Representation Summary:

Within policy CS8 it is stated that through regard to the Ipswich Strategic Housing Market Assessment overall provision of a diverse range of housing will be secured, noting that the policy also states where that document remains up to date. Recent experiences of developing within the water front area in Ipswich has confirmed that there is a weak market for high density flatted development in Ipswich. It is recommended that allocations for schemes are revisited with a view to allow for lower density development. Persimmon endorse the statements made by the HBF.
