Proposed Submission Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document Review

Representation ID: 5196

Received: 05/03/2015

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

We support Policy CS18, which demonstrates the Council's intention to work with partners, such as ourselves, to implement the Ipswich Flood Defence Strategy. We would suggest that the wording in this paragraph is amended to read - 'the tidal surge barrier is unlikely to be in place until the end of 2017'. This amendment should be reflected in other areas of the Local Plan where the completion date is given.
