Representation ID: 25574

Received: 22/02/2019

Respondent: Marine Management Organisation

Representation Summary:

References to the "East Marine Plan" should be re-focused towards the "South East Marine Plan" or the UK Marine Policy Statement. The East Marine Plan should only be used in the context of cross-boundary effects of marine planning.

Recommended changes to the reasoned justification paragraphs of this policy on pages 41 (8.70) and 42 (8.73) based on the above. See scanned representation for full details of proposed re-wording.

Received: 08/03/2019

Respondent: Suffolk Wildlife Trust

Representation Summary:

We support the intention of this policy to protect the Borough's biodiversity, trees and soils. We recommend that paragraph 8.65 should include reference to the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017).

Also policy CS4 states that there are 20 County Wildlife Sites in the Borough, however paragraph 9.8.3 states that there are 19. This should be checked for consistency.

Received: 04/03/2019

Respondent: Suffolk Chamber of Commerce

Representation Summary:

We believe that much could be done to make more of the historic assets of Ipswich, which are not exploited for tourism and educational purposes. More could be made for example through improved displays at Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich's Anglo-Saxon Heritage and associated archaeology, the industrial past and Wolsey's Gate. Moreover, any new development as noted in the plan should contribute positively to the quality of the built and natural environment within Ipswich and local heritage.

Representation ID: 25751

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

We welcome an ecological network approach to connect fragmented wildlife habitat, including designated sites. We agree that there are opportunities in development to conserve and enhance biodiversity through net gain. We advise that biodiversity net gain is incorporated into to Policy CS4 to enable delivery through development. This requirement should be proportionate to the size of the development and not limited to large applications. It is recommended that policy is founded on an evidence base that includes mapping assets and identifying areas for creation (incorporated in GI strategy and SPD's).

Representation ID: 25753

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

The Local Plan should give appropriate weight to the roles performed by the area's soils. These should be valued as a finite multi-functional resource which underpins our wellbeing and prosperity. Decisions about development should take full account of the impact on soils, their intrinsic character and the sustainability of the many ecosystem services they deliver.

The plan should safeguard the long term capability of best and most versatile agricultural land (Grades 1, 2 and 3a in the Agricultural Land Classification) as a resource for the future in line with National Planning Policy Framework paragraph 170.

Respondent: RSPB

Representation Summary:

Support the commitment to conserve and enhance natural assets. Consistent with national policy.
8.65 - Add EU Birds Directive.
8.72 - Add 'integrated' before bird boxes which is relevant to new dwellings and other buildings. Integrated nest boxes require no ongoing maintenance and blend seamlessly within the design of a building. Traditional boxes will require maintenance and repair and are not favoured architecturally. Research (action for swifts) indicates that public perception of integrated boxes is very favourable.

Representation ID: 25911

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

It is welcoming to see reference to the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in paragraph 8.71 however, detail is sparse. To improve the wording of this paragraph the Local Plan should identify the two key objectives of WFD: no deterioration of waterbodies and ultimately improving all waterbodies to good status by 2027. These
objectives are key requirements of WFD. This could be further enhanced if the Local Plan included WFD baseline information on the local River Basin Management Plan (RBMP), specifically relating to the status of WFD waterbodies surrounding Ipswich Borough.

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

Water Framework Directive (WFD) in paragraph 8.71, it would be useful to highlight the number of waterbodies within the borough failing WFD 'ecological status or potential' and 'chemical status'. It is important to note that no development, either individually or cumulatively can cause deterioration in WFD status. All development should seek to enhance water quality reaching waterbodies in Ipswich by use of appropriate SuDS techniques that include pollution prevention and control measures.

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 8.71 refers to Anglian River Basin Management Plan and the WFD. To implement these, shallow open landscaped SuDS will be needed. These will impact on the design and masterplanning of sites as they often take up more space than envisaged. Requirements will need to be considered early in application preparation.

Foxhall HWRC is within Suffolk Coastal. It is at capacity and development will add pressure. Plan to redevelop.

Portman's Walk HWRC not capable of expansion/ remodelling. County project commenced to identify a new site.

Support waste minimisation in this and other related policies. Could include "bring sites" as requirement.

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

In para 8.62 we would expect to see the term 'built, historic and natural assets' to be consistent.

We welcome the commitment to a local list in the policy but would suggest that it is turned round '...the maintenance of a list of heritage assets of local importance, such as buildings or parks,....' to make it clear that it is not just buildings that can be included on the list. This should also be supported through the supporting text.

agree that there the area between the Central and Wet Dock Conservation Areas should be reappraised and new boundaries considered.

Respondent: On behalf of Telereal Trillium Ltd

Representation Summary:

Telereal recognises that the Site is adjacent to two Local Nature Reserves (Alderman
Canal west to the south and Alderman Canal East to the south-west). Telereal is
committed to enhancing these two Local Nature Reserves, where possible, when
developing the Site for residential development but the designations themselves can be
deemed as a potential impediment to wider residential redevelopment of the Site.
