It is noted that Ipswich itself has had the lowest increase in jobs compared with the wider Ipswich FEA. The economic targets for the area are also based on significant economic development opportunities that are located outside of the Ipswich urban area. Whilst there is always an opportunity for spin-off investment and job creation, any economic strategy and resultant land requirement needs to be based on realistic targets to avoid an excessive allocation of employment land which could otherwise be used for alternative land use requirements and demand.
