I am not convinced that the housing need cannot be met in Ipswich alone. Large parts of brownfield land should be developed before shipping the need to less sustainable villages/towns. If it is truly evidenced that the needs cannot be met within IBC boundaries this should be accommodated from Copdock/Washbrook to Sproughton to Claydon to Martlesham then running within the A12 / A14 to the Orwell Bridge where appropriate. This should exclude any environmental aspects i.e. Pipers Vale.
