Paragraph 8.28 refers to transport mitigation measures required for the development of the site at Humber Doucy Lane being "challenging". This is not considered to be the case. Re-iterate earlier submissions in relation to accessibility of the site:
-Good public transport accessibility;
-Good road access;
-Good accessibility to services and facilities;
-Town centre and hospital easily accessed by public transport;
-Development of site promotes sustainable transport in accordance with NPPF;
-Transport Modelling Report concludes housing growth can be accommodated;
-Proposals will not influence northern bypass route.
Current reference to "challenging" transport mitigation measures not justified. Recommend amendment to paragraph 8.28.
Paragraph 8.28 should be amended to read:
"The site allocation at the northern end of Humber Doucy Lane is located at the edge of Ipswich approximately 3.5km from the town centre. Sustainable transport connections will be key to providing linkage to employment and other opportunities. In addition, it is acknowledged that transport mitigation measures are required for the development of the site and it is essential that significant modal shift is delivered through strong travel plans and other sustainable measures"
