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

Representation ID: 26550

Received: 02/03/2020

Respondent: Department for Education (DfE)

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The allocation wording is too restrictive and could potentially frustrate and delay the delivery of the school. The specification of the retention of the locally listed façade is too specific for a site allocation policy, as it is not clear on what evidence this is based. The requirement for a development brief for the proposed primary school site is also considered to be unnecessary, the need for which is not sufficiently evidenced. We propose that the school component of allocation IP048a be stripped out from the policy and included as a separate allocation for a Primary School only.

Change suggested by respondent:

We propose that the school component of allocation IP048a be stripped out from the policy and included as a separate allocation for a Primary School only.
