Support regeneration objectives for IP-One area. Important elements of the Port within or adjacent to area. Development should have regard to existing port uses/activities to ensure they are protected. Concerned to ensure right and ability to use land and infrastructure for port purposes is retained and Port’s 'significant (economic) role' and ability to expand is protected. Request that recognition is made to the Port and other important existing employment/activities within/adjoining IP-One area which the Council wishes to safeguard and support. Development should be sensitive to existing uses and avoid potential impacts which may prejudice the continued operation/expansion of these uses.
Request the addition of a new criterion into any new policy based on Policy CS3:
“New development should be sensitive to existing uses (including those at the Port of Ipswich) and avoid potential impacts which may prejudice the continued operation and, where appropriate, expansion of these uses.”
Note and support the inclusion of similar wording to this effect in Policy CS13.
