Representation Summary:

We believe that the Parking Strategy over-estimates the parking demand, and hence the required land, for town centre parking and that this brownfield land would be better used for housing rather than the previously designated countryside at Humber Doucy Lane. It is not clear if the Ipswich Parking Strategy has actually been approved by the IBC Executive. The parking strategy is based on substantially higher jobs (12,500) and housing (8,840) targets than set out in the CS. Therefore obsolete. Parking strategy needs to take account of Climate Emergency declaration.

Change suggested by respondent:

Town centre parking land should be used for housing instead of countryside. Parking strategy needs to take account of climate emergency declaration.
