Representation Summary:

The SA needs to take account of the outputs from the Viability Testing for Ipswich Borough Council report which questions the viability of office, industrial and warehouse development. The jobs figure is based on over-estimated population growth, the SA should take this into account.

The SA should assess the impact of developing the Sugar Beet Factory site on the delivery of the Core Strategy.
