BDC/MSDC notes that paragraph 8.240 supports the aspiration for a northern bypass and that the merits and options are fully investigated. However while the justifications regards the Orwell Bridge are accepted BDC/MSDC are concerned about the traffic impacts of the Northern Fringe on congestion given the development is being brought forward early. We are also concerned to understand the impacts on rural roads/villages that lie to the north of the development (such as Claydon/Coddenham), would this require any element of the northern by pass and if so that Policy CS20 should be revised accordingly.
