This area would be ideal for a right of way for walking and cycling to cross the docks and river, please can this be added as part of the planning requirements? It should not be opened as a motor through route, otherwise there will be far more motor traffic than could be coped with currently never mind when housing is build on this land.

Would it be possible to ensure there is space left along London Road to allow for high quality Dutch style separated cycle facilities to be put in, also avoiding access onto London Road, which would cause traffic problems.

Anything that is built here should have something that aids improving the National Cycle Route 1 that runs past the site, and will allow significantly increased cycle traffic flows from Shotley along here, over Stoke Bridge and into the Town Centre. Ideally Section 106 money from this or nearby developments should be used to convert a motor vehicle lane on Stoke Bridge to cycle use so that Stoke Bridge can cope with the increased traffic flows without pedestrians and cyclists being in conflict. Any plans which make conditions worse for cyclists and walkers should be avoided.

Please can the car park have a portion of it allocated to secure bicycle parking, with potential for a local business doing bike maintenance and hire?

The local cycle campaign Cycle Ipswich are looking to have a link through this site to the housing behind for cycling and walking as an alternative to using the Wherstead Road. Having a link through this site running behind the houses on Wherstead Road could have the potential to significantly increase cycling along this corridor.

There is also potential for having a new pedestrian and cycle tunnel under the railway here to make this journey more convenient than the current tunnel.

I very much approve of measures to prevent more motor vehicles coming into the town centre and encouraging people to leave their cars at the edge of town to come in.

Could facilities be built or publicity to promote park and cycle, which avoids having to have huge increases in the bus capacity?

Any building work here needs to incorporate Dutch style cycle infrastructure to link in with the local road network and cycle routes. The site must be sign posted as to the route to minimise the motor car use to the site.

Much work is needed to ensure improved cycling facilities, which are not legalised pavement cycling, or placing cyclists with motor vehicles, so that there aren't huge increases in motor traffic caused by this development.

There should be a cycle and walking link through this land, under the Ipswich Chord railway line, over the river and on to the cycle path on the other side of the river. This would be an extremely useful link to implement to encourage walking and cycling into the town centre from this site and the nearby area. This would also link into the National Cycle Route 51.

Need to ensure that the quality cycle and walking infrastructure that has been implemented in Ravenswood, is also implemented here too, so that people from Ravenswood will cycle here, and also encourage people from outside the Ravenswood area to cycle or take the bus here.
