Ipswich 223 R Mudhar 1 2 The Vision for As a current resident it is important to me that the existing quality of life in the town is retained. Ipswich is Ipswich a pleasant and manageable size. It can probably manage the proposed increases and the extra resources and wealth may well make the town a better place but increasing the town's population by 10% should be done without reducing the long-term enjoyment of the facilities of the 90% of the final population that are already living here. 288 Mrs J Seaton 1 2 Vision for Because I am a resident and do not wish my amenities to deteriorate. Ipswich 458 S Speight 1 2 Vision Ipswich needs to develop and grow but it must be sustainable - all factors must be taken into account when proposing new developments so that they are improved at the same rate. Therefore the increase in new housing must be matched by actual increase in employment and actual improvements in infrastructure and services. 489 Dr S Bullion Suffolk 1 2 Vision Development in Ipswich must be taken forward in a sustainable way, with equal weight given to Wildlife Trust economic, social and environmental issues, including biodiversity. Due regard should be given to priority habitats and BAP species, and to opportunities to enhance Ipswich's ecological network. The open spaces of Ipswich deliver many benefits, to local people and wildlife, and these should not be impacted on by development. Many such spaces are designated for their wildlife value and these areas must be protected from the impacts of development in accordance with RSS. 490 A C Raworth 1 2 Vision It is more democratic that the majority of the population have their interests protected. The scale of the expansion will have serious effects on transport and other social amenities. 491 Mrs V Andrews 1 2 Vision Too much building and not enough thought about car parking and the extra traffic generated by the new developments. 507 T Beaven 1 2 Vision We contribute financially and in others ways to Ipswich and want all to benefit. 508 R Paddison Babergh 1 2 Vision It is important that development takes place in a sustainable manner. District Council 513 P Miller 1 2 Vision All cities and towns including Ipswich need to reduce pollution, waste, resource use and CO2 emissions to continue to be viable.
