The approach is not effective given the level of affordable housing needs within Ipswich will not be met over the plan period. The Council needs to address this situation if it is to meet the housing market areas full housing needs. NPPF p60 is clear that in addition to the local housing need figure, any needs that cannot be met within neighbouring areas should also be taken into account in establishing the amount of housing to be planned for. The Council must allocate additional housing land to make a meaningful contribution to housing land supply and boost affordable housing delivery.
This issue can be addressed through the allocation of sites within the vicinity of Ipswich within neighbouring districts such as the Orwell Green Garden Village.
