[email protected] Mid Suffolk District Council Endeavour House, 8 Russel Road, Ipswich IP1 2BX Dear Mr Hobbs, Pre-Submission version of the Woolpit Neighbourhood Plan Thank you for consulting Suffolk County Council (SCC) on the submission version of the Woolpit Neighbourhood Plan. The county council welcome the changes made in response to comments from the regulation 14 consultation. This main purpose of this response is to provide an update to the education infrastructure issues raised in the county councils regulation 14 response. Primary Education In the pre-submission (regulation 14) response to the neighbourhood plan the county council highlighted that the plan presented a risk to the provision of school places, as at that time the site allocations would have cause the school to exceed its capacity but not provide enough developer contributions to enable its expansion.
