Draft Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) Development Plan Document

Representation ID: 335

Received: 10/03/2014

Representation Summary:

The redevelopment of the area with a mix of uses is supported but the retention of the Carr St frontage is considered excessive and it is said that it could potentially affect site viability. The frontage is locally listed but the Local Listing SPD does not rule out demolition if a high quality design replaces it. It is suggested that in the Plan, after the stated desire for retention , the text should indicate that demolition will be considered if the replacement is of high quality; alternatively the reference to retention should be removed.

Draft Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) Development Plan Document

Representation ID: 354

Received: 10/03/2014

Respondent: The Ipswich Society

Representation Summary:

Interesting to include the Odeon and Regent, this is the sensible way forward which the Society has been advocating. Some of the retail outlets with more interesting facades should be retained; a possible use might be 'loft' style residences of which Ipswich has few if any.

Representation Summary:

This area is complex and diverse, but the current development principles relating to the historic environment are very generic. There is no mention of archaeology or scheduled monuments. Further refinement of the development principles is needed along with specific criteria for specific sites.

Representation ID: 670

Received: 10/03/2014

Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Upon initial consideration, the County Council has only minor comments to make in relation to the indicative proposals for the six opportunity areas, but highway officers would welcome the opportunity to hold more detailed discussions. Initial issues arising include:
- In redeveloping the Mint Quarter, consideration needs to be given to how traffic will access the site from the East.
- The Mint Quarter development (and associated proposals related to Upper Brook Street) will require consideration as to how development will relate to bus movements in the area.
