Development and Flood Risk SPD - Practical Guidance for Applicants and Agents

The Development and Flood Risk Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) adopted on 27 July 2022 aims to help developers and their agents to submit appropriate flood risk and flood risk management information with planning applications in Ipswich. The aim is to manage and mitigate potential flood risk in the location and design of development. 

Low Emissions SPD - Practical Guidance for Applicants and Agents

The Low Emissions SPD (adopted November 2021) aims to improve air quality across Ipswich through new development. This will be achieved, where possible, through preventing new emission sources, encouraging emission reductions, and encouraging active travel choices. The adoption of the SPD means changes for how applications will be assessed and introduces additional local validation requirements.
