Transport is an area of weakness. Upper Orwell Crossings and Ipswich Northern Route were abandoned by SCC. No evidence that Suffolk will provide any major infrastructure during plan period. In these circumstances, all development in Ipswich will add to existing congestion with no reductions in carbon and an increase in pollution and AQMAs. Makes Draft unsound on a fundamental level. Argument can be made that no major development should take place which would increase traffic until an effective town wide mitigation strategy is in place. Reference to Park and Ride schemes aspirational. No evidence SCC or IBC will fund them.
