Suffolk Chamber of Commerce believes planning processes and decisions should be supportive of private sector investment and job creation and where possible, new developments should be sustainable, in keeping with the local character and environmentally friendly for future generations.

Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and more importantly, our Greater Ipswich board will continue to work closely with Ipswich Borough Council, to ensure that the business voice is heard in planning and development discussions surrounding the towns future. We look forward to seeing how the above comments and recommendations fit in the with the Local Plan moving forward.

With a few exceptions e.g County Hall, BHS there seem to be few references to the re-purposing of buildings - especially historic buildings within Ipswich e.g. churches.

Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service (SFRS) has considered the draft Plan and considers that, given the level of growth proposed, it is not envisaged that additional service provision will need to be made in order to mitigate any additional demand from growth. However, this will be reconsidered if service conditions change during the plan period.

Many elements of fire safety are considered through the Building Regulations. As such, SFRS does not expect the Plan to implement specific policies for promotion of fire safety but would appreciate any steps that the Borough Council can take. E.g. sprinkler systems in new developments.
