Full text:

Rushmere St Andrew Parish Council is concerned about the inclusion of land at the northern end of Humber Doucy Lane adjacent to Tuddenham Road. We are specifically concerned regarding the implications for increased traffic on the Woodbridge to Claydon corridor via Playford Road, Rushmere Street and Humber Doucy Lane.

We feel that this development should not take place until a northern relief road has been developed. Large developments are included in the Suffolk Coastal Local Plan for Brightwell Lakes, Suffolk Police Headquarters at Portal Avenue Martlesham Heath and Humber Doucy Lane, Rushmere St Andrew. This, together with the above mentioned allocation in the Ipswich Local Plan lead us to feel that this plan should make provision for enhancements for roads both within Ipswich Borough and neighbouring authorities.
