Object to site IP261. A need for 18 pitches has been identified for Ipswich but it would be poor practice to provide them all on one site. It would dominate Bramford parish. If planned as an affordable site (rather than private) fewer than 10 pitches is unlikely to be financially viable. The Council is not aware of any discussions with Gypsies and Travellers or Mid Suffolk to date, contrary to the NPPF and CS11. It abuts Mid Suffolk and is perceptually connected to Bramford. The land area exceeds the allocation site with no barriers to on-site expansion, which causes concern.
