Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The County Council welcomes the commitment to coordinate development across boundaries. This area is outside district or local centres buffers defined on Plan 1. NPPF p.92 states that planning policies should ensure an integrated approach to considering the location of housing, economic uses and community facilities and services. P.103 states that the planning system should limit the need to travel, through an appropriate mix of uses. To enable access to services and make future communities in the area defined by ISPA4 sustainable, the policy should state the masterplanning of the site should also consider the inclusion of a local centre.

Change suggested by respondent:

In order to enable access to services and make future communities in the area defined by ISPA4 sustainable, the policy should state the masterplanning of the site should also consider the inclusion of a local centre. This will also help to keep the plan more internally consistent e.g. with paragraph 6.17.
