Without an additional access to the A14, the plans for sustainable travel will fail. The development will worsen motorist aggression towards cyclists/pedestrians. Assumptions about homeworking are unrealistic - economic sustainability should be considered and development synchronised with clear economic activity in Ipswich. Colchester/Valley/Norwich Roads are already at capacity and are a contingency route when the Orwell Bridge closes. The extra Northern Fringe traffic will bring it to a standstill and impact on emergency services. A northern bypass should be included in the plan. Also concerned that it could set a precedent for further greenfield development around the periphery of Ipswich.
