Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Welcome the policy commitment to a coordinated approach to the cross-boundary development proposals north of Humber Doucy Lane.

Transport mitigation at this location will be challenging, hence sustainable links to employment and key services must be the priority, coordinated through strong Travel Plans to encourage significant modal shift and a contribution to wider sustainable measures. Further investigation of highway improvements may be necessary.

Based on Plan 1, the nearest local/district centre is some distance from the development; more than 400m. The Council should consider incorporating a requirement for a new local centre in this area, to be determined through masterplanning.
