Policy CS7 relies upon evidence which is not up to date. In order to be certain that the full objectively assessed housing need has been identified, further updates to evidence are required. Notwithstanding the issue of evidence, Policy CS7 does not provide an adequate or sound basis for meeting housing need, since it is reliant on unidentified sources of housing land, including those outside the Ipswich Borough administrative area, to meet that need. The Council should focus on identifying the proportion of its full objectively assessed need that it can meet, and plan effectively to deliver that.
