Support
Draft Core Strategy and Policies Focused Review

Respondent: Crest Strategic Projects
Support the range of strategic infrastructure identified for the full Northern Fringe site. This has been informed by significant masterplanning work and discussions at the Council's steering groups. Crest welcomes the flexibility that is built into this table, however. It is appropriate to allow developers to monitor the site's requirements and regularly review practical/cost matters to decide on the best way to deliver the objectives for the site. This is particularly important for sites with long delivery timescales. Crest agrees that there can be variations from Table 8B introduced through the Infrastructure and Delivery Plan, for agreement with the Council.

The triggers for infrastructure provision are welcomed, but they should not become barriers to further development. This could particularly be the case in the provision of the railway bridge (a notable expenditure). We would not want to see development stop when 300 houses are finished on Henley Gate.

SOCS support the NFPG comments on proposed Table 8B. Its inclusion is supported but revisions are needed. SOCS suggest adding a requirement for a railway noise buffer.

Support the inclusion of Table 8B, but have a number of concerns. Provision of the country park and associated facilities must be included; traffic management scheme for Westerfield should also reference Whitton and The Dales; enhancements to school playing fields should include the agreement of an access plan to enable community use of facilities; Travel Plans should be required to include the commute from the Northern Fringe to new jobs within Ipswich Policy Area. Need to ensure infrastructure provision is not prevented by triggers not being reached e.g. rail crossings, schools, sewerage, especially in the light of multiple starts/cumulative development.
