Comments prepared in liaison with NFPG. SOCS have consistently baulked at the unrealistic/ unjustified housing and job targets. We have challenged population projections which have driven this agenda. Good, at last, that the legacy of growth, expansion, over ambition and wishful thinking of the early 2000’s finally are being challenged. However, there is a way to go to
achieve a sound plan. The Duty to Cooperate is hard for Ipswich to achieve when partner organisations are reluctant to take ownership/ responsibility for the adverse impacts they are imposing on the County Town. Ipswich has little power/ control for resolution.
