The Ipswich Garden Suburb is located in an area which is away from the areas of main employment and the town centre. It is unlikely many of the residents of the proposed 3,500 houses will walk or cycle to work, and direct transport connections will only be to the town centre. So, although the need to travel will be minimised through the existence of local services on site, as far as employment accessibility is concerned, we doubt whether this aspiration will be met.
