Support but require changes. The Ipswich Society supports these admirable objectives. However, the Borough is frustrated in achieving its laudable aims because it does not have full ownership of the governance and financing of travel plans. The Policy must, therefore be more explicit and firmer in delineating our aims.

Support but require changes. We fully support the Ipswich Policy Area and insist that it becomes more active in supporting policies that effect the greater economic area and putting forward factual support for cross boundary developments and for infrastructure improvements. Frequent reports now instituted, must contain firm planning proposals

Support but require changes. It is good to see that the majority of the housing new builds will take place on Previously Developed Land , apart from the Ipswich Garden Suburb. It is disturbing that 4051 of the 10,585 needed by 2031 have no identified site. It would be helpful to add in the figures from Ipswich Travel To Work Area to shed light on the contribution from the other authorities in the IPA to our housing problem.

Support but require changes. Unarguably, the biggest need is for small starter homes; however, it is vital to recognise that to increase the overall affluence of the town, its employment attractiveness and economic activity, this section must ensure that there is sufficient "executive" style housing.

Support but require changes. The Society has always accepted the necessity in due course of the development of these green fields for residential use. It is mandatory that the developers understand the land uses as set out and the requirement for infrastructure and multi-modal transport provision before consideration is given to any application. Additionally, there should be a paragraph reiterating the parameters of good and sustainable design; we must insist on an exceptional architectural statement on this site.

Support but require changes. We have been unhappy that so many developers have reduced their affordable housing commitment, largely on the grounds of non-viability; we support strongly the independent review system. We feel that the wording here needs to be stronger to ensure developers compliance. We should like to see more transparency over such negotiations.

Whilst in support of all the aims of this CS, we are not in agreement with the recent recrudescence of support for a Northern By pass. This is unnecessary in normal times as the current A14 and A12 problems can be solved by re-engineering the two trunk routes and upgrading of the Felixstowe branch line. It is a distraction to more sensible, cheaper and sustainable solutions. However, it is worthwhile to explore the possibility of a Northern Relief road in association with the Ipswich Garden suburb .

Support but require changes. Two more bridges should be in the Transport Proposals. Firstly, a pedestrian and cycle bridge across the Gipping from the Elton Park site to Boss Hall and the Sugar Beet Factory site and secondly, across the railway to connect the Felixstowe Road "Coop" area and the Foxhall road area. Both of these would improve porosity and encourage walking and cycling where the alternative route is so long that inevitably people will drive. If included in a Policy document now, it will be easier for future planners to insist on them in future applications.
