Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) DPD Review - Final Draft

Representation ID: 26162

Received: 15/01/2020

Respondent: Mrs RoseMarie Cornish

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Too dense and out of character with the surrounding area. It would be claustrophobic and cause distress with no enhancement or asset to the area. Prince of Wales Drive is a nightmare with parking and the volume of traffic. Halifax School is a bottleneck and results in wide spread on-street parking. Proposed cars will park on the pavement. Loss of views towards River Orwell. Loss of privacy. Noise nuisance. Not within our Human Rights. The shop is a valuable community asset in walking distance, needed due to ageing population. See proposed changes to plan. Green is important habitat for species.

Change suggested by respondent:

Bungalows instead of two storey houses or three storey flats.

Halifax School should be approached in favour of building an extension (Nursery) on the land. This would solve much needed places for children within the area and help alleviate parking problems.

Representation Summary:

Totally unnecessary and poorly presented. Area is open and consists of bungalows and semi-detached properties. Car park within site is valuable and well used by new properties at Abedere Close, Elderly People's home and school nearby. High volumes of traffic including buses. Parking problems. Threat to highway safety. Loss of views to river. Ageing population in area and there is a need for shops. There are alternative plots at the side of ASDA, Maidenhall allotments and unused sports field at Bourne Vale which should be looked at instead. Overcrowding. Should be withdrawn.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove allocation.

Representation Summary:

Loss of privacy/ overlooking to neighbouring properties. The design does not afford adequate privacy for the occupants of the building or adjacent properties. Contrary to Human Rights Act (Protocol 1) and Article 8 of the Human Rights Act. Visually dominant/ overbearing impact. Too dense and would detract from open feel of the area. Inadequate parking and highway safety concerns, including during school pick up/ drop off. Out of character with the neighbourhood (balance of bungalows and semi's) and out of scale with surroundings. Overshadowing/ loss of light. Over-development of the site (insufficient landscaping). Contrary to Government guidance and Planning Policy.

Respondent: Mr Paul Harvey

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

There is insufficient car parking for residents and visitors. This will mean nearby roads like Chatsworth Crescent will be subject to increased on-street parking which is exacerbated by school drop off/ collections. This will pose a risk to highway safety. The Co-op have deliberately prolonged the use of the site knowing that after so many years they can apply for a residential application instead of the original purpose of the site.

Representation Summary:

Agree with need for affordable housing, but proposed redevelopment will have adverse effect on area struggling to accommodate parking in Chatsworth Crescent/Prince of Wales Drive. Compounded around school times - roads are sometimes impassable. Even though site is used as overflow, for local residents and during 'school run', there is still not enough parking. What effect will development and 22 allocated parking spaces have on surrounding area? Where will local residents park? How bad will 'school run' congestion become? Inclusion of 3 storey block totally out of character with surrounding structures - loss of privacy and overlooking to adjacent properties.
