Part B of the policy [CS2 - see separate representation] states that later in the plan period the Council will work with neighbouring authorities to address the housing need within the Ipswich housing market area (HMA). We consider that the plan is unsound because:
a) it has not been positively prepared [to meet objectively assessed housing need];
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.
