Respondent: The Ipswich Society

Very much in favour of improving retailing in the town centre with brownfield sites used for residential. Concerned at lack of plans for attracting new employment to the wider Ipswich area and reliance on service growth. Supportive of idea that varied and quality housing will attract people from London and its suburbs. Small speciality shops should be encouraged. Concerned that quality of design is not improving as much as hoped, policy DM5 needs to be strong so poor design is refused. Central Skyline policy and policy on out of town retail (DM23) are supported.
