The core strategy seeks to address to need to accommodate 13,500 houses with the northern fringe development known as the 'Ipswich Garden Suburb' accounting for 3,500 houses. The principle of brown field first has now been dropped as I understand, this is rather short sighted. Brown field developments are normally more sustainable in all respects. It would appear that the desire on behalf of developers, to maximise profit is the key driver for the demise of brown field first.
