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. This includes 2011 Census data and DCLG 2012-based household projections as a starting point. Notwithstanding the issue of evidence, Policy CS7 does not provides 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. It is therefore contrary to NPPF paragraph 47.
