The LPA should be confident that Policy SP8 will be effective in offsetting recreational impacts to the designated Orwell Estuary.

The success of the park extension will depend on the details of the proposal. We advise that these details are assessed to ensure the project is fit for purpose. We would encourage Policy SP8 to include appropriate provision such as access to the coast path across this land. The England Coast Path will be subject to its own HRA, separate from Ipswich Borough Local Plan.

Currently in discussion with Ipswich Borough Council about the coast path route in this area.
