Respondent: Crest Strategic Projects

This policy states that major development will only be permitted provided it respects the character of the countryside. The supporting text (paragraph 4.29) states that countryside at the periphery of the Borough is not physically remote, but development which would be relatively isolated regarding access to public transport and facilities should be avoided. Crest supports the practice of sensitively designing development sites with the potential to affect countryside character. Crest supports the allocation of the Northern Fringe as the best opportunity to deliver a new community and provide an appropriate transition between the existing urban area and countryside in Ipswich.
