The Council in its paper is mis-leading Councillors as the concept of corridors and the green rim was for the corridors to provide access on foot or by cycle to the countryside surrounding Ipswich. That countryside then became known as the green rim and the intention was for the green rim to be protected from development. We note that in subsequent CSs the green rim has been considerably reduced in size, which demonstrates the Council’s lack of commitment to protecting open space and improving biodiversity in its own Plans. The change in definition is effectively non-compliant with policy DM8.
