This should be a high density development of 2 storey homes rising to three/four close to centres. Whilst the SPD encourages sustainable transport, we see little to discourage car ownership and use when travelling off site. Innovative thinking is needed: the railway companies should consider providing services from Westerfield to Ipswich station and east-west bus services should be investigated. Cycle routes into Ipswich must be direct, convivial, convenient and prioritised over motor traffic. Correct provision of car parking on the site is a major challenge in terms of number and location. Traffic calming should be designed in throughout the development.
