Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) DPD Review - Final Draft

Representation ID: 26337

Received: 02/03/2020

Respondent: Ravenswood Environmental Group

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The Policy is supported by site sheets in an appendix. The appendix should make it clear that the site sheets are or are not part of the plan. The plan is vague and unjustified. Site IP150 e is adjacent to other sites such as IP150c and IP150e and IP150d. These are geographically related but they are separate in the plan. There is no justification for this piecemeal approach. The plan highlights serious traffic, air-quality, ecology, amenity and heritage constraints but does nothing to resolve these and does not insist upon materplanning and effective mitigation.

Change suggested by respondent:

Propose a new policy to present all of the plans for Ravenswood so that the various sites can be effectively masterplanned and environmental mitigation proposed. It is unacceptable to propose development only with a list of issues whilst not inviting or suggesting how these would be resolved.
