We generally support this policy in terms of the identified targets and commitment to joint working. As detailed in the attached submission, land within our client's control falls within both Ipswich Borough's boundary and Suffolk Coastal District and through a master planned approach can deliver an extension to the built up area of Ipswich.

The newly published housing projections have in fact increased the local housing need within the Borough (and majority of the Councils forming the Ipswich Strategic Housing Market Area). We therefore agree with the approach adopted within the Preferred Options document, which uses the 2016-based household projections, as it still continues to support the Government's objective of "significantly boosting the supply of homes" (NPPF Paragraph 59). However, note that these should be interpreted as a minimum housing need as outlined in paragraph 60 of the NPPF.

We advise that the potential impacts of this policy are assessed to determine the suitability of the existing Recreational Disturbance Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy (RAMS) in mitigating the effects of increased recreational disturbance to Suffolk's coastal, estuarine and heathland European sites as a result of strategic growth. The effects of growth on other statutorily designated sites, including Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), should also be assessed and measures to address adverse impacts identified, applying the mitigation hierarchy in accordance with paragraph 175 of the NPPF.

We do not support the level of new jobs and homes planned for in Policy ISPA1. The level of growth reflects the minimum baseline only. The plan should deliver a more ambitious level of growth that reflects the role of Ipswich as a driver for economic growth in the wider sub-region.

Respondent: Sproughton Parish Council

The Council has concerns about overdevelopment of our Parish which, although adjacent to Ipswich, remains a rural village with a significant number of listed historic buildings that have a sense of place set within the countryside that surrounds Sproughton. This farmland based countryside is in itself historic being South of the Gipping divide it forms the North East corner of the more fertile land that is recognised as having the earliest history of agricultural development in the area. It has a local Special Landscape designation which is entirely appropriate with its history, visual value and mix of Landscape Character Types.
