Representation Summary:

Policy CS7 sets out a policy with the minimum housing number that Ipswich Borough Council proposes to deliver in its area. The Housing Land Supply only amounts to a total of 7,214 dwellings, including an allowance for windfall development. Therefore, the Council already acknowledge that they have an unmet housing need of 1,597 dwellings over the Plan period, taking into account the 10% contingency that is allowed for in the final paragraph of the policy. Steps should therefore be taken with the ISPAB to now identify locations outside the boundary of Ipswich Borough Council where this unmet need can be accommodated.
