Support the requirement for open space provision, the country park and the requirement for an SPD. However, it is queried why the requirement for "prior adoption" of the SPD has been replaced by "preparation" of an SPD which suggests development could now take place before the SPD is complete or adopted. It is essential that the country park and associated green infrastructure links are provided during the first phase of any development and are ready for use before dwellings are occupied, to avoid potential disturbance to ground nesting birds in the Sandlings SPA arising from recreational visits by Ipswich residents.
