There is no evidence that 9777 dwellings should be a minimum figure especially in the light of the latest Government household projections for Ipswich over the forecast period of 7799 dwellings. Paragraph 3.8 states that "OAN for new housing in Ipswich could be substantially more." There is no evidence of this and this sentence should be deleted. This second-guesses the findings of the proposed study. The target should be amended to 7799 dwellings in accordance with the latest Govt household projections. As a minimum the word "substantially" should be deleted. Even 9777 could be too high and have adverse impacts.
