Statement of Consultation doesn't accurately capture issues raised, including uncertainty over deliverability of allocating the entire Northern Fringe due to traffic congestion, air quality impacts and lack of sewage infrastructure. Failure to address cumulative needs for infrastructure including roads, sewage and health/social care.
Allocating in entirety may exacerbate flooding - should be shown on Map 2. High risk strategy, should be phased. Appendix 5 should reflect issues. Impacts of public sector job losses, income:house price ratios, impacts on Suffolk Coastal villages, Housing and Planning Bill, real reasons for pre-submission main modifications, current planning application and alternatives also should be considered.

CS1 - CS6 may be undeliverable and therefore CS11-20 may be undeliverable. Climate change remains unaddressed and multi start development at the Northern Fringe is more likely to exacerbate flood risk and compromise CS4.

Paragraph 3.4 of the Statement of Consultation does not accurately capture the issues raised, including the lack of effective policies and outcomes from the Duty to Co-operate. Concerned that the genuine concerns and issues raised by the public have been disregarded. Modifications do not reflect evidence of case law relating to congestion, air quality and affordable homes. The objectives can be categorised as muddled and sometimes in conflict, not measured and only aspirations. SOCS have no confidence the modifications will lead to 'more genuinely sustainable development or growth' (8.5). Balance between housing and jobs is not aligned (8.9).

Paragraph 3.4 of the Statement of Consultation does not accurately capture all of the issues raised. This includes issues raised in relation to the assessment of housing not being updated to reflect the most recent information available including the DCLG Household Projections 27th February 2015 and the ONS migration data. Concerned that the genuine concerns and issues raised by the public have been disregarded. CS7 will fail if the balance between jobs growth and housing are not aligned.

Paragraph 3.4 of the Statement of Consultation does not accurately capture all issues raised, including in relation to addressing severe obstacles to growth identified by the viability report and the employment space requirements identified by the EEFM 2015. There has also been failure to consider how the acquisition of the sugar beet site will impact on jobs and homes growth strategies in the Borough. Concerned that the genuine concerns and issues raised by the public have been disregarded. CS1-CS6 may be undeliverable, therefore CS11-20 may be undeliverable. Too many imponderables will lead to likely non-delivery. Few solutions in the modifications.

CS1 - CS6 may be undeliverable and therefore CS11-20 may be undeliverable. The CS2 modification to accelerate and allocate the Northern Fringe in its entirety will not improve accessibility.

The Greenways Project never had any input on CS10 area. There is omission on the data (SPD) which exists for NF and IGS. The modifications are more likely to compromise CS4. CS1 - CS6 may be undeliverable and therefore CS11-20 may be undeliverable.

CS1 - CS6 may be undeliverable and therefore CS11-20 may be undeliverable. Modification and weakening is unacceptable. Green rim and green corridors are vital and should not be compromised to please landowners/developers when so much net biodiversity loss is proposed. Open space deficits in the north, east and north-west Ipswich need addressing. DM33 should not be compromised due to landowner/developer pressure. Modification to accelerate and allocate Northern Fringe in entirety will lead to significant biodiversity loss, employment loss (agriculture) and irreversible loss of food growing land which is in conflict with CS1 and CS4.

CS1 - CS6 may be undeliverable and therefore CS11-20 may be undeliverable. A policy to reinstate the obligation on landowners/developers to contribute to road networks should be reinstated. The modification to accelerate and allocate the Northern Fringe in its entirety is likely to overwhelm IBC's limited remit, capacity and shrinking resources to deal with this in addition to service and infrastructure delivery for the existing and new population.
