Why don't IBC planners understand the local area? My concerns are the planning department are antiquated in thoughts and if it doesn't affect them personally they are not bothered. Offer strange advice which makes me feel they do not understand the local area or community.
IBC need to engage directly with the community. Do we need to infill every spare bit of land with housing? No. There are so many empty buildings and half built things in Ipswich and these should be looked at first.
There is nothing for the people of Ipswich to make them stay.
