Representation Summary:

IBC has not co-operated in any substantive way with its neighbouring authorities or with SCC. The relationship is profoundly dysfunctional. SCC's objections to the emerging IGS have not been accounted for in this document. The Ipswich Policy Area Board is a talking shop. The inspector should ask neighbour authorities and SCC about their experience of IBC's co-operation to gauge whether this policy and its accompanying appendix bears any relationship with reality.
