Sites around the A12 and A127 are more suitable.
They have existing traffic and pedestrian infrastructure which can support growth. The area has been designed with growth in mind.
Developments in village areas would be irresponsible - it would risk accidents. This is because villages do not have the same level of sophisticated infrastructure.
I consider the sites around the A12 and A127 corridors to be the best locations for growth.
The potential for growth around the A127 is acknowledged in the consultation. Growth needs to take place where the existing infrastructure can support it. This means that roads and public transport links must be of a suitable size and structure. Without this, any growth will pose a serious risk to public health and safety. Adding additional traffic to roads designed for limited village transport would be irresponsible and dangerous.
Hence, existing sites around the A12 and A127 are more suitable. Thee traffic and pedestrian facilities in place can be used to manage development. The overall image of the area will be less compromised.
