Paragraph 4.12 on page 25 outlines the requirement for the sequential approach to sites in line with paragraph 158 of the NPPF. The paragraph suggests that development has been sequentially sited and the exception test has been applied as well. It is however not clear how this has been achieved. We are currently reviewing the Sequential and Exception Test statement and will advise of any further work required.

Paragraph 5.19 states that "the flood defence barrier is important for the release of development sites at the waterfront (and the wider area in the flood zone). It has been largely completed in 2018." The Ipswich Flood Defence Management Strategy

(IFDMS) is now complete and the Tidal Barrier is operational. The final commissioning of the main barrier and all the associated gates has been completed. There remains a residual risk of tidal flooding and there is also a residual risk of fluvial flooding as well as a risk from other sources of flooding to consider as well.
