Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Suggested that policy for development at northern end of Humber Doucy Lane references maintenance of separation between Ipswich and surrounding settlements, for consistency with DM11. Noted that ISPA4 infers that SANGs will be required on both sides of Borough boundary. For clarity and to enable provision for SANGs to be considered through project level Habitats Regulations Assessment, and to be reflective of plan level HRA, policy could provide appropriate level of flexibility by not specifying that SANGs be located on both sides of boundary. Suitable Accessible Natural Greenspaces should be changed to Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspaces to reflect term SANGs.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy should reference maintenance of separation between Ipswich and surrounding settlements.
