Table 2 - I do not understand why “cheap car parking” is listed alongside walking/cycling routes and public transport.This would encourage more driving therefore more air pollution.

Respondent: Ipswich & East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group & West Suffolk CCG

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 5.4 (deprivation issues) - Health care providers in areas of deprivation are under more pressure than those in areas where deprivation is lower. Due to the extra strain put on health providers in areas of high deprivation, morale and recruitment is lower than areas where the level of deprivation is less. Tackling areas of the highest levels of deprivation must be seen as a priority going forward as the resources required to provide health care in these areas is currently unsustainable.

Respondent: Ipswich & East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group & West Suffolk CCG

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 5.25 (travel demands from growth) - It is good to see that the benefits of health and wellbeing are being considered in initiatives not intrinsically linked to health. Creating a safe and sustainable link between new developments and areas of commerce and community is essential, be it via a well-lit walking path, cycle path or green corridors. The benefits to resident’s wellbeing should not be overlooked as linking people that would otherwise be isolated can have a major benefit to mental health.

Respondent: Ipswich & East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group & West Suffolk CCG

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 5.26 (Health and Wellbeing) - We aim to provide health care facilities in a timely manner that is in line with the growth. The physical building of a health and/or social facility or improving one is relatively acquirable in most circumstances but there is currently a national shortage of NHS staff in both primary care and secondary care causing capacity issues. LPAs can help aid recruitment by providing local communities that will attract NHS staff to them, by producing key worker housing in and around NHS campuses and facilities, encouraging commerce, designing and creating a vibrant and attractive community.

Representation Summary:

Biodiversity Section currently states – “The need to halt biodiversity net loss.” Suggest this is amended to state - ”Prevent loss of biodiversity and implement measures for biodiversity net gain.” The government is mandating that, through the new Environment Bill, all development (with a few exceptions) will be required to secure gains in biodiversity. It is therefore not sufficient to state that there will be a halt in net loss.

Change suggested by respondent:

Amend biodiversity section to "Prevent loss of biodiversity and implement measures for biodiversity net gain."

5.25; Improving air quality in the increasing number of Ipswich AQMAs (now five) needs to be added as a key challenge. IBC should be “delivering high levels of modal shift” rather than just “guiding as many trips as possible to sustainable modes” .Meeting the Climate Emergency needs to be added as a key challenge.
5.26 - table 2 - There are inconsistent references throughout the document (6.16, IBC FRA webpage, 8.45, 8.46, 8.225, DM4 PRFA). The situation regarding flood risk assessment within the CS is confusing and makes flood risk impossible to understand for the general public. Requires further clarification.

Representation Summary:

Welcomed that IBC are using regeneration opportunities to address deprivation, make places safer and create opportunities for all. Site should therefore be considered as an appropriate location for residential development, which would accord with National and Local Policy in this regard. Ipswich-specific issues being the limited availability of land, and large areas of protected land. Strongly recommended that the Council should be seeking to allocate additional residential sites to meet this unmet housing need within the Borough. Land north of Burrell Road is a suitable, available and deliverable site and should be allocated for residential development.

Change suggested by respondent:

Include Land north of Burrell Road as a residential site allocation.
