Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) DPD Review - Final Draft

Representation ID: 26339

Received: 02/03/2020

Respondent: Ravenswood Environmental Group

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The plan is proposes site IP152 and site IP150c for a total of 30,000 sqm of business and industry and sui generis uses. There is absolutely no justification for this significant development and no explanation of how it will relate to site IP150b and IP150e when traffic, air quality, noise, heritage and ecological constraints must be resolved comprehensively. The plan does nothing to justify or mitigate its impacts and does not insist upon a new major access to this development area. It merely implies that impacts need to be looked at. Masterplanning and EIA must be insisted upon

Change suggested by respondent:

Rewrite the plan to provide a criteria based policy which only proposes development upon evidence that the impacts can be mitigated on a comprehensive basis

Representation Summary:

Land allocated in Table 3 (28.34ha) is significantly in excess of calculated requirement from Evidence Base (23.2ha). The 5.14ha difference equates to 18% of the requirement. Such over provision can only be justified where there are clear reasons for a land supply buffer. No such evidence has been presented in the Plan or Evidence Base. Appropriate to consider reducing the land allocation to reflect actual need. Of the land allocated in Table 3, circa 24ha has been identified as being suitable for industrial uses. This is in significant excess of the 9ha need calculated by the Employment Land Needs Assessment.

Change suggested by respondent:

Review land allocations in SP5 and change so they better reflect the actual need calculated in the Evidence Base.
