Object to identification of land west of Tuddenham Road, north of Ipswich Millennium Cemetery as “Land Allocated for Sport Use” on the basis that it is not required for this purpose. The release of the Ipswich School land at Notcutts Field, as part of the allocated Ipswich Garden Suburb is not currently considered viable and is therefore uncertain, whilst in any event the school owns other land that would provide suitable alternative land for replacement playing fields within the vicinity and has already invested significantly into new and improved facilities at its Rushmere St Andrew Sports Centre. It is proposed that the site is allocated for residential development (21.81ha, with capacity for 500 dwellings). Please see accompanying letter for further details.

Object to allocation of land at the northern end of Humber Doucy Lane (ISPA4.1), under CS2(b), suggest alternative reference to allocation of land off Tuddenham Road, north of Millenium Cemetery (21.81ha, with capacity for 500 dwellings).
This is on the basis that land west of Tuddenham Road, north of Ipswich Millennium Cemetery would be more appropriate, better related to the Ipswich Garden Suburb development, and therefore more sustainable, by virtue of reducing the need for travel by private car, improving pedestrian and cycle access and enabling a more consolidated and comprehensive form of development.
See accompanying letter for details.

Object to omission of reference to the need for inclusion of a 20% buffer to the 5 Year Housing Supply, given latest HDT; to the need to address the emerging delivery shortfall in this regard (77 dwellings within year 1); and need for increased focus on identification of sites that are deliverable in the initial 5 years.
The allocated sites component of housing supply should be increased on the basis that not all of the sites will be delivered within the Plan Period, a proportion have been allocated since 1997, others are reliant on relocation of existing uses. See accompanying letter for details.
