Skylarks have been seen nesting on this area. Bee orchids have been seen flowering in this area - which is protected under Section 13 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981). These are 2 rare and protected species. The traffic connection at the main roundabout,the only access to/ from the Ravenswood estate, is beyond breaking point. Over 30 minute traffic jams in and out of estate particularly during school drop off/ collections, retail/ restaurant deliveries and times of high demand, peak commuter times and when roundabout congested. Local amenities (doctors, dentists and schools), sewage and drainage are at capacity.

IP150a, IP150d and IP150e equate to 254 houses. Should fully reflect 65.8% private housing and 34.2% social housing mix. Recommend additional new access to Ravenswood to cope with anticipated surge in traffic volumes. Already heavy congestion at access point during; morning/ evening peaks, school drop-off/ pick-up, and, lunch times, which prevents emergency vehicles access. Does "Highway Network" just refer to the Nacton Road/ Thrasher Roundabout or ALL local roads? Second access road should relieve pressure for whole of Ravenswood, not just new sites. Upgrading private road to south of Ravenswood needed as second access. Has additional pupil demand been considered?

Concerned about the change to the Local Plan in Ravenswood off Alnesbourne Crescent. New residents will put pressure on the sources of the local GP surgery.

This area of land borders an AONB which would be negatively affected by additional vehicular traffic in the area. The existing access track to Bridge Wood/Orwell Meadows/Hallowtree Campsite is already in disrepair. Additional traffic in the area would be at the detriment to the properties in the Alnesbourn Priory site. It is a short-sighted effort by the council to boost housing in an area which is unequipped to handle the additional capacity. No work should be allowed to take place. The land must be kept undisturbed which will allow the flora and fauna to develop.

Site IP150d is proposed for 34 homes but its contrived and unjustified shape demonstrates that it cannot accommodate 34 homes as frontage development. The site is of considerable ecological value and is used as Public Open Space. If it is to be developed then it should be masterplanned with other sites as part of one mixed use criteria based policy

Site IP150d: Allocated in 1997 Local Plan as part of site ref: 6.1. Remainder of Ravenswood community has been built out, but several parcels remain undeveloped. It is suggested that a more cautious approach is taken to the likelihood of delivery being achieved within the Plan Period.
