Infilling the green space would and has ruined the local character. The historic value/ setting of the Grade 2 Listed Crane Manor should be preserved. Poor design. Green space is used for recreation and dog-walking. Loss of view. Green spaces play important role in an urban 'ecosystem' (e.g. physical activity, relaxation, social interaction and community events). WHO states physical activity in a natural environment can alleviate mental health and well being issues. Noise pollution, overlooking, overshadowing, odour, loss of light, light pollution and dust/ vibration impacts. Will cause traffic generation and parking issues. Inadequate local infrastructure. Anti-social behaviour from development.

Green is used by local people to enjoy and this will destroy the final part of an already spoilt open space. Ipswich Borough Council gave permission/ sold off a large chunk of the green which has been destroyed by Suffolk County Council to build a Respite Home which is going to be a rehabilitation centre for unknown types of people. Residents weren't consulted on the application and would have objected. Further disruption from building works and activity. Blocking of private drives. Loss of privacy. Loss of outlook. Lower value of our property. No service road/ assistance offered from Councils.

Object. The green field is an important wildlife stepping stone and is used by the local residents for leisure which is a benefit to fitness, social internaction and mental well being. Lavenham Road and Kelly Road can not support the extra traffic this housing development would create if it went ahead. This blocks emergency access. Amongst other wildlife present on the green (as highlighted in the Suffolk Wildlife Trust report 2019) there are additional bats nesting which have not been picked up by the report. The national bat association will be made aware of the bat presence.
