Preferred Options Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) Review

CS3

Representation ID: 25879

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Associated British Ports

Representation Summary:

ABP wish to ensure that the Port's 'significant (economic) role' and ability to expand further and assist in driving growth in the region is protected.
ABP requests that recognition is made in CS3 and its accompanying text to the Port and to other important existing employment and other activities within and adjoining the IP-One area. New development should be sensitive to these existing uses and avoid potential impacts which may prejudice the continued operation and, where appropriate, expansion of these uses.

We suggest the addition of a new criterion into any new policy based on Policy CS3 (see full representation).

Representation ID: 25880

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Associated British Ports

Respondent: Associated British Ports

CS13

Representation ID: 25882

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Associated British Ports

Representation Summary:

Ideally ABP would like the inclusion of policy and wording which specifically seeks to support and protect the function and role of the Port in the town. This would be consistent with the existing recognition given in the NALEP Strategic Economic Plan.

In the context of the above, the new policy should:
- Identify the operational Port estate and its relationship to the town centre and IP-One area;
- support port development and the growth of the port; and
- address the particular development considerations in the interface area between the port estate and the town centre and IP-One areas

CS20

Representation ID: 25883

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Associated British Ports

Representation Summary:

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).

DM12

Representation ID: 25884

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Associated British Ports

Representation Summary:

Supportive of IBC's desire for all new development to be well designed and sustainable, for 25% of new dwellings to be built to Building Regulations standard M4(2), and for proposals to respect the special character and distinctiveness of Ipswich including ensuring good public realm design. However, this should not be at the expense of development viability and the policy should be applied flexibly in the context of the objective to achieve sustainable regeneration.

DM15

Representation ID: 25885

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Associated British Ports

Representation Summary:

ABP welcomes IBC's policy on tall buildings consistent with its desire to secure high density development in the town centre and Waterfront (para 6.20 and Policy DM22). As presently drafted, the policy and supporting text do not make it sufficiently clear whether the Island Site is considered appropriate for tall buildings, or whether tall buildings in this location would be appropriate where they meet the criteria of Policy DM15 and where development viability justifies it. ABP requests clarification on this point.
