Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 24737

Received: 26/10/2017

Respondent: Mr Christopher Wrathall

Representation Summary:

See my answer to Q57 for the case for installing charging points now rather than in the future. Here are the main proposals:
IBC to fit EV chargers to a percentage of all council-owned parking spaces;
IBC to require builders of large commercial properties to provide EV charging, e.g. chargers at supermarkets, shopping centres, workplaces, etc.
IBC to require builders of residential estates over a certain size to provide for future EV charging at home by the residents.
IBC to investigate options for providing "on street" residential charging infrastructure to terraces where off street parking is not available.

Respondent: Dr Anastasia Nikologianni

Representation Summary:

Renewable energy seems to be not only the new trend, but a promising and sustainable future technology. Ipswich town centre has a scale that can support cycling and the use of electric vehicles. The current infrastructure needs to be improved, but mainly create a coherent route where people feel safe and tempted to cycle or walk to work. For further routes, electric cars and buses seem promising but you also need to think about charging stations.

Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Respondent: Ipswich Limited

Representation Summary:

A Northern Bypass is long overdue. A single-carriageway solution would be over capacity within months of opening, therefore a dual carriageway road is required to support further growth. An Ipswich Orbital will help with the housing, retail, commercial and industrial developments in the northern arc of Greater Ipswich.
Suffolk Highways could allocate more resources to finish projects on time. Currently the same staff work on numerous projects in the area (even outside Ipswich) and it is unnecessarily damaging for the town.

Representation Summary:

Our authorities should plan for changes in transport, with a focus on encouraging sustainable and low carbon travel. Particularly in Ipswich, where journeys may be shorter than in the rural areas, our authorities should work towards an alignment of standards and design approaches.
