Support for safeguarding of defined Employment Areas in DM36, including particularly land within the Ipswich Port estate at the West Bank (9) and Cliff Quay (12). Request for clear cross-referencing of the defined Employment Areas listed in Policy DM36 on the policies map. Request for consents/licences under both the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 and the Dangerous Substances in Harbour Areas Regulations 1987 within the Port area and the activities they permit be acknowledged in the DPD and in appropriate other policies and allocations where the DPD addresses potential new development in the vicinity.
ABP supports the safeguarding of the defined Employment Areas identified in Policy DM36 including, particularly, its land within the Ipswich Port estate at the West Bank (9) and Cliff Quay (12). In respect of this policy:
i) The reference numbers provided for each area do not appear to link to a specific identified annotation on the policies map. We request that the policies map should be amended and annotated accordingly to identify these Employment Areas; and
ii) Within ABP's estate, a number of consents exist under both the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 and the Dangerous Substances in Harbour Areas Regulations 1987. These consents/licences permit the handling and storage of explosive substances at Ro-Ro Berths 1 and 2 on the West Bank and at the Power Station Berth on Cliff Quay, and the handling and storage of hazardous substances including ammonium nitrate fertilizer at Cliff Quay and in the area around the former Vopak Terminal. The effect of these consents/licences is to potentially restrict the types of uses which are appropriate within defined limits of the areas in which these hazardous activities are permitted. These licenses/consents, and the activities they permit, are an important element of the infrastructure and facilities that the Port is able to offer to its customers and which, therefore, ABP would wish to vigorously safeguard. In this context, the existence of these consents/licences and the activities they permit should be acknowledged in the DPD and in appropriate other policies and allocations where the DPD addresses potential new development in the vicinity.

Corindale properties Ltd. object to the allocation of its land in Toller Road exclusively for employment purposes and consider that such an allocation is unduly restrictive, ignores the market and the experience of that market over the last 10 years and in future prospect. At the very least, an element of other uses such as limited retail and residential should be incorporated either into the policy or the allocation for the land be changed to that of a mixed use reflecting what is needed to deliver sites in the foreseeable future thereby contributing towards the regeneration of Ipswich.

Respondent: Ashfield Land Limited
Identification of the 'Ipswich Business Park' north of Whitton Church Lane ( Ref 140b) (UC257) is supported by Ashfield Land as a site for employment development. The site is strategically located within the Ipswich Policy Area beside the A14 and adjoins the existing Anglia Park employment area. The land within Ashfield Land's ownership can come forward now and its development, together with land within the ownership of Ipswich BC, does not preclude or pre-determine the form of development taking place on land to the north within Mid Suffolk.

The policy lists the defined employment areas, however, the cross reference to Core Strategy policy DM25 reaffirms the deficiencies of not having a specific policy to address established employment activities on port sites.
