Discrepancy in the housing need figures agreed across the HMA. Understood the IPSA agreed SOCG 2020, and a copy of this is available on the IBC website signed January 2020 (see table 1). The East Suffolk Final Draft Local Plan relies on the standard methodology based on the 2016 household projections, whereas the IBC Local Plan Review focusses on the 2014 household projections, thus reducing their housing need figure. Without further clarification with regards to the discrepancies between these projections, it is unclear whether the Council’s emerging Local Plan meets the tests of soundness, as outlined in NPPF 35.
