We consider that the Ipswich plan is unsound on three counts
a) it has not been positively prepared - i.e. that the plan is based on a strategy which will meet the objectively assessed housing need including any unmet requirements from neighbouring authorities where it is reasonable to do so and consistent with achieving sustainable development;

b) it is unjustified - it does not represent the most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives; and

c) it is ineffective because it is not based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities.
