Emerging DfE proposals for forward funding schools as part of large residential development may be relevant, for example if viability becomes an issue. The DfE would be happy to meet to discuss opportunities.

It would be useful if the Infrastructure Delivery Plan included evidence of how the forecast housing growth at allocated sites has been translated (via an evidence based pupil yield calculation) over the plan period. This would help to demonstrate more clearly that the approach to the planning and delivery of education infrastructure is justified.

Westerfield Parish Council comment on Table 8B:-
Re. Fonnereau Way
The Parish Council are concerned that Network Rail are seeking to close the at-grade pedestrian rail crossing on Fonereau Way. This is an important footpath and the Parish Council consider the cycle /pedestrian bridge at this location in Table 8B as important both to benefit the Country Park as part of Ipswich Garden Suburb but also to provide access to countryside in Westerfield and beyond.
Re. Off-site junction improvements and Traffic Management in Westerfield.
The Parish Council support these requirements to reduce the effect of additional traffic in Westerfield

Transport modelling shows severe capacity issues at many key junctions in and around Ipswich that will result in gridlock but there are no transport infrastructure projects included in the Infrastructure Tables to resolve capacity constraints. This is especially the case in and around the town centre, A14 and A1214.

Some form of northern relief road is clearly required and along with improvements to over-capacity junctions such as Henley Road/ Valley Road and needs to be included in the Infrastructure Tables and delivered for full development of the Ipswich Garden Suburb to be allowed.

There are still no firm proposals for new sewage infrastructure that is required for the IGS and the wider Ipswich area, which need to be consulted upon and included in the Infrastructure Tables.

The effectiveness of the Core Strategy to deliver both employment and homes growth, including the IGS, could be seriously undermined by the ongoing failure to properly assess the cumulative requirement of Ipswich for wastewater infrastructure over the plan period and plan for its provision.

The three Anglian Water improvements need to be added to the Infrastructure Table.

Chapter 10 - Implementation
Table 8A refers to the Ipswich Flood Defence Management Strategy. The Ipswich tidal barrier is now complete and this row of the table should be updated accordingly.

Development proposed in the Plan will generate significant demand for additional early education places.

The Plan needs to include a strategy for securing land and appropriate contributions towards build costs. This will need to include allocations in local plan policies and approximate costs within an infrastructure delivery strategy, for the purposes of estimating developer contributions. An indicative approach is included as an appendix to this letter (appendix 2).

The County Council would appreciate discussion of the initial/indicative approach and how it will relate to local plan allocations and agreement of delivery mechanisms.
