Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Lacks clarity in respect of flooding risk. In March 2016, SCC Portfolio holder Matthew Hicks confessed the need to work better together (see full quote). Ipswich no longer have their own dedicated drainage engineering department which places them at a disadvantage. There should be a reference to the work of the Food and Farming Commission and to the issue of sustainable land use. See extract. Needs to reflect the legal requirement to comply with Air Quality targets. Climate emergency declaration and carbon neutral commitment need to be referenced to be consistent with Court of Appeal ruling on Heathrow.

Change suggested by respondent:

Reference the work of the Food and Farming Commission and the issue of sustainable land use. Reference air quality targets and climate emergency.
