Representation ID: 5192

Respondent: Mrs Vicki Liner

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

This policy is unsound as regards development of Ipswich Garden Suburb as mentioned. The Core Strategy seeks to allocate all designated land for development within the plan period before the detailed design and agreement of the supporting infrastructure. Of particular concern is the lack of definition of the required road development. It is unrealistic to build 3500 homes and expect the current Henley/Westerfield/Tuddenham & Colchester road system to accommodate the extra traffic. There will be a huge negative impact on traffic levels in this area on all local residents.
