Representation Summary:

Ipswich is not "relatively isolated from competing (shopping) centres" as the Council states Ipswich has excellent transport links. There are a number of shopping destinations generally considered better than Ipswich that are easy to access such as Cambridge and Norwich as well as Westfield (Stratford), Lakeside and of course London. Smaller centres with more upmarket shopping are available at Bury St Edmunds, Woodbridge and Aldeburgh. As stated in Para 8.157 there is no room for complacency.
