Ipswich roads will not be able to cope with vast development on the fringes of the town without mitigation measures from neighbouring councils, it has been warned.

Ipswich Borough Council's planning committee on Wednesday agreed its response to the consultation of Babergh and Mid Suffolk district councils' joint local plan, in which it highlighted concerns over road impacts, air quality and other infrastructure like health facilities and schools.

Data from the draft plan indicated that Babergh was planning just over 2,000 homes on the Ipswich Fringe up to 2037 - 21% of its planned housing growth, while Mid Suffolk anticipated just over 1,700, 14% of its development.
