Table 8a is not in line with NPPF p.34 which explains that plans should set out the contributions expected from development. The plan needs updating to meet this requirement. Early Years: regarding demand in Gipping Ward, the table states that a new setting (e.g. a day nursery) is required, but no site is stated. IP279 would be the County Council’s preference. Primary provision: Cliff Lane Primary should be added to Table 8a for expansion. Secondary provision: Stoke High School and Chantry Academy are identified for expansion. SCC has reassessed and now considers that only Stoke High School needs to expand.
The County Council will work with the Borough in reviewing the wording and costs in the table and will agree matters through a Statement of Common Ground. Early Years: IP279 would be the County Council’s preferred choice for a setting in Gipping Ward. The site sheet and entry in Table 1 of the Site Allocation Policies document should also be updated in line with this amendment. Primary provision: Cliff Lane Primary should be added to Table 8a (for expansion). Secondary provision: depending on the rate of delivery within Ipswich Garden Suburb, the Council considers that now only Stoke High School needs to expand.
