Policy DM9:
We welcome this policy, although suggest that its wording may need reconsidering in light of the NPPF and our recommended addition of greater policy coverage for designated heritage assets. The current wording will need to be consistent with both national policy and other parts of the Core Strategy.

We generally support this policy and the intention to protect the setting of central Ipswich. This policy needs to be compatible with the tall buildings policy and site specific proposals within the overall local plan.

Policy DM30:
It is not clear whether the density targets set out in this policy have been reviewed since the adoption of the Core Strategy to establish whether they remain appropriate. High densities may be acceptable in some locations, including in the town centre, but care needs to be taken to avoid harm to heritage assets through overly dense development. The policy helpfully sets out exceptions to the general approach, and we recommend specific site allocations provide clarity with regards to overall design issues.

The Policies Map shows an area of archaeological importance, which is also referenced in paragraph 8.42. However, there is nothing in the Core Strategy that explains what this means in terms of any relevant planning application, making this designation somewhat ineffectual.

The indicators and targets for Objective 8 should be improved with regards to the historic environment.
The indicators and targets for Objective 8 should be improved with regards to the historic environment. Reference to buildings at risk is welcomed, but the national register now covers all designated heritage assets on a Heritage at Risk (HAR) Register (www.english-heritage.org.uk/risk). There should be a related target to this indicator stating that the number of assets on the HAR Register should be reduced (there are currently two listed buildings and one conservation area on the HAR Register). Other indicators/targets could include the number of up-to-date conservation area appraisals and management plans, and/or the number of planning decisions made in accordance with officer / English Heritage advice (along the lines of the Sustainability Appraisal indicators).
