The Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) is considered to be unsound as an evidence base to the local plan as it is not ‘justified’ - insofar as the current approach does not reflect the most appropriate strategy taking into account the reasonable alternatives, and based on proportionate evidence.

The omission to include reference to the ambulance services and facilities provided by The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) and its funding requirements to mitigate planned growth as an essential social infrastructure provider, is unwarranted and the IDP therefore ought to be updated.
