Final Draft Ipswich Local Plan 2018 - 2036 Sustainability Appraisal Report (SEA and SA)

Representation ID: 26373

Respondent: Save Our Country Spaces

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

SA simply assumes that CS fully implemented and full funding for all measures secured. No evidence that IBC can deliver improvements in walking, cycling and bus infrastructure, improved road infrastructure and unprecedented levels of modal shift. IBC and SCC’s record in these areas is dire. SA incomplete and underplays key issues. Needs to fully assess air quality impacts including from rail/ sea, additional road infrastructure required, re-designation of Green Rim, alternatives to HDL (and SCDC no longer needs this to meet housing target), flood risk and new sewage infrastructure. Needs to assess robustness if unprecedented levels of modal shift underachieved.
