Extensive modal shift required in Ipswich to improve air quality, reduce carbon emissions and reduce impacts of traffic from new developments. Suffolk County Council modelling indicates just over 15% modal shift required in Ipswich by 2026 (as well as improvements to existing network). Sustainable travel options in Ipswich are poor/need considerable investment. Insufficient evidence that funding to deliver required improvements is available. Local Plan is unsound - there are insufficient actions and investments proposed to improve air quality and deliver required modal shift. Cycling network is poor - people won't want to cycle and there is lack of cycle training.

Transport Modelling includes challenging modal shift assumptions. Unless evidence of funding and plans to improve the ineffective cycling network provided, the levels of modal shift unreachable. Contrary to NPPF 181. CS needs to make clear commitment to improving air quality and compliance with legally binding air pollution targets. Fails to follow Government’s guidelines and waters down Government requirements. Flaws in WSP Source Apportionment Study. New modelling needs to address issues and focus on air quality in first 10 years. No AQA provided as part of this consultation, unacceptable. Reserve right to comment on this. No AQA for IGS.

The Council notes IBC's air quality screening study, as part of the new evidence base documents for the IBC Local Plan Review. The air quality screening has considered growth across the ISPA and the Council would note that there are potential linkages with the mitigation outlined to deliver modal shift through an ISPA transport mitigation strategy.

Poor air quality in the five AQMAs in Ipswich is a result of road traffic – particularly NO2 and NOX. Mitigation needs to include a restriction on operational parking in commercial development. All new residential development needs to include significant contributions towards sustainable transport options. The previous draft mentioned that modelling showed emissions in AQMAs were likely to increase and more AQMAs declared during the plan period. This cannot be allowed to happen.
