Identification of the 'Ipswich Business Park' north of Whitton Church Lane ( Ref 140b) (UC257) is supported as a site for employment development. The site is strategically located within the Ipswich Policy Area beside the A14 and adjoins the existing Anglia Park employment area. The land within Ashfield Land's ownership can come forward now and its development, together with land within the ownership of Ipswich BC, does not preclude or pre-determine the form of development taking place on land to the north within Mid Suffolk.

Whilst supporting the allocation of site 140b for employment, Ashfield Land objects to the wording in the "Notes" in Table 3 and rather than primarily B1 uses, a variety (B1,2,8 and Sui Generis) should be permitted. It is inferred that medium to long term delivery implies phased development and this wording should be removed to promote flexibility. Reference to the unallocated adjacent site in Mid Suffolk DC area should be deleted.
