Mike Ninnmey had arranged for Richard Ward, Technical Director and Planner with Suffolk Preservation Society (not attached to Suffolk Coastal), and Mary Dixon, a retired Suffolk Coastal Planner and now a Trimley St Mary Parish Councillor to talk to the people of Felixstowe about what was going on & the LDF process.

Grade 1 and 2 farmland classified as "Environmentally Sensitive Areas" is being targetted to be used as a site of"Strategic Growth" which initially will form a large housing estate to support 1620 houses (SCDC documentation now implies this is to be 1700!). The land borders an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)and is situated to the North of Felixstowe.
