Bus station is included within Opportunity Area B, however IP054b should be extended north to include the bus station. The future redevelopment of part/ all of the site could enhance connectivity by providing a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use area to link Turret Lane to Dogs Head Lane and the Buttermarket. The land (in red) is under lease as a bus station, however given wider regeneration aims for this area, IP054b should be extended north to cover the opportunity area. This would ensure that the plan remains flexible over the plan period, particularly towards the end and ensure plan soundness.
Extend IP054B northwards to cover the Opportunity Area B/ Cattlemarket Bus Station (Merchants Quarter).

IP054b proposed solely for residential use. No objection to residential allocation but objection to removal of commercial allocation as per adopted Local Plan. Policy approach does not reflect current land uses, too rigid and inconsistent with NPPF. Therefore, unsound. IP054b highlighted in Ipswich Economic Area Employment Land Supply Assessment and site sheets acknowledge existing uses - established commercial units.
Recognise aspiration to maximise housing on sustainably located brownfield land but request greater flexibility for continuation of existing uses.
Allocation would result in restriction of expansion for existing businesses. Request a more flexible approach - revert to residential and/or commercial uses.
Change to mixed-use residential/ commercial allocation as per adopted Local Plan.

Site IP054b: Allocated in 1997 Local Plan as part of site refs: 5.9 and 5.10. It is suggested that a more cautious approach is taken to the likelihood of delivery being achieved within the Plan Period.
