Policy SCLP 12.24 Land at Humber Doucy Lane
It was agreed to make representations on the basis of both Soundness & Legality –
It does not comply with the Suffolk Coastal District Council Statement of Community Involvements as the Parish Council had not previously been consulted regarding this site (it was not mentioned in First Draft of the Local Plan).
It fails the test of Soundness as it has not been Positively Prepared in that it does not meet the needs of Tuddenham St Martin as evidenced in the Village Review 2016 (communicated to the District Council Planning Dept. in various meetings),and in that development of this site would hasten the encroachment of Ipswich towards Tuddenham.
The Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Draft had been received recently via email (including details of the proposed development of this site) and the Parish Council would fully discuss this at the next meeting prior to replying by the deadline date of 25th March 2019.
One interesting document which was revisited during this process by groups makes interesting reading.
Update of the Haven Gateway Green Infrastructure Strategy for the Ipswich Policy Area
https://www.ipswich.gov.uk/sites/default/files/ipa_green_infrastructure_report_-_final_published_october_2015.pdfIt validates the local concerns raised on the apparent disregard for local green infrastructure within these plans and indicates that it's findings on this matter haven't been sufficiently taken into account. It illustrates the further intrusion into the countryside and the erosion of local green spaces, green rim and Green Corridors with their important ecological networks of trees, hedgerows and small stepping stone areas for local wildlife - all which are further threatened.
