Ipswich has experienced under-delivery against their housing targets over the last three years, ranging between 55-64% (based on the 2017 AMR) (refer to table 3 of this representation). Consequently, the Plan should be allowing a 20% buffer of land for housing to compensate for previous years of under delivery in line with paragraph 73 of the NPPF.

The Borough's draft housing trajectory demonstrates that Ipswich cannot meet its current five-year housing land supply, let along the additional 20% buffer required to compensate for its failure to meet the Housing Delivery Test.
