Representation Summary:

Modifications fail to address major issues: the adverse impact of the Local Plan on traffic congestion and air quality (described today by NICE as a Public Health "Crisis"), which is a risk of allocating all IGS for "multi-start" development without adequate safeguards on phasing. This presents an unacceptable Health Impact risk which may be deemed unlawful. Drainage and lack of sewage infrastructure have not been addressed. Public Health Impacts from development across the town need monitoring and assessment. During the Inquiry, IBC agreed to incorporate a Public Health Adverse Impact Study requirement, yet no requirement is referenced within the modifications. SOCS endorses the NFPG representation also.
