The Waterfront area should be extended westwards to encompass the site to the north of Burrell Road, which provides an opportunity for regeneration of the site to a residential use. This would comply with Paragraph 5.22 which states that Policy CS2 focuses on residential and community facility development within the Waterfront in order to support the regeneration and sustainable growth of Ipswich, and mixed use development within the town centre. Consequently, this would incorporate the site to the north of Burrell Road, which is a suitable, available and deliverable site, capable of accommodating residential development to meet unmet need.
Extend the Waterfront area boundary westwards to cover the land North of Burrell Road. Allocate the Site for residential development.

Unclear which boundaries are the Opportunity areas and which areas are covered by Policies SP11, SP12, and SP13. Opportunity areas need to be clearly defined and labelled. Chapter 6 of the Site Allocation document provides further information on the opportunity areas, setting out development principles for each area, which we welcome. However, these principles are not set out in policies SP11, SP12, and SP13, and it would appear that the other opportunity areas in this section of the Plan (see our comments regarding the mismatch of opportunity areas above) don’t have policies at all.
The opportunity areas need to be clearly defined and labelled on the IP-One policies map. request that you review the wording for these policies again; identifying which heritage assets (or their settings) would be affected by the proposed development. Where a potential impact is identified, wording should be included in the policy and supporting text to this effect. This wording should incorporate the design principles set out in Chapter 6 of the Plan, and should include/draw on/reference, where relevant the Archaeological Character Zone by Archaeological Character Zone recommendations set out in Appendix 3 of the Council’s Development & Archaeology supplementary planning document (SPD) (November 2018), as well as the Council’s Urban Character SPD.
