Respondent: Babergh District Council & Midsuffolk District Council

Full opportunity and capacity to meet identified housing land needs should be explored. The Councils seek a re-phrasing of Paragraph 8.7 to clarify that whilst Ipswich Borough may be under-bounded, the Borough will meet its own identified housing needs with the Borough for this Plan.

The Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan housing numbers will be identified upon the publication of the national housing price affordability data schedule for March 2019.

Babergh and Mid Suffolk Councils are committed to cross boundary strategic planning across the Ipswich Housing Market Area and have worked to develop shared evidence and policy approaches.

Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Have been joint-working with IBC and other ISPA authorities to model impacts of local plan growth. The latest assessment has been published alongside the Regulation 19 consultation of the SCDC Local Plan. It shows significant pressures on the network in Ipswich and certain A14 junctions.

The County is seeking to work with ISPA Authorities to develop more detailed proposals for limiting impacts of development through promoting sustainable modes of travel and means of securing funding.

Plan will need to include mechanisms to ensure funding of highway and sustainable transport improvements and possibly require policy for specific modal splits in development.

Respondent: Sproughton Parish Council

The Council expresses concern for development along the B1113/A14/River Gipping Corridor because the Wild Man Junction in Sproughton is a pinch point that is already one of the most congested and polluted junctions in the county. This is a problem that transport and planning departments in all the local authorities appear to be ignoring with their heads in the sand.

Policies ISPA1 'Growth in the Ipswich Strategic Planning Area', ISPA2 'Strategic Infrastructure Priorities' and ISPA3 'Cross-boundary mitigation of effects on Protected Habitats and Species' of the Core Strategy and Policies Review Preferred Options, similar to Chapter 2 of the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan, are reflective of the Statement of Common Ground and the role that the ISPA authorities will have in the delivery of growth and supporting infrastructure in this wider strategic planning area. The Council therefore endorses the provisions and aims that are set out within these policies. The Council is committed to collaborative working.
