Residents of both Suffolk Coastal and Ipswich groups and parish councils have responded with concern to the consultations for both councils which ended yesterday.
Their views will be posted here soon.
Recent Tuddenham parish council meeting expressed concerns;
Policy
SCLP 12.24 Land at Humber Doucy Lane
It
was agreed to make representations on the basis of both Soundness &
Legality –
It
fails the test of Soundness as it has not been Positively Prepared
in that it does not meet the needs of Tuddenham St Martin as
evidenced in the Village Review 2016 (communicated to the District
Council Planning Dept. in various meetings),and in that development
of this site would hasten the encroachment of Ipswich towards
Tuddenham.
One interesting document which was revisited during this process by groups makes interesting reading.

It validates the local concerns raised on the apparent disregard for local green infrastructure within these plans and indicates that it's findings on this matter haven't been sufficiently taken into account. It illustrates the further intrusion into the countryside and the erosion of local
green spaces, green rim and
Green Corridors with their
important ecological networks of trees, hedgerows and small stepping stone areas for local wildlife - all which are further threatened.
