Policies ISPA1 'Growth in the Ipswich Strategic Planning Area', ISPA2 'Strategic Infrastructure Priorities' and ISPA3 'Cross-boundary mitigation of effects on Protected Habitats and Species' of the Core Strategy and Policies Review Preferred Options, similar to Chapter 2 of the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan, are reflective of the Statement of Common Ground and the role that the ISPA authorities will have in the delivery of growth and supporting infrastructure in this wider strategic planning area. The Council therefore endorses the provisions and aims that are set out within these policies. The Council is committed to collaborative working.

The Council supports this policy, however would like to highlight that the equivalent policy in the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan (Policy SCLP2.2) also includes reference to police, community safety and cohesion provision and green infrastructure and suitable alternative natural greenspace. It is suggested that policy ISPA2 should also include reference to these strategic infrastructure priorities.

The Council welcomes the commitment to continued joint working to address the issue of recreational impact avoidance and mitigation. This policy reflects the equivalent policy within the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan (Policy SCLP2.3) and this aligned approach is supported.

Support principles of policy which contributes towards each authority meeting housing needs within their area. The SCDC Plan Infrastructure Delivery Framework provides detail of the infrastructure to support development and policy (SCLP3.5) also supports this. Similar detail relating to infrastructure could be included in the Ipswich Plan, reflecting the Annex to the SOCG. For consistency with DM11, policy for development at the northern-end of Humber Doucy Lane should reference the maintenance of separation between Ipswich and surrounding settlements.

From 1st April 2019 the new East Suffolk Council will be created, and references to SCDC in the Plan should be updated.

The Council welcomes the protection of the physical separation between Ipswich and Westerfield village. This particular protection accords with Policy SCLP10.5 of the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan relating to settlement coalescence which aims to prevent the development of land between settlements that leads to urbanising effects between settlements. Policy CS10 also allows for a country park towards the north of the Ipswich Garden Suburb and the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan carries forward the allocation of land in the north of Ipswich Garden Suburb as part of the country park (Policy SCLP12.23). Policy CS10 is therefore supported.

The Council supports and welcomes the approach of working with partners in respect of the Recreational Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy and a new country park within the Ipswich Garden Suburb. Both of the aforementioned aspects of this policy are reflective of the joint work being undertaken between the Council and IBC. The Council also supports joint working with IBC and other neighbouring authorities to deliver strategic green infrastructure. In particular the establishment of a green rim around Ipswich is reflected in Policy SCLP12.24 'Land at Humber Doucy Lane' in the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan.
