The Transport modelling fails to identify when these Ipswich junctions will reach capacity and consequently the Core Strategy fails to plan for this.

Northgate Street / Old Foundry Road junction has a V/C of 115% in the PM peak, which will mean that traffic will be backed up to the Upper Brook Street/ Tacket Street junction therefore blocking buses out of the Old Cattle Market bus station and buses heading into Tower Ramparts bus station. This will make the counter-flow cycle lanes unusable. IBC needs to identify when capacity will be reached and plan for new infrastructure to ensure the required levels of sustainable bus travel are delivered to ensure a reliable service, otherwise modal shift assumptions need to be revised downwards.

This chapter and the wider CS need to be updated to take account of the decision to cancel TUOC.

It is not clear whether the traffic modelling assesses the impact of the potential construction of Sizewell C.

Some form of northern relief road is required in order to implement the CS in a sound and effective manner as evidenced in the WSP reports. Model runs 2 and 6 should be provided as part of the consultation process to assess the revised CS. Some Ipswich junctions that are over-capacity have been omitted from the main report.

8.220 needs amending to "will".

Approve of the aim of this policy. Support the introduction of innovative transport and parking solutions to tackle congestion, as well as a simpler and cost-effective park and ride scheme, better bus services, more electric vehicle charging points and cycle route improvements.

Support proposals that create better links between the retail centre and both the railway station and the waterfront. There is an urgent need for the provision of a taxi-rank on the Waterfront. We would like to see the case for this made in the Local Plan.

We hope the Council continues to back our A14 campaign.

ABP will continue to assist the Council in developing a feasible solution for east-west transport capacity and for all modes access to the Island site. Also supports the efforts to progress the Ipswich Northern Route Study.

ABP's support for access improvements in and around the Waterfront and onto the Island Site is conditional upon there being no operational impact on the Port. Must secure a development solution which addresses all port safety, security and operational issues, avoids any adverse impact on port and marine operations, and accommodates the existing businesses.

Support efforts to lobby for improvements to A14 and A12(s).

The objectives set out in this Policy are broadly appropriate, but our authorities need to carry out further work on the deliverability of these measures in order to incorporate them into an Infrastructure Delivery Plan.

The supporting text requires further consideration. Delivery of additional east-west capacity, in order to consider the sort of measures referred to in the 2007 Buchanan report (referred to in 8.221), is not currently programmed. Paragraph 8.223 should be updated to reflect the cancellation of the Upper Orwell Crossings project. Accordingly, the Borough Council should consider the re-wording of Objective 6 of the Plan, accordingly.

We support the policy relating to sustainable transport infrastructure linking new and existing communities.

We would support development planning that promotes the use of public transport, walking and cycling.
