Whilst collaboration between the IPSA authorities has occurred it has not resulted in effective and concrete outcomes to ensure the housing needs of the HMA will be delivered in full. The Local Plan does not form a strategy that will provide the necessary certainty that is needed to ensure that the minimum housing requirement across the Ipswich Housing Market Area can be achieved in full over the plan period. From the outset of the plan making process, the local authorities within the ISPA have been aware of the issue of unmet needs arising from Ipswich over the plan period.
There are practical and sustainable options available to be considered in neighbouring authorities that can accommodate housing needs over the plan period in a sustainable manner, which can support wider infrastructure improvements, including at key junctions on the A14 which is an important cross boundary issue.
