Both Beeson Properties Ltd and RCP Parking object to the delineation of the central parking core as shown on the proposals map and consider that it should be changed and extended to include a number of sites which are making a very effective contribution towards parking provision for the people of Ipswich and will do so and can do so for the foreseeable future.

RCP Parking Ltd considers that the whole approach to the control of parking in the central area is hopelessly aspirational and undeliverable and ignores the very real contribution that sites such as those that they operate at Burrell Road, Duke Street/Orwell Quay, Handford Road, lower Orwell Street, Princes Street, Ranelagh Road, Rose Lane, St Peter's warehouse Bridge Street make to the people working, shopping and undertaking leisure in Ipswich. There is no detail as to the viability/deliverability of these proposed multi-storey car parks a number of which have been aspirational intentions in previous Local Plans. None have been delivered.

Revisions to car parking in the town centre should take account of the historic environment issues in regard to location and design of new car parks and release of existing car parks for other development. Many surface car parks have considerable archaeological potential and some are designated as scheduled monuments and lie within the area of archaeological importance.

The approach taken by policy DM57, in intending to support the town centre economy whilst limiting congestion, is welcomed. Detailed consideration of this policy and the area identified as a Central Car Parking core, as part of on-going discussions between both authorities, would be worthwhile. Further to the County Council's objection to the Core Strategy Focused Review vision, the Council seeks reassurances that the car parking policy and allocations will support the Travel Ipswich scheme.
