No. Ipswich Borough cannot meet its current OAN target. Any increase in homes targets would clearly not deliver any more affordable housing in the Borough due to land constraints. We support IBC building affordable housing on its own land but as it already plans to do this, increasing the homes target will have no effect on numbers delivered. Affordable housing will only be provided in Ipswich Borough by commercial developers if it is viable to do so. Increasing the Ipswich OAN will not result in increased affordable housing outside the Borough as IBC would have little say in planning applications.
