Representation Summary:
Financing infrastructure through developer contributions is difficult in Ipswich as net profit margins are low and contributions are challenged by developers on viability grounds. For example, Ipswich Garden Suburb required a grant of £9.8 million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund in order to proceed. The Draft needs to reflect this difficulty otherwise it is unsound.
