Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) DPD Review - Final Draft

Representation ID: 26241

Received: 25/02/2020

Respondent: Ortona Properties Ltd

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Bus station is included within Opportunity Area B, however IP054b should be extended north to include the bus station. The future redevelopment of part/ all of the site could enhance connectivity by providing a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use area to link Turret Lane to Dogs Head Lane and the Buttermarket. The land (in red) is under lease as a bus station, however given wider regeneration aims for this area, IP054b should be extended north to cover the opportunity area. This would ensure that the plan remains flexible over the plan period, particularly towards the end and ensure plan soundness.

Change suggested by respondent:

Extend IP054B northwards to cover the Opportunity Area B/ Cattlemarket Bus Station (Merchants Quarter).
