenspace around the green rim (from the GS country park and generally) is vital to increase the diversity of greenspace offered and accessibility to more residents. Pond Hall Farm should be included within Orwell Country Park to allow visitors to be drawn away from the protected estuary on routes that will cause less disturbance to wildlife.
