Ipswich planners reject Morrison s store application in bid to save the town cevintage patagonia snap tntre
They made the decision in a bid to protect Ipswich towpatagonia mountain guide pants0n centre but there are fears that their decision could raise a question mark over the huge B store.
And there could still be an appeal from Morrisons if the company is determined to go ahead with the development.
The majority made the decision in a bid to protect the viability of the town centre and the Waterfront and hoped that a new supermarket would rather go on the Westgate (Civic Centre) site or next to the former Tolly Cobbold brewery at Cliff Quay.
Matt Coke, from B said the large retail unit that his company had opened on the site several years ago was no longer appropriate to its trading patagonia vagabunda vest review and it would be better operating from a smaller unit.
However councillors were concerned that a large Morrisons on the site would not boost the town centre while such a store on either the Westgate or Brewery sites would bring substantial patagonia mountain guide pants2benefits.
There was also concern about the amount of parking available at the site.
Chief planning officer Steve Miller said that normally a supermarket of the size of the proposed Morrisons would need 501 spaces, but only 388 were proposed.
Liberal Democrat councillor Cathy French feared the new store would add to traffic congestion in the area.
She said: Never mind the congestion from the Sainsbury s roundabout to the Thrasher roundabout already, at busy times traffic is at a standstill from St Augustine s in one direction and right back to the A14 at Nacton in the other.
That is bad enough, but add to that the impact on the town centre. I cannot support this.
Conservatives on the committee felt the promise of 300 jobs was important with formpatagonia backcountry guide pants men'ser patagonia mountain guide pantscouncil deputy leader John Carnall urging committee members to be realistic and accept such a supermarket would not be built anywhere else in the town.
But planning spokeswoman Carole Jones (Labour) said it was vital to protect the town centre and reject the proposal.
The decision was welcomed by Ipswich Central chief executive Paul Clement, who said: Well done to the council.
It s not easy rejecting large retailers like this but the policy of town centre only must now be the right one.
Too much power going to a few peoples little heads. As a sweetener for the Morrisons Deal , the council went on a rampage against B trying to get them to move out of the area and into the town centre suggesting the co op department store in Carr Street. Some adverse reactions from the public later, they have probably come to realise the traffic problems in the area, and happened to remember that Morrisons were earmarked to go where the Civic Centre once was. and therefore decided they should too move into the town. It makes you wonder when the people in charge think everyone should visit supermarkets in the town centre or the waterfront. Can you imagine the distance to and from your car with all the bags? I don t see much sense in B keeping that store open, so it will probably close in the not so distant future with lots of job losses, and hopefully Argos will move from Carr Street to there. rendering Carr Street obspatagonia better sweater jacket for menolete. but of course, its the master plan IBC wanted, the axis switch.
Labour IBC are a disgrace. Yet again the block an opportunity for growth in patagonia coupon code bigfavour of stupid ill though out plans. B now will most likely shpatagonia mountain guide pants3ut as the rates are too high, resulting in job losses and empty buildings. But hey they will only blame it on someone else. Running this townpatagonia discount code just my size into the ground is Labourpatagonia discount code lowess plan, Ellesmere clearly follows the lead of the likes of Blair and Brown ruining pension pots and selling gold reserves. their ability to understand economics is flawed, and IBC will continue to waste our taxes.
Neil Suffolk spot on the thread to apatagonia mountain guide pants1 lot of the issues of Ipswich is car parking at a ridiculous rate and idiot drinkers asking for cash. Sick sick of it but all we hear is what a great job the Police and other agencies are doing, absolute rubbish. Let me loose and it would be eradicated, simple ban drinking in the town and use the dispersal orders more frequently. This has been going on for years and 98 per cent of the public are fed up of pandering to the very few minority. The problem is the Police and Ipswich Borough are too soft. Anyway after 50 60 years of being here in England, people of West Indian origin are now fully integrated with native society so they do not need a separate and exclusive facility paid for by taxpayers. If my argument is false then something has gone horribly wrong with the multicultural experiment!
Back to Morrisons, how many more supermarkets does this town really need? Surely affordable housing on the old Civic Drive site would be appropriate as hundreds of houses were demolished on the Mound in the 1950s to make way for that futuristic development.
