The Spatial Strategy under Section 6.9 of the Plan fails to give adequate emphasis to the Ipswich Garden Suburb as a key element of the spatial strategy for Ipswich. We do not consider that this provides for effective plan-making. Section 6.9 is heavily weighted in favour of the town centre and waterfront. IGS is referenced in a single sentence only (6.17), but is the single largest source of new homes (including family homes) proposed. IGS, which is essential to Ipswich's growth and prosperity, must be given prominence in the spatial strategy so Borough-wide infrastructure and investment decisions can be made.
