Town Submit Car Park Plans - Ipswich Town News
Town have submitted plans for the development of the car park area behind the Sir Alf Ramsey Stand.
The car park, on the land the former Staples and Better Gym building, which the club purchased in October 2021, used to occupy, will have 168 spaces - including six electric vehicle charging points - used by club staff and external broadcasters on a matchday.
The news comes as no surprise with chief financial officer Tom Ball having mentioned that club was close to applying for planning permission at the recent PLC AGM.
The work, which is hoped will get under way in the new year, will see the entry and exit point on Chancery Road modified and 17 spaces will also returned to the Travelodge hotel with another separate entry and exit point on Russell Road for its guests.
The temporary hoardings will be removed making a more open space, which the club say will give cleaner access points for vehicles and pedestrians.
Town also say they expect to make a further application for temporary facilities at their Playford Road training ground later this week ahead of the major redevelopment for which planning permission was recently lodged.
