Object to policy DM41/site IP261. The entrance to the site is dangerous being on a bend on a very busy road and the position of the site is unsuitable, lying immediately beside the A14 - not suitable for any residential use. The entrance to the site is in a potentially dangerous situation, already a place of many near-misses with vehicles and for that reason no other hazard should be added. A better site would be on the Ipswich side of the A14 with a through road from Bramford Road to the roundabout near Morrisons store.
The site at River Hill is potentially quite dangerous and in my view should not be made available for residential use of any kind. It is directly adjacent to the A14 dual carriageway which has constant use day and night. Added to this the entrance to the site is in a potentially dangerous situation on a bend with parked cars just round the curve, beside the pillars of the A14 & opposite the entrance to several businesses. This is already a place of many near-misses with vehicles and for that reason no other hazard should be added. In my opinion a better site would be on the Ipswich side of the A14 between Bramford Road and the railway, also with a through road from Bramford Road to the roundabout near Morrisons store. This would help to relieve the congestion in the present road and improve road safety.
