The potential for sites IP116 (St Clements Hospital), IP257 (Land at Felixstowe Road) and IP10a and b (Felixstowe Road) to provide a new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Felixstowe railway line warrants further consideration. The potential benefits of a well located bridge include increasing healthy travel to a major local centre, schools and sports facilities and reducing trips currently made by car. If proven to be deliverable and desirable, it could warrant inclusion within policy DM45. It should be noted that the County Council has no plans to bring the Bury Road Park and Ride site back into use.
