Persons or developers who seek to develop or alter buildings, structures and/or properties in the Town of Ipswich will likely require some type of approval from the
Building Department, often in the form of an issued building permit. Proposals to develop property by subdivision, as well as multi-family development and most commercial and industrial development, also require interaction with the
Planning Office and approval from the
Planning Board or
Zoning Board of Appeals. Assistance from the
Health Agent and the
Conservation Agent and approval from the
Board of Health and the
Conservation Commission, may also be required on some development projects.
Questions about what types of approvals may be required for specific projects should be directed to
Kristen Grubbs, Senior Planner or to
Jim Bone, Building Inspector. Specific enquiries about conservation, health, or affordable housing matters should be directed to the Conservation Agent,
Brendan Lynch; the Health Agent,
Colleen Fermon; or the Affordable Housing Coordinator,
Terry Anderson, respectively.
