Again I refer to this apparent lack of land within Ipswich's boundary. E14/E17 could have been an ideal location for residential development, however it was used as a low job car sales area. Why? Land either side of West End Road needs to be improved visually (sorry I cannot locate it on the map) the old Marshall Jag site should be used for residential and the tatty car scrap yard as well (on other side of the road). E12 should not be retained. E15 should be retained at all costs as I believe this is a well supported employment zone.

There are suitable sites which are currently located in employment areas which could be reallocated to housing. One such site is the land at 17-19 Holywells Road, Ipswich (plan uploaded) owned by FIS Property Limited and Landex Limited, within Employment Area 11 (Holywells Close and Holywells Road). The site is currently in use but not used efficiently, having regard to its highly sustainable location within IP-One between the Wet Dock and Holywells Park. It provides an excellent opportunity for redevelopment/part redevelopment to provide both residential and employment development, e.g. commercial/ employment space at ground floor level with residential above. It can be redeveloped without compromising or being compromised by the remainder of the employment area.

Whilst we do not have any recommendations for employment sites that could be re-allocated to residential use, it should be noted that employment site E15 includes Ransomes Europark Heathland CWS. Consideration of any use types in this area must ensure that the CWS is secured and suitably protected.

The majority of the operational area of the Port of Ipswich is identified in Employment Areas E9 and E12. Within and surrounding these areas there may be sites which are suitable for other alternative uses and redevelopment (eg for housing). ABP is concerned that any development proposals that may
be brought forward in these circumstances are sympathetic to port operations, particularly in respect of the juxtaposition and orientation of new development to ongoing port activity and the potential traffic impacts that this new development may have on already constrained access routes into and around the Port.

With a high jobs target a wide variety of employment land is needed to provide flexibility in the employment land market. The requirements of businesses vary significantly and to meet the jobs target an over provision of employment land is required. This approach was found sound in the recent local plan examination in the Borough.

The Boss Hall Industrial Estate is currently allocated as an employment site (E4) and protected under Policy DM25, where it is safeguarded for employment and ancillary uses. The Society is currently preparing a redevelopment/re-use scheme for a package of proposed uses that would provide further employment opportunities (including a variety of smaller B1/B2 units) and an appropriate range of compatible retail and leisure uses on this part of the industrial estate to enhance the current provision and provide additional services for the existing businesses.
