SCDC supports the principle of increasing open spaces and ensuring they complement development proposals, but objects to the green rim which crosses the Ipswich administrative boundary. It could have significant policy implications for the Council's site allocations work. Locations bordering Ipswich are broadly considered sustainable due to proximity to services, infrastructure and facilities. Allocating parts as green rim is likely to cause future conflict between protecting green field sites and potential allocation of land through Suffolk Coastal's Local Plan. The Council has concerns about implementing this policy and future management arrangements for these areas.

Crest supports the principle of establishing broad locations for green corridors and notes that a green corridor is proposed which affects the Northern Fringe (Plan 1/DM33c.). Crest also notes IBC's approach to the 'green rim' around Ipswich (para. 4.10). Crest supports the strategic approach to green corridors set out in Core Strategy Policy CS16 and the more detailed approach in this DPD. However, Crest requests that developers have input to the detailed mapping of green corridors, particularly for sites like the Northern Fringe, which undergo significant masterplanning and negotiation and benefit from flexibility in how policies are applied.
