Respondent: Suffolk Chamber of Commerce

Suffolk Chamber supports the continued development of the Waterfront as a significant cultural and leisure hub and economic driver in the town. We support the Council's wish to regenerate and provide sustainable growth in this area alongside the Portman Quarter. Likewise, we support the development of the town's retail offer but welcome the focus on new office, hotel, culture and leisure developments in and around the town. As a caveat however, we would like to see further research on hotel use to ensure any new hotels will be occupied and not sat surplus to demand.
