ABP supports the allocation of Site IP037 - Island Site for employment as part of a mixed use development. Given the nascent proposals for the site, the notional area/split set out in the policy can only be indicative at this stage. ABP welcomes the recognition in the Policy that the precise split should be a matter for a future master plan.

It does not appear that any sites are undeliverable for transport reasons when considered individually and if an assumption is made that proper provision is made for sustainable transport measures and highway mitigation. This statement needs to be considered against those made on the Core Strategy and cumulative transport impacts.

The approach to proposals for retail development in the Site Allocations Plan is at odds with the evidence base and crucially underplays the need to accommodate retail growth in the town. Applekirk Properties Ltd supports the allocation of sites IP043, IP136, IP052 and IP035 for mixed use development that will contribute to the regeneration of the Waterfront/Merchant's Quarter, but objects to the failure to provide for retail development in excess of 200 sq m within these sites. Policies CS2, CS3 and CS5 fail to meet the requirement for comparison retail identified in the evidence base.

The company's land located off Toller Road is annotated on the proposals map as a
site to be used exclusively for employment purposes. This is considered to be unduly restrictive in the context of a still uncertain economy and ignores attempts to market the site for employment use over 10 years. The policy ought to reflect that at the very least an element of other land uses e.g. limited retail and/or residential should be incorporated into the policy for the allocation of the specific parcel of land (reference 208). The allocation should be changed or mixed use to deliver regeneration.

Ashfield Land supports the identification of the site 'Land North of Whitton Lane' Site ref IP140 (UC257) for employment development. The site is strategically located within the Ipswich Policy Area beside the A14 and adjoins the existing Anglia Park employment area. Table 3 within draft policy SP5 notes the site is 'suitable primarily for B1 with some B2 and B8'. Whilst the introduction of reference to classes B2 and B8 is welcomed, the emphasis on class B1 remains adversely restrictive.
