Representation Summary:

Concerns about funding of off-site infrastructure due to late trigger point in permissions, undermining modal shift 2026 delivery. Modelling is hiding fact that Ipswich roads near IGS are already heavily congested with roads already operating at capacity at peak times. Modelling must identify when key junctions and links reach capacity and how congestion will be mitigated. Concerned that modelling work shows greater than 100% capacity in both 2026 and 2036 on small residential roads, worsening air quality and no assessment of this factored in. Sizewell-C and Felixstowe 30% increase in trains not assessed (rail-freight). No AQA for IGS permissions. Unsound.
