Support this policy but nothing to demonstrate how it can be implemented.

IBC is failing to improve access in Ipswich in breach of Policy CS5. More needs to be done otherwise the modal switch assumptions used in the traffic modelling are too high and unsound.

During the duration of the current Local Plan and despite the agreement of the Cycling SPD, we have seen no improvements to the cycle network. All that has happened is the removal of the cycle lane of Felixstowe Road and the Cornhill works which have blocked a cycle route.

Evidence of improvements since the cycling SPD was adopted should be provided.

Approve of the aim of this policy. Support the introduction of innovative transport and parking solutions to tackle congestion, as well as a simpler and cost-effective park and ride scheme, better bus services, more electric vehicle charging points and cycle route improvements.

Support proposals that create better links between the retail centre and both the railway station and the waterfront. There is an urgent need for the provision of a taxi-rank on the Waterfront. We would like to see the case for this made in the Local Plan.

We hope the Council continues to back our A14 campaign.

The company generally welcomes, and supports, initiatives that are designed to minimise the need to travel and promote foot, bicycle and public transport travel modes.

It also welcomes the recognition that some journeys will need to be made by car, although it is disappointed that only the Town Centre is specifically mentioned as being a location, the vitality and viable of which, depends upon access by a variety of transport modes. the Company is of the view that this needs to be expanded to include the whole of the IP-One Area.

Joint Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Strategy - Outcome 2: Improving independent life for people with physical and learning disabilities:

The Plan could set out a stronger framework for consideration of the accessibility of the built environment. Policy CS5 refers to accessibility in respect of transport but does not directly refer to the varying needs of the population as a whole apart from in supporting text (Paragraph 8.88). The Borough Council should consider moving this requirement into policy - to complement what is in DM12.

Telereal considers that this draft policy supports an increase in the density of its Site. The location of the Site minimises the need for travel as it is located 800m from Ipswich town centre, which comprises a number of community and leisure facilities. The nearest supermarket to the Site is Aldi, which is located approximately 225m to the west of the Site. The nearest Primary School and GP Surgery are located in easy walking distance from the Site (400m).

Site also benefits from its location to sustainable modes of transport.

Site should accommodate a greater density given its location.

To highlight the importance of designing out crime it would be beneficial to further define safe walking and cycling to include segregation cycle/pedestrian routes. Also, to ensure that secure parking and cycle storage means adherence to the relevant SBD standards (including Park Mark for all car parks)
