Representation Summary:

Presume shortfall of 796 units is a result of the housing supply period being reduced to 2019-2036 (Table 4). Please clarify. Ipswich only delivered 46% of the minimum target. Previous year, the measurement for Ipswich Borough Council was 66%. This indicates that housing delivery has worsened and measures needed to recover the position. Also very close to the 45% threshold in 2019 NPPF paragraph 215b. Threshold will increase to 75% next year which reinforces the urgency of addressing the significant shortfall in housing delivery. Council should be proactively identifying opportunities to accelerate delivery to overcome the significant shortfall.

Change suggested by respondent:

Clarify shortfall of 796 units.
