Full text:

I object to the proposed development as a GRT site due to the following reason:
The site would be considered unsuitable for housing development due to the un acceptable noise from the A14. I therefore feel that we should not expect members of the GRT community to live in an area were noise levels would be considered unacceptable in housing never mind in a caravan were soundproofing is not good.

I also have concerns regarding access to the site as the vision onto the road is poor and the site entry point is concealed. I also feel that as the west meadow site backs onto the other side of the A14 and I feel that this is a accident risk as people try to cross between the two sites.

Finally when I purchased my property I wanted to live in a village ( for which I paid a price for my property which reflected this village location). I feel this development will erode further the boundary between Ipswich and Bramford therefore leading to the identity as a village disappearing. Ipswich as traditionally maintained a greenbelt around it's boundaries and I feel this should be retained.
