Unless substantive evidence of progress on planning for a northern bypass can be demonstrated, paragraph 8.213 is simply an aspirational remark and should be deleted. Paragraph 8.213 continues to raise the prospect of a northern bypass, which has been under consideration for decades, but has limited prospect of delivery in the absence a delivery mechanism. If it were to be brought forward, it would be a significant influence on Ipswich's development strategy, including IGS. Therefore, the Council should be careful in pushing the agenda for a bypass without there being a more certain prospect of this option being properly investigated.
