Argued for years that previous homes and employment targets set by IBC were too high, unrealistic and based upon flawed evidence. Now clear that previous Plans
were unsound and were therefore sub-optimal for Ipswich as we argued strongly at the time. Disappointing that IBC has taken so long to accept this. The proposed lower targets are more realistic. Agree with IBC that it has established a 5- year land supply of 5.06 years including a 20% buffer or contingency in the 5-year supply. Potential impact of Sizewell C on IGS and CS has not been assessed (rail freight Ipswich-Westerfield).
