We welcome recognition of the need to strengthen the duty to co-operate between IBC and its neighbouring Local Authorities in the preparation of joint or aligned Local Plans with a target adoption date of 2019. Over the past 5 years there has been a failure to produce any cross boundary outcomes on housing, jobs and strategic infrastructure and in our opinion, there has been a failure in the 'duty to co-operate'. We also welcome the recognition of an urgent need for IBC to work with neighbouring authorities to produce an up-to-date OAN for the housing market area and employment growth.
