I object to the allocation of site IP261 Land at River Hill, adjacent to Bramford, for a permanent Gypsy and Traveller site, under Ipswich Borough Council's policy DM41. The proposal is unsustainable socially, economically and environmentally. The proposal and the conduct of Ipswich BC also fail to meet the requirements of the Statement of Community Involvement.
1) The site is not suitable with regard to the gypsies' own safety
2) The proposed use of the site poses traffic dangers to the public
3) It represents an unreasonable concentration of gypsy sites near Bramford
4) It has a harmful effect on local amenity with the oss of the "Green belt" round Ipswich
5) It does not support integration due to the concentration of travellers on one side of Ipswich and separated from it by a major road.
6) It ignores local perceptions of identity
The requirements for economic, social and environmental sustainability in Planning Policy for Traveller Sites clause 11 are not met (with the exception of 11g)
Is there an alternative site? None have nbeen evaluated apart FORM A FEW FORMERLY USED
Ipswich BC have not complied with their obligations under the NPPF and their own Statement of Community Involvement
