Before an assumption is made that later in the plan period, housing land supply opportunities in Ipswich Borough will be limited, a comprehensive regeneration and asset strategy needs to be undertaken to exhaust all other options. Through measures contained in the Local Transport Plan and the Suffolk County Council Transport Mitigation Strategy, it should be possible to rationalise / make better use of the amount of car parking required in Ipswich.We would have expected the parking strategy to have been produced before the assertion was made in paragraph 8.58 of limited housing land supply opportunities.

In respect of a ‘Transport Mitigation Strategy’ for the Ipswich Strategic Planning Area, this paragraph states: ‘Detailed measures, costings and a mechanism for collecting the contributions from the planned growth will be determined through the ISPA Board’. Additional text needs to be added to also say, ‘… and to be agreed by each respective local planning authority’.

Policy CS7 contradicts the text in paragraph 8.58. Whilst it is correct the Ipswich Housing Market Area authorities discuss the housing requirement for each local planning authority in the IHMA through the ISPA Board, before considering any implications for not being able to meet need, the text in paragraph C3 of the ISPA Statement of Common Ground Version 5 (October 2019 – signed January 2020) needs to be adhered to.

A comment was made to the previous Regulation 18 consultation in March 2019 undertaken by Ipswich Borough Council, where Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils sought a re-phrasing of paragraph 8.7 to clarify that whilst Ipswich Borough may be under-bounded, the Borough will meet its own identified housing needs with the Borough for this Plan. This paragraph remains unchanged.
