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.

The adoption of the SPD means changes for how applications will be assessed and introduces additional local validation requirements.
