Duty to co-operate? No

We consider that the Council has failed to demonstrate how it has met the Duty to Cooperate. CS2(b) explains that housing need will be met in the wider Ipswich Policy Area. Reference to Table 3 indicates that the 'residual need later in the plan' represents around 40% of the overall plan housing requirement. The 'duty to cooperate' topic paper published by the Council offers no substantive evidence that the Duty has been discharged. We are unconvinced that the Council can satisfactorily demonstrate that it has achieved the duty and for that reason we consider that the Plan is fatally flawed.
