SOCS suggest the Final Draft Local Plan fails the tests of soundness as it is not positively prepared, not justified, not effective and not consistent with national policy.

The Climate Change agenda (NPPF10) is insufficiently addressed and proposals are contrary to this.

The HRA and SA have inadequately and inaccurately assessed the effects of the plan.

Serious adverse effects, as required under NPPF 6 - 17, have not been properly identified.

NPPF-11 has not been adequately taken into account.

This plan fails both soundness and legal compliance specifically on environmental health impacts from likely congestion and attendant air quality impacts and pollution.

Air pollution deaths are double previous estimates finds research. Ipswich is failing to address air pollution and it's AQAP is inadequate. The SCDC proposals will exacerbate this critical problem. Dust and noise impacts are inadequately assessed and not subject to robust health impact assessments required by NICE etc.

IBC are playing "fast and loose" on public consultation on their draft AQAP. The AQAP is not fit for purpose and is unlawful. Concerned over lack of monitoring.

The following issues need to be addressed for the core strategy to be 'sound':
1. Drainage/ surface water drainage
2. Likelihood of flooding increase.
3. Sewage proposals inadequate and likely to add to existing problems
4. Traffic proposals and adverse impacts on existing residents.
5. Air pollution and impact on our children's health inadequate.

Also see representation 25865.
Ipswich has not taken SCDC Neighbourhood Plans nor Parish Council submissions into account.
The plan does nothing to address the long standing deficit in Open Space in North and East Ipswich.
The public notices are in wrong locations.
The area is a green corridor and development would be in breach of CS16.
Development will adversely impact on the sensitivity of the Fynn Valley and needs to address light pollution and heritage.
Need to protect post-brexit "best and most versatile" Grade 2 farm land.
Will lead to coalescence of Westerfield, Tuddenham and Ipswich.

The Plan goes against all the aims and ambitions of this local charity. It would have a detrimental effect on the charity and its aims and objectives. It will irretrievably damage the small spaces which the charity has been wording on for 8 years.

Challenge the need for this development on the basis:
1. This land was identified as sensitive to development in the Landscape Settlement Sensitivity Assessment.
2. There are opportunities to deliver housing in the town centre and less retail.
3. Traffic modelling shows junctions in this area at over-capacity.
4. The North East Character Study recognises the benefits of this site as a rural buffer.

The proposed allocation of land for housing at the northern end of Humber Doucy Lane and Tuddenham Road is in breach of policy CS16.
