The newly published housing projections have in fact increased the local housing need within the Borough (and majority of the Councils forming the Ipswich Strategic Housing Market Area). We therefore agree with the approach adopted within the Preferred Options document, which uses the 2016-based household projections, as it still continues to support the Government's objective of "significantly boosting the supply of homes" (NPPF Paragraph 59). However, note that these should be interpreted as a minimum housing need as outlined in paragraph 60 of the NPPF.
