Not in a place to comment on the majority of the sites. The main parks in Ipswich should be kept at all costs (Christchurch, Hollywells, Landseer). Murrayfield Park should be kept as this is an important area for dog walking without this area this would make dog walkers take their dogs to Landseer Park where they have been a number of dog attacks and a huge amount of litter. Without Murrayfield Park we would drive to a safe park or field which would have impacts on traffic/pollution etc.

Site allocations: Historic England advocates a wide definition of the historic environment which includes not only those areas and buildings with statutory designated protection but also those which are locally valued and important, as well as the landscape and townscape components of the historic environment. At an early stage when assessing site allocations it is important to include the impact on heritage assets. See advice note 3. If a site is allocated, we would expect to see reference to the need to conserve and seek opportunities to enhance the on-site or nearby heritage assets and their setting.

Land at Cliff Quay is allocated for employment use under Policy SP5 (Ref. IP067).
In earlier versions of the Site Allocations DPD, IBC put the site forward for a similar form of development and for 50% housing at low density (50 dwellings) and 50% employment. It would be possible to accommodate housing to the north of the site adjoining the existing residential land uses and to provide employment land further to the south adjacent to the employment uses with a buffer zone in the middle. We request that the proposal should be amended to include residential development alongside employment uses.

The number of residents living in the town centre has increased, but nowhere near enough. The Plan must help to stimulate new residential development, particularly that differentiated from the high number of apartments currently in existence. Town housing developments throughout the Eastgate and Westgate Quarters should be encouraged.
