ESC is supportive of IBC's positive commitment to the delivery and funding of modal shift mitigation through a transport mitigation strategy as part of collaborative working through the ISPA Board. The Council notes the proposed modifications to Policy CS17 under MM66, to Policy DM21 under MM99, and to Policy DM22, under MM102, that further the Ipswich Local Plan’s positive commitment to meeting the objectives for modal shift as per the ISPA SoCG (A21). However, under the proposed modifications to Policy CS17 it is not clear why only off-site works or financial contributions are sought towards sustainable transport improvements, as there may be opportunities for on-site measures that would support modal shift.

The proposed changes set out under MM84 to Policy DM8 ‘The Natural Environment’, through the addition of the three new paragraphs related to European sites and the Recreational Disturbance Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy, and the proposed changes to paragraph 9.8.2 under MM85 reflect the Statement of Common Ground between East Suffolk Council and Ipswich Borough Council (June 2020) (document A25 in the Core Document Library) and are therefore supported.

The proposed Main Modification to the targets related to strategic working set out that joint master planning with ESC of the land north of Humber Doucy Lane would be completed by 2026/27. Whilst Policy SCLP12.24 of the Suffolk Coastal Local Plan also envisages a master planned approach for the whole site, as the timescale for delivery of the site is dependent upon education infrastructure provision it may be more appropriate to refer to undertaking master planning at an appropriate point in time to facilitate development coming forward. Further, the master planning could be developer-led, and the approach should be flexible at this stage.
