An alternative of co-operating more closely with other authorities to find a more sustainable location than the Northern Fringe, which is remote from new employment sites and not connected by sustainable transport, could have been identified. These are reasons why housing needs are unable to be met in the Borough, under the terms of the National Planning policy Framework. Support the strategy of urban renaissance in central Ipswich but concerned that multi-site development of the Garden Suburb will have a detrimental impact on this. The removal of the 60% target for development on brownfield land is a negative step.
