No mention is made of the Ipswich Tidal Flood Barrier and associated flood defences or to foul drainage capacity in Ipswich. Both topics are raised in the Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report and should also be included here. If a Community Infrastructure Levy is to be adopted, we would welcome contributions towards flood risk infrastructure such as the future maintenance of the tidal barrier and existing tidal and fluvial defences. Also, the River Gipping and Orwell Estuary are overlooked in the plan. The Gipping is a neglected asset. Include proposals to enhance its visual and ecological quality and maintain water quality.
