Throughout the pandemic, Mr Bavington-Barber says business has gone from nothing to twice what he would expect, but now it is settling back down.
He said: We re about back to normal trade-wise, but the footfall is still down. What we miss at the moment is a whole raft of office workers. They re just not around but we re still getting shoppers.
Among the concerns were impact on traffic and pollution in the town centre, while others questioned whether the site was suitable and safe for a school.
No on-site parking is included in the plans, with cycle and scooter spaces provided instead. Developers hope families would live in the local area and instead walk or cycle to school.
Some have also questioned whether the existing building could instead be renovated to save its demolition, although design consultants say it is unsuitable.
Ipswich Vision chair Terry Hunt has voiced his support for the plans
