Completing the regeneration of the waterfront should be given greater prominence in the vision, given the area's importance, and the Council must make the maximum possible use of brownfield sites in accordance with the NPPF. The new reference to additional short-stay parking to support shopping/tourism in the town centre is understandable but the vision should be broader and include e.g. better information and improved linkages between the centre and surrounding car parks. The County Council seeks reassurances that the car parking policy and allocations will support Travel Ipswich. The vision should aim to improve the town's health and wellbeing.
