Working collaboratively with neighbouring authorities on cross-boundary issues, including in relation to meet housing needs, should be a key priority for Ipswich Borough Council, particularly given the constraints of existing administrative boundaries. We note the collaborative approach being undertaken by Suffolk Coastal District Council and Ipswich Borough Council in seeking to address housing need, and commend such an approach. Clearly, there is a strong functional relationship between Ipswich and Suffolk Coastal District and it is entirely appropriate (as per the NPPF) for the authorities to work together to ensure development needs are met sustainably.
