Reference to the Transport Mitigation Strategy for the ISPA is welcome and supported, as is the focus on sustainable transport measures. SCC Transport Model highlights that growth in Ipswich and surrounding districts may cause severe impacts on the highway network within and around Ipswich, which cannot be addressed through improvements to the highway alone. The County Council considers the appropriate strategy to be maximising sustainable transport in order to achieve a significant proportion of modal shift in both the new and existing population. The Suffolk County Council Transport Mitigation Strategy needs to be included in the Local Plan evidence base.
