Respondent: Northern Fringe Protection Group

Housing Target: Yes. As the Government's White Paper clearly shows, the OAN for Ipswich Borough is too high and should be revised downwards.
Jobs Target: Yes. The EEFM forecast is clearly not "trend-based" and it is extremely misleading to imply that it is. It is too high as evidenced by the Experian figure in the Ipswich SHMA report, which should be used for Ipswich Borough. This is still far higher than historic trends.
We have a number of concerns with the underlying evidence basis for this section. [Please refer to full comments for more detail].
