The new extension in South Saxmundham will grow the town substantially and will require a maximum integration into its context in order to fulfil the role of a new sustainable neigbourhood.
Residential areas will be complemented by community, commercial and employment uses and a network of green infrastructure. This will be arranged in such way that all uses are accessible and form a platform for social interaction where young and old can meet.
Linking to neighbouring communities and coordinating complementary uses will foster community integration.
The layout of the Framework Plan will be strongly based on existing site features.
The network of streets will follow a hierarchy and will be greened wherever possible. Principles of low speed streets will be applied to invite residents to use their streets and make them their own.
The plan includes additional opportunities for connection, over the A12, towards potential areas of employment, into adjacent neighbourhoods, into town and towards the train station, all of which are closeby.
