Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document Review - Final Draft
Representation ID: 26587
Received: 02/03/2020
Respondent: National Highways (Formerly Highways England)
Agent: National Highways (Formerly Highways England)
Through the process of development of this Plan and those covered by adjacent planning authorities within Ipswich Strategic Planning Area (ISPA), Highways England has worked closely with Suffolk County Council on the development of the evidence base. The modelling work shows that accumulatively growth in ISPA is predicted to pose significant strain on the transport network in and around Ipswich. Additional highway capacity will not on its own address these issues and it is noted that the local authorities across the ISPA agree that robust steps must be taken to prioritise healthy and sustainable travel. Highways England supports this position.
