Representation Summary:

Joint evidence base documents for the Ipswich Policy Area have not been made available. Jobs targets for the four Ipswich Policy Area authorities are 26% higher than the January 2015 EEFM forecasts and are therefore at risk of being unrealistic. Evidence needs to be provided that the jobs targets will provide sustainability benefits and that the Core Strategies of neighbouring authorities take account of the need to deliver 4,000 extra homes and that the sustainability effects have been assessed. If the jobs target is sustainable why do jobs and homes need to be provided in other authority areas.
