We want the best for Ipswich with the right policies put in place to deliver successful outcomes. This can only be achieved if the SA accurately identifies the many issues facing Ipswich, which are highly visible and recognised by its residents. As in our previous consultations responses, we maintain that the SA fails to accurately reflect the state of Ipswich and presents a very optimistic view of the impacts of the CS on the Borough.

Natural England is reasonably satisfied that the Sustainability Appraisal considers the impacts of the Core Strategy and Policies on relevant aspects of the environment within our remit, including biodiversity and geology, landscape, green infrastructure and soils. We particularly welcome SA objectives to protect and enhance designated sites, including SSSIs, SACs, SPAs and Ramsar sites, in addition to locally designated and non-designated areas of biodiversity. However, we would advise that the SA should cross-reference with the findings and recommendations of the Appropriate Assessment which identifies potential recreational disturbance effects on European sites and measures to mitigate these.

The manner of "last minute", poorly drafted "revisions" to the Executive paper on the 15th October [2013] on CS10 were unacceptable, and in breach of protocols and SCI. The subsequent failure by IBC to properly clarify the changes and place them in the public domain in a timely and transparent fashion added to the confusion and was not in the public interest. The revisions make a fundamental change in direction that has "seriously undesirable unintended consequences" which should be properly referenced, appraised and evaluated within the SA. The CS10 changes are not properly referenced nor track-changed within the SASR.
