Support joint working in the Ipswich Policy Area (IPA), but have concerns regarding CS7. The delivery of 1,600 dwellings on large brownfield windfall sites needs further justification. The number of dwellings to be provided in neighbouring areas causes concern, because of environmental and infastructure constraints, the lack of clarity about the proportion of dwellings expected to be provided in each neighbouring authority, broad locations and cumulative impact have not been sustainability appraised, and implications for the delivery of Core Strategies and Area Action Plans. The further Sustainability Appraisal work is needed on reasonable alternatives, and strategic allocations in adopted plans.
