Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 25455

Received: 30/10/2017

Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Representation Summary:

Access to the natural environment and open space improves health and wellbeing by providing opportunities for physical activity, being beneficial to mental health and reducing health inequalities. If IBC does choose to re-allocate open space for housing, the need for people to access the outdoors should still be met. For all sites indicated in the plan, development proposals would need to be considered in relation to policies relating to archaeology. Factors to consider may be that for A, 3 skeletons were found in 1912, which may be evidence of more extensive burial, the site of St Botolphs Church lies between E and F, which may have implications for development, Sites M, N and O are in areas of cropmarks relating to historic settlement.
