Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 25443

Received: 30/10/2017

Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Representation Summary:

Public rights of way make an important contribution to Suffolk communities. They encourage travel by sustainable modes and physical activity, support the tourist economy, offer recreational opportunities for residents, give access to the local natural environment and can help manage the impacts of development on sensitive habitats and species. Policies should identify a means of ensuring that development protects and provides for enhancement of the rights of way network, both on-site and off-site cumulatively, at a strategic level. The policy framework should be set out in such a way as to link rights of way to the different objectives they support. The County Council would be pleased to review preferred sites to consider impact on the Rights of Way Network.
