Object to identification of land west of Tuddenham Road, north of Ipswich Millennium Cemetery as “Land Allocated for Sport Use” on the basis that it is not required for this purpose. The release of the Ipswich School land at Notcutts Field, as part of the allocated Ipswich Garden Suburb is not currently considered viable and is therefore uncertain, whilst in any event the school owns other land that would provide suitable alternative land for replacement playing fields within the vicinity and has already invested significantly into new and improved facilities at its Rushmere St Andrew Sports Centre. It is proposed that the site is allocated for residential development (21.81ha, with capacity for 500 dwellings). Please see accompanying letter for further details.
